Need help with Rake [message #212759]

I have a C++ project which I build with Rake.

* 'rake all' or just 'rake' will build the whole project
* 'rake clean' cleans it.
* To compile a single file, can do 'rake single srcfile=/path/file.cpp'

I am using a gcc compiler, so error messages should be understood.
But it is not the default gcc compiler on the system, it is an
alternative ARM compilers.

I unchecked scanner configuration builder, and cdt builder. I added a
Rake builder, with /usr/bin/rake as the location. Now it always runs
this command. But it doesn't run it with appropriate arugments. i.e.,
if I do a clean, it just runs 'rake'. Under arguments, I need to pass
it the build target. But "Variables..." does not list a target. If it
listed a target, all would be well. How is this done for normal
makefile project in eclipse? I should be able to do it the exact same way.

Also, I am assuming the that 'incremental' means that only the currently
changed file is compiled? Is there that when eclipse wants to compfile
path/file.cpp, I can have it call 'rake single srcfile=path/file.cpp' ?

Any help and comments appreciated.

I forgot:

How do I make my rake builder be used for the auto-error
checking/highlighting feature too.

Thanks,
