Multi-platform project [message #150463]

I'm developing a program that is source compatible (GNU) for Linux and
Windows. I'd like to have a single project for both target platforms. Is
this possible and how? Is CDT able to detect the correct target platform
without changing project properties?

We are using Ant and CppTask under Eclipse & CDT for making a project.
It is possible to set all target specified issues into ant-file, so we
have same project and same platform for both platforms (Linux and Windows)

Here is simple example of ant build-file - in the beginning you can
found some conditions, depends from platform:

<project name="XPCOM String Test" default="BuildTest">


<condition property="win32" value="on">
<os family="windows"/>
</condition>
<condition property="unix" value="on">
<os family="unix"/>
</condition>

<condition property="compiler" value="gcc">
<os family="unix"/>
</condition>
<condition property="compiler" value="msvc">
<os family="windows"/>
</condition>
<condition property="compiler.debug" value="true" else="false">
<istrue value="${DEBUG}"/>
</condition>
<condition property="compiler.optimize" value="none" else="speed">
<istrue value="${DEBUG}"/>
</condition>
<condition property="define.os" value="_UNIX">
<os family="unix"/>
</condition>
<condition property="define.os" value="_WINDOWS">
<os family="windows"/>
</condition>


<property name="dir.sdk" value="${basedir}/../../../sdk" />


<condition property="dir.sdk.platform" value="Windows">
<os family="windows"/>
</condition>
<condition property="dir.sdk.platform" value="Linux">
<os family="unix"/>
</condition>



<property name="dir.xpcom.sdk"
value="${dir.sdk}/xpcom/${dir.sdk.platform}" />
<property name="dir.xpcom.gre"
value="${basedir}/../../gre/${dir.sdk.platform}" />


<property name="dir.base" value="." />
<property name="dir.src" value="${dir.base}" />
<condition property="dir.out" value="${basedir}/Debug"
else="${basedir}/Release">
<istrue value="${DEBUG}"/>
</condition>
<condition property="dir.obj" value="${basedir}/Debug"
else="${basedir}/Release">
<istrue value="${DEBUG}"/>
</condition>


<property name="dir.inc.shared" value="${basedir}/../../Shared" />

<taskdef resource="cpptasks.tasks" />
<taskdef resource="cpptasks.types" />

<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${dir.obj}" />
</target>

<target name="init">

</target>

<target name="BuildTest" depends="init"

<libset libs="stdc++" type="shared" if="unix"/>


<linkerarg location="end" value="advapi32.lib" if="win32"/>
</cc>
</target>
</project>
