CDT 4.0: Where is the build zip file? [message #194763]

Since I'm building a product on top of CDT that supports both Linux and
Windows I need both sets of features on my build host. How is such a
situation intended to be solved when only the update site features are
available?

Not sure what you mean by only the update site features. The cdt-master
contains all of the CDT features for all hosts. Simply extract the ones
you need.

Yes, but the features are packed for an update site, not for installing. If
I install from the zipped update site, my Linux build host will not have
the Windows features installed and vice versa. If I just unzip that file I
would have to manually replicate what the update manager does in order to
get all features installed. What I would like is the zip file containing
all the features resulting from a build using the releng tools. It used to
be distributed with CDT before and still is with most other Eclipse
projects.

All the update manager does is unzip the features and the plugins that
are marked "unpack". It does no other processing.

What I would like is for someone to work on the CDT releng tools. Right
now we have no one...

Ok, I guess all features should be unpacked. When it comes to plug-ins one
would have to go through each of these figuring out if they should be
unpacked or not.

How do you build CDT then? I'm certain that up to one of the release
candidates this zip file was available. I wish I could lend a hand but I'm
afraid my short term schedule does not allow for that.

That's easy, it's in the feature.xml for the features. And currently the
only plugin that gets unpacked is the cdt.core.win32 since it has the
starter.exe that we need to do a CreateProcess on. Actually if we get
smart about it, we could even do that unpacked since the Eclipse runtime
knows enough to extract the DLLs and shared libraries containing the
native code that gets loaded.

Right now, we only build the cdt-master feature which includes all the
other features. The resulting zip file is then sent to the signer on the
Eclipse build machine. We then take the resulting zip file and the
compile and junit logs and post them to the build page. This is all
automated. The process is dead simple, until someone wants to invest the
time to make it more complicated.
