[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] How to add a new tool chain in CDT?

fallwind@xxxxxxx (fallwind) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:20:48 GMT

Just start using eclipse, I am going to use eclipse with a mingw based cross toolchain.
After go through the GUIs, I found eclipse doesn't know the existance of my cross toolchain, it just find out the standard mingw toolchain.
How can I add my tool chain and when I start a new project I can just choose the new added one as my toolchain?

*facepalm* Apparently, I had hit static library when I meant to do a shared library. Thanks for your help.

Yes please see the Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform
http://eclipse.org/ptp

We have some analysis tools that do exactly that: use the C/C++ parser, AST, etc to do analysis specific to parallel programming.

>suggest  parts can be  parallelised with appropriate transformation.
That would be terrific if you would consider contributing to PTP!
The PLDT (Parallel Language Development Tools) is the part of PTP
that contains the analysis code so far.

I want to add guided parallel programming support to CDT. It will analyse the sequential code of user and suggest him parts can be parallelised with appropriate transformation.I Thought of developing a multipage editor.To analyse the code I need to parse the C/C++ code. Does CDT provides any support to access its parser or syntax tree.

I'm running Eclipse 3.5 (64-bit) on Mac 10.6.1. I just installed it and
added the CDT package including all the optional stuff. The only tabs I
have under "Paths and Symbols" are Includes, Symbols, Source Location,
and References. Where's my Linker and Linker Path? How am I being stupid?

I've just realised your problem.

If the "Linker" tab is not being shown, it is because you have a project that is not linked - that is, it is probably a library project.

What you need to do, is create a new executable project. This is a project type that uses a linker and thus you can link a library to it.

Have ypu looked in

Project properties->C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Linker -> Libraries?

[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] Re: Building header files

ReinerHummel@xxxxxxx (Hummel ) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:12:11 GMT

It's the same here. CDT Internal Builder does not generate the dependencies correctly but I also don't know how to fix this, maybe it's still a bug in the dependencies generator of CDT Internal Builder.

You can try to use the external gnu make builder instead if you have gnu make in your path. Go to your 'project properties->C/C++ Build->Tool Chain Editor', in field 'Current builder' select 'Gnu Make Builder' and rebuild your project. Dependencies will then work as expected.

I can get around the problem in my project if I rename the hpp-header to cpp (in my case the header is only included in main). However although the object file gets build, the executable does not. It seems I am missing some basic knowledge here.

[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] Debugging C program with Eclipse+gdb as root

hepeti@xxxxxxx (hepeti ) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 03:33:11 GMT

Hi all,

I'm having some problems running gdb through eclipse europa as root. I need to debug a program which tries to call some pthread functions that requires root privileges.

Actually, all the processes are launched as root (eclipse, gdb and my application) but when debugger reaches the first pthread function it returns an error (permission denied). I have looked for some solution in the newsgroup, and found one thread similar but the solution doesn't apply here since I do run eclipse and then gdb as root.

If I run as root gdb and the application in console mode, there is no problem at all. If I run just the application as root, no error. If I run it as user, I got the same error. Sorry, but I don't have any guess.

Thanks

Hector

Hi,

I have self answered a part of my question. I used windres and a rc file to compile my icon and i linked the .o with the exe. Now, my question is, is there a simple way to add resources to the exe usin cdt options?

Thanks.
