Re: [cdt-dev] What exactly is CDT core build?

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin,

Core build was written by Doug - he isn't active here anymore.

Jeff has the most experience with Core build AFAIK.

@Jeff, can you comment on any of Martin's questions, or direct us to the best place to find the answers?

Thanks,
Jonah

Hi all,

What exactly is core build compared to managed build? Are there any
concept papers that explain it? I found standard build [1] in the CDT
wiki.
Which packages belong to the scope of core build?

I am evaluating a path to improve cmake build support for CDT that
takes the CMakeLists.txt as the source of truth. I already did that
for managed build (cmake4eclipse), but MBS gives a project
configuration UI that is confusing to users: Lots of the input fields
simply have no effect if the project uses cmake to generate build
scripts.

Looking at the CDT code base, I found at least one discrepancy:
The CMake-project-creation wizard put a <pathentry> for the output
location into the .cproject file, but CBuildConfiguration.class
hard-codes the location to be
project.getFolder("build").getFolder(configName).
Is core build supposed to use .cproject to store the preferences any longer?

Regards, Martin
