Hi,
Is it possible to use path variables inside the path to the cross tools directory?
Background: We have several dependant projects in a git-repository, all using a powerpc gcc toolchain for compilation. For now every project has the path to the cross tools set individually, which however is quite cumbersome when multiple people work using version control - as everybody has its cross tools installed in a different path.
So instead of instructing everyone to manually adjust the cross-tools-path for each project according to the local installation, I would like to use a workspace-wide path variable (Menu->Window->Preferences->General->Workspace->Linked-Ressources) which would just have to be set once per developer - the project settings could simply depend on this variable and stay the same across different developer machines.
So what I did was:
1. Create a workspace-wide path variable to the cross-gcc
2. is this variable in the workspace-settings (as shown in the screenshot attached)
However, for some reason the cross-tools path is not evaluated as soon as a path variable is contained in it. Compilation fails, and from what I can see the specified path is not used at all:
'Invoking: Cross G++ Linker'
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-g++
Any idea what is going wrong here?
Is this a bug in Eclipse, or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks & best regards, Clemens
