[cdt-dev] Defining new Build Properties / Automatic tool settings adjust

["Schlemper, Irene" <irene.schlemper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I want automatically adjust my tool setting, depending on the target type, the user can select in the New Project Wizard Page. Therefore I defined new project templates and template associations :

 

plugin.xml:

...

<extension point="org.eclipse.cdt.core.templates">

    <template id="test.templates.project.executable" location="/templates/template.xml" projectType="org.eclipse.cdt.build.core.buildArtefactType.exe" />

    <template id="test.templates.project.staticLib" location="/templates/template.xml" projectType="org.eclipse.cdt.build.core.buildArtefactType.staticLib"/>

</extension>

<extension point="org.eclipse.cdt.core.templateAssociations">

    <template id="test.templates.project.executable">

        <toolChain id="com.siemens.ad.audis.toolchain.base" />

    </template>

        <template id="test.templates.project.staticLib">

    <toolChain id="com.siemens.ad.audis.toolchain.base" />

    </template>

</extension>

...

template.xml

...

<property-group id="basics" label="Basic Settings" description="Basic properties of an AUDIS executable project" type="PAGES-ONLY" help="help.html">

    <property id="targetType" label="Target Type" description="Select the target type." type="select" default="x86" hidden="false" mandatory="true" persist="true">

        <item label="x86" value="x86"/>

        <item label="ARM" value="ARM"/>

    </property>

    </property-group>

...

(see result in project.jpg)

<extension point="org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildProperties"  id="test.baseproperties"  name="Test  Base Build Properties Definition">

        <propertyType  id="test.buildproperty.targetType"  name="Target Type" />

        <propertyValue property="test.buildproperty.targetType" id="test.targetType.x86" name="x86" />

        <propertyValue property="test.buildproperty.targetType" id="test.targetType.arm" name="ARM" />

</extension>

In the build definitions I would like to use supported properties and enablement mechanism to specify tool property values e.g. the value for compiler property "command".

<extension name="Test Build Definitions" point="org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions">

    <managedBuildRevision fileVersion="4.0.0" />

    <tool id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.generic.tools.compiler.c" name="Generic Test GCC C Compiler" superClass="cdt.managedbuild.tool.gnu.c.compiler">

        <supportedProperties>

            <property id="test.buildproperty.targetType">

            <value id="test.targetType.x86" />

            <value id="test.targetType.arm" />

        </property>

Where can I find an enablement-description? Is it possible to set the value of a tool property (command), dependent on  build properties? Or is it only used for options? And how can I set a relationship from my own build properties to a user input?

Any idea/example? How can help?

Irene
