[cdt-dev] Building native components for CDT

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if/where the process for building the native
components for CDT are?

For example, I am trying to build the winpty support, at the moment
the code for it is not committed[1].

The SWT folk plan in 4.8 (Photon) to move their native builds to
Eclipse Foundation infra[2,3]. I believe it is critical we do the
same.

The first step in this is to understand/reproduce the build.

Any insights from those that have built the native components would be
greatly appreciated. I have raised Bug 521515[4] to track this work.
