I'm a new user who is trying to set-up CDT as the IDE for the cross-tools
arm-elf-gcc and arm-elf-gdb among others. I have these running under cygwin.
After studing the documentation I have come to the conclution that i need to
generate a new plug-in for this toolchain.

I have done the tutorial on the subject and everything seens to be OK. What
I'm looking for is the plugin for the standart toolchain (gcc,gdb..) that I
can load into the plug-in development inviroment as an example on how to set
up a complete toolchain with verious compilers,linkers and all that stuff.

I am of the impression that I can more or less just edit this plug-in to use
arm-elf-xxx instead of just xxx tools. Can anyone give me directions to
these standart plug-in's for both compiler and debugger.

Thanks Jesper.

Jesper,
I don't quite know where to start. Let's try to get your questions a bit
more focussed and see where we go from there.

There are two build systems; we have arbitrarily taken to calling them
the standard build system and the managed build system. The standard
build system calls the make utility you specify on the makefile you
supply and it cannot be extended. The managed build system has a grammar
for specifying toolchains like yours. It will display UI elements for
editing the settings for the tools you define and generates a makefile
for you. Which one are you asking about?

Debugger integration is another area entirely, something I cannot help
you with.

If you mean to use the standard build system with your cross-compiler,
then all you have to do is put a build target in your makefile that
calls the proper cross-compiler.

Have you looked at the online documentaion for adding your toolchain to
the managed build system? It describes a cook-book approach to creating
a plug-in with a tool and some options (adding more tools is left to you
since it is pretty mechanical after you understand the process). If you
have specific questions about this doc/tutorial I can try to answer them.

There are some limitations to the managed build system that we are
working on in the next release. If you decide that the managed build
system is not currently the way to go, then you can look to see how the
managed build system plugs into the CDT as an example of how your own
builder might work.

Hope this helps,

Sean Evoy

I might be missing the point, but under Linux, there is no need for a new
plugin. (CDT 2.1.? )In the makefile you write - specify the compiler. In the
debug-as menu, you can specify the remote debugger (assuming you have an
arm-target running a gdb-server connected either through internet or
serial.) The userinterface is buggy though, but we are currently
demonstrating this on the following hardware: www.excito.com
