[cdt-dev] Re: Multiple toolchains

[John Dallaway <jld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mikhail

Many thanks for your prompt advice. I now have multiple toolchains
available for selection within the new project wizard.

Is there any way for a toolchain definition to force the default value
of the compiler invocation command in a discovery profile? It appears
that the default value is always "gcc".

Hi John,

The "configuration" element can contain only one "toolChain" element.
You should define separate configurations for each of your tool-chains.
An alternative way to define a "general" project-type entry containing
multiple tool-chains is using the BuildProperties mechanism.

See the "What's new in the CDT Build System 4.0" document available in
the CDT documentation.

Hi

I have a plug-in for CDT 4.0.0 which extends
org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions to provide a new
project type and a number of new toolchains. The layout of the CDT "new
project" wizard suggests that I should be able to define multiple
toolchains which are compatible with my new project type and allow the
user to select which of these toolchains to use within a specific
project. I have attempted to do this using something like:

  <projectType name="My project type">
    <configuration>
      <toolChain id="toolchain.1" name="1st toolchain">
        ...
      </toolChain>
      <toolChain id="toolchain.2" name="2nd toolchain">
        ...
      </toolChain>
      ...
    </configuration>
    ...
  </projectType>

When I do this, only the most recently declared toolchain ("2nd
toolchain") is presented in the wizard when I select the new project
type. If I swap the order of the toolchain declarations, I see only "1st
toolchain" in the wizard. Is this a bug, or have I missed something?
