[cdt-core-dev] Custom Toolchain w/MBS on Windows - backslashes vs forwar

[John K <johnk_dev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm having a heck of a time integrating our toolchain
(custom for a 16-bit x86 embedded proc) with the
Managed Build System.  I've been able to create a
plug-in, create a project, and get the builder to
generate a makefile and invoke "make", but make uses
forward slashes in all of the source file path names
when it calls the compiler command.  How do I get it
to use backslashes?  

I've searched the MBS, eclipse docs, and the web for
literally two days and I haven't found anything that
addresses it.  I found an example of how to integrate
MSVC with Eclipse (using make), but they used a really
really simple example that didn't need any relative
paths to get to the source code modules!

When I try building, I get:

**********
Building file: ../Src/ODemo.c
Invoking: Custom C/C++ Compiler
xcc Src/ODemo.obj ../Src/ODemo.c
XXXXX Compiler Version X
Copyright (c) XXXXX, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Error: Invalid optimization option '.obj'
Error: Command line contains more than one file to
compile
Error: Invalid option '/Src'
Error: Invalid optimization option '.c'
Unable to open '..'
make: *** [Src/ODemo.obj] Error 9
**********

I'm guessing it's assuming that I want it to run
inside the Cygwin environment, but I've read in the
GNU make docs that it can be run in a DOS style shell
by changing the SHELL variable.  I tried making a
makefile.init with SHELL=command.com and I get:

**********
E:\Work\ODemo>Specified COMMAND search directory bad
Parameter format not correct
Too many parameters
Invalid switch
Too many parameters
Invalid switch
Invalid switch
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

**********

If I try SHELL=cmd.exe I get:

**********
E:\Work\ODemo\Release>Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version
5.00.2195]
(C) Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp.

'++' is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.
make: *** [Src/ODemo.obj] Error 1
**********

I'm guessing the '++' error is because make is giving
its echo statements to cmd.exe: 'Invoking: Custom
C/C++ Compiler'.

Any ideas?

Also, are there any better make/build utilities out
there for Eclipse CDT projects on Windows?

Thanks,

John
