Specifically, IMO the following bits are required to fill in for the missing bits: 1. Wizards for various types of GNOME projects and files (should be easy to get them from Anjuta and other projects) 2. Autotools integration (including GUI - should not be very difficult - take ideas/code from Anjuta/KDevelop) 3. Integrate GNOME documentation (Emulate what devhelp is doing with output of gtk-doc or convert devhelp TOC XML. Also need man and info convertors into Eclipse doc XML format for TOC)Is anyone working on any of the above ?We plan to investigate auto tools integration in the near future.The GNUDE lives on!! It would be of interest to me to follow some of your dev, I had some ideas on integration of the autotools, but unfortunately did not act on them for lacks of time. _______________________________________________ cdt-core-dev mailing list cdt-core-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cdt-core-dev
Hi,I don't think it is possible to integrate autotools into ide when every distro has different versions of Autoconf, Automake etc. Even small bugs in generated scripts are very difficult to fix, since very small number of developers completely understands the way autotools (in different versions) works. Maybe it would be enough to create "Export workspace to .tar.gz" option with some parameters for "make install" step. I mean parameters like what files goes into which folder.
