[cdt-core-dev] Proposed extensions to MBS of CDT 2.1

[Lars.Kurth@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

I am posting this e-mail to kick off a discussion
on improving the Makefile Build System. Symbian has performed an investigation
as to whether the MBS in CDT 2.1 is sufficiently feature-rich to support
building of Symbian binaries using MBS. In summary, the answer appears
to be no. However the MBS is close to what Symbian needs, thus the best
option moving forward from our point of view, is to extend MBS. I attached
a document outlining some ideas to start a discussion with key stake-holders
of the CDT community about possible improvements to MBS. The document also
intends to verify whether Symbian’s conclusion that MBS needs to be extended
in order to support the Symbian Build Process is correct. If so, we would
also like to discuss what the best way is to make and integrate changes
into the CDT code base (presumably a CDT patch).

Best Regards
