| RE: [cdt-dev] Newbie instructions for getting up and running with the CDT |
Hi Judy,
I was wondering why we weren't using the PDE to make setting up the CDT build easier. Here's what I do to get things ready:
1) In the Preferences window->Plug-In Development->Target Platform, select all plug-ins. This step really only has to be done once when you first run an Eclipse installation.
2) From dev.eclipse.org:/home/tools, Check Out As Project org.eclipse.cdt* although you probably want to leave out cdt.old since it is big and isn't used anymore.
3) In the Java perspective, select the above projects and do an Update Classpath. Now, I'm not sure if this really needs to be done all of the time. When I do this, most of the .classpath and .project files get updated. If they were committed, you might not need to do this step at all.
And that's it. Everything compiles. From there, you can do the CDT build steps to create the distribution zips. You can also run/debug the CDT in a "Run-Time Workbench".
I may be missing something but if the community allows me, I would like commit the changes to the .classpath and .project files to make this work. Also, I'd like to fix the missing project dependency between debug.core and core.
Thanks,
- Doug

Hi folks,
This is a quick list of steps to get you started with the CDT.
I'll be posting this to the website and to the Wiki Web within the week.
Note: Package names are valid as of today 27 Sept 2002. There will obviously
be more added in the future.

1)
Start Eclipse
2)
Open the Browse CVS Repository Perspective
3)
Check out the following CDT specific projects from the Eclipse CVS repo:
/home/tools
Anonymous
no password required
org.eclipse.cdt
org.eclipse.cdt.core
org.eclipse.cdt.core.linux
org.eclipse.cdt.core.qnx
org.eclipse.cdt.core.solaris
org.eclipse.cdt.core.win32
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.ui
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui
org.eclipse.cdt.launch
org.eclipse.cdt.ui
org.eclipse.cdt-feature
Optional:
the "org.eclipse.cdt.*.tests" packages can also be checked out.
In which case you will also need to import the org.junit package (and others
?) in the next step.
Additional instructions regarding testing will be coming soon.
4)
Import > External Plugins & Fragments > Plugins from the Runtime Workbench >
5)
Select the following from the list
org.apache.lucene
org.apache.xerces
org.eclipse.ant.core
org.eclipse.compare
org.eclipse.core.boot
org.eclipse.core.resources
org.eclipse.core.runtime
org.eclipse.debug.core
org.eclipse.debug.ui
org.eclipse.help
org.eclipse.platform
org.eclipse.search
org.eclipse.swt
org.eclipse.swt.win32 (or other platform specific project, will be added
through the next step)
org.eclipse.ui
org.eclipse.update.core
6)
Then press "Add Required Plugins" button.
This will add any other plugins that are required by the selected ones
e.g. platform specific such as org.eclipse.swt.win32
To Build the CDT from within Eclipse
1)
Browse to the org.eclipse.cdt package directory
2)
Edit the "about.mappings" file to indicate the build number
# e.g. "0=<year><month><date>"
0=20020926
3)
Browse to the org.eclipse.cdt-feature package directory
4)
Open the "feature.xml" file
5)
Select the "Package" button from the Overview Page
6)
From the dialog that is presented select the following IN ORDER. Notice the
numbers that appear beside the selected items.
1) clean
2) init
3) build.jars
4) build.update.jar
5) build.zips
6) zip.distribution
7) build.sources
8) zip.sources
Note items 7 & 8 are optional and only if you want to package the sources.
They also take a fairly large component of time.
When the build is complete there will be a binary
distribution zip file and (optionally) a sources zip file
e.g.
org.eclipse.cdt_20020926_1.0.0.bin.dist.zip ... zipped features and plugins
org.eclipse.cdt_20020926_1.0.0.src.zip ... zipped sources
