[cdt-debug-dev] Adding a new compiler

["Hugh O'Keeffe" <hugh.okeeffe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi CDT Developers,

I'm an Eclipse end user for some time and am now venturing into developing
plugins. I want to add support for a new GNU tool. It's slightly different
from the already supported CDT  GNU tools e.g. the compiler/linker/assembler
have different executable names and different user settable switches (which
I want to allow the user to select graphically).

I'm currently studying the existing plug-in
("org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ui_3.0.0") to determine how to do this.

Any hints/tips would be appreciated. E.g. should I copy the above to create
a new plugin or is it possible to use the plugin as is with some "extension
points" to override/change settings for my new tool ?

Thanks in advance,

Hugh,,
