Re: [cdt-dev] How to build OS X Version of CDT

[Michael Jackson <mike.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I actually just took a look at my Eclipse Distribution (OS X) noticed  
the "Dropins" directory. So that is "new to me". I guess I'll google a  
bit to investigate how I should use that.

   Also, who does the build of CDT for OS X? Wouldn't mind talking to  
that person to see what their environment is like so I can try an  
replicate it here.
