Re: [cdt-dev] Building CDT outside Eclipse

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm guessing that is really old information.

To build the release candidates for
1.2.1, I am using an Update Site project and building from within Eclipse.
Not every automated but we're almost done with 1.2.1.

For 2.0, I am in the midst of writing
the necessary stuff to build the CDT using the same mechanism that Eclipse,
GEF and VE are using. I should be done that in a couple of days and will
check it into org.eclipse.cdt.releng with the necessary documentation.
(I currently have my nightly build scripts there which will become obsolete).
This should be much cleaner.

Subject	[cdt-dev] Building CDT outside Eclipse

Hi all,

I've been trying to build CDT from the command line using the ANT scripts but without much success.

I've been following the instructions from http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/cdt-home/developer/build/developingCDT.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project.

This says to use the build.xml files from the buildscripts (cdt-home/buildscripts/buildScripts/plugins/*/build.xml)  folder but they don't seem upto date  - are these what you use to build CDT ?

For example, when I try to run them I get errors like:
file:Q:/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.core/build.xml:46: srcdir "Q:\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.cdt.core\build" does not exist!

When in CVS there are no longer source files under the folder org.eclipse.cdt.core\build - presumably these were moved out when managed make and standard make features were created ?

Where can I find the same scripts you use to build the release candidates / or info on how you use them ?

Thanks,
Tracy
