Re: [cdt-dev] CDT 6.0 help

What about CDT 6.0 developer guide for newbies?
I'm currently working on a CDT-based plug-in and almost all of the developer guide (api reference and extension points) is too old to be useful.

There are several cases of wording and label/dialog names
matching old versions of CDT, and some misleading stuff.
I'm fixing that, hopefully there's time for another build.
There are two walk-thrus of sample projects, one is
managed build but the other is half describing that, half
describing a Makefile project.
I'm fixing it to be a pure makefile project. It's a good
example basically, i'm just fixing it up to be consistent
and match CDT 6.0.
But one thing that really bothers me is that for a simple
helloworld Makefile example, where you enter the main.cpp
and type in the makefile per the example (the title in the
help is "Creating a project" but I'm changing it to
"Creating a makefile project")
if you bring up the debugger, it does not find the src.
(The debug config also does not select a debugger, which
is odd, but i can inform the user to select "gdb/mi" and
they are on their way.)
The missing source is really bothersome, new users
shouldn't see that when the source is right there.
I have tried this on Windows/cygwin, and Mac.
I was using platform SDK RC3 (on Windows) and latest CDT
build. I'm downloading RC4 just to make sure.
I tried it a couple more times, and now it seems to be
working (on Mac anyway). I don't think i did anything to
change its behavior.
Any idea why this simplest case is confusing? at least at
first?
I'll test more after lunch.
