I understand that an msvc toolchain is planned for cdt 5.0 this summer.
Is this integration available in the nightly builds at all yet? I
installed the 3.4 platform and cdt 5.0M5a yesterday and don't see any
option to use msvc in my project(s).
I'd like to volunteer for early adoption/testing if msvc support is even
alpha-level yet.
Thanks,
Chris

Actually, no, it's not planned for CDT 5.0. (Just wondering where you
heard that so I can fix it).
It will show up in a tech preview in Wascana over the summer some time.
But even then, if I can get MinGW gcc 4.3.x and gdb 6.7.x working well,
that will be the preferred toolchain for Wascana.
The real stumbling block has been a debug integration. Without that, I'm
not interested in spending time on it. However, if you'd like to try it,
it is in CVS on dev.eclipse.org, repository /cvsroot/tools, module:
org.eclipse.cdt/windows/org.eclipse.cdt.msw.build
Cheers,
Doug.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

The incomplete solution is that there is no debugger support. You can't
debug your projects. If all you want to do is build, then the msvc
integration will do that.

There are no UI difference between Wascana and the standard Eclipse/CDT
unless all you're talking about is the icon and title bar.

No, there has been no real work on .Net at all. I tried to kickstart
such a project but there was little interest from the community and it's
a big job. Generally I find that these things don't happen unless
someone has a commercial interest in it.
