CDT with different Compilers [message #156872]

Hello,

I would like to use CDT with different compilers. I have seen in eclipse
under Project -> C/C++Build the possibility to generate various
configurations. But the configuration switches define only GNU Compiler
switches. Is there a possibility to use this grafical menu for other
compilers like Visual compiler or Borland compiler?

Greetings

Jan

I'm not sure what you mean by

Project -> C/C++Build

but I've been able to set up the project make options to use several
different compilers.

Project->Properties->C/C++ Make Project->Make Builder Tab.

Typically this involves a "hack" to first tell the system not to use the
default build command "make" and instead use your compiler or build
tool. EG. gbuild.exe is a tool Green Hills uses to build their
proprietary projects so I change the build command from make to

gbuild.exe HELMSMAN.gpj

where Helmsman.gpj is the project file. Then you can pass different
switches into the Build, Rebuild and Clean builds depending on your
compiler.

You can also use Make targets to do the same thing, with a bit of extra
extendability:

Here is a sample make target that builds a given project in a given
solution..

Target Name:
VSProject

Make Target:
FlightSoftware.sln /build debug /project FlightSim.vcproj

Build Command:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE\devenv.com

Here is a sample using the gbuild command

Target Name:
HELMSMAN-All

Make Target:
HELMSMAN.gpj

Build Command:
gbuild.exe -all

Of course in this case, gbuild is on my path.

Jan,
If you are using Standard Build, just write a makefile to use whatever
tool you want. If you are using managed build, you can write a plug in
to work with your tool, Check out
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/cdt-home /user/Reference%20Documents/Managed_Build_21/Managed_Build_E xtensibility.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project
(Sorry for the long URL). It has instructions on how to create your own
plug in.

I have a similar problem and have been experimenting with an
Ant plugin called cc http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/cc.html.

It has a lot of promise. It would be nice though, if the
"Managed Make" option that we have, would actually create
Ant build files instead of make files. This would benefit
both the C++ developers and the Java developers.

I have my default.gpj project in Multi from Green Hills and I would like to know how I can integrate this project in eclipse. I'm using eclipse Helios and I've imported my Green Hills libraries to eclipse. I can make a green Hills project from eclipse and I add my BSP version and other features but when I build the project, there are errors and i don't know why? Someone can help me?

Regards,

oscar.
