Roopa,
That makes more sense now. Unfortunately,
the answer is not yet. For 3.0, we want to make it possible for the user
to take advantage of Eclipse's built-in path variables. To do that though,
we need to have a way for ISVs to supply customized variables and define
a set of defaults that should work at all times. In theory anyway, it should
then be a lot easier to support team development where all the machines
may have slightly different setups. In the meantime, you are going to have
to use some ingenuity to work-around this limitation. I wish i had better
news, but we are aware of the problem and working towards a solution.

Sean,
For some of the tools/build environment, the user needs to set in support
variables in the path specification
so as to successfully run her/his tool.
This can be achieved by the use of  Batch file or a simple shell script
setting in those pre-requisites support variables
in the current shell.This is what I meant by batch file functionality.Is
this supported in CDT 2.0..?

I feel, this can be achieved by the implemenation of requirement C11 as
mentioned in FDS.

Roopa

Roopa,
As I mentioned, C13 was implemented in the new project wizard. In CDT 1.2,
we filtered all targets that were displayed to a user at project creation
time based on the OS that CDT was running on. So, for example, you would
not have a chance to create a shared library for Solaris if you were
running CDT on Windows. Now, there is a check box on the target selection
page of the NPW that unfilters the target list. You can still only select
one target for a project, and you cannot change it after you have created
the project. Support for multiple targets in a single project is something
we are working towards, but changing a target after a project has been
created is not.

I do not know what you mean by batch functionality, exactly. It is probably
worth mentioning that we are currently working towards the 2.1 release
and
that there is no real plan of record as to what will and will not be
available in 3.0. Again, you can look at the bugzilla entry 68232 where
there are attachments in ms-word and html format that outline the features
we believe are important.

Hello Sean,.
Can u tell me in which menu is the requirement C13 implemented. I could
not
find it for myself in any of the option menus in Eclipse 3.0 .
Also, whats the time frame targetted for 3.0 release of CDT.?

Is batch functionality present in CDT 2.0? or is it also targetted in 3.0
release?

Rgds,
Roopa

Roopa,
I prefer that we keep these types of communications on the CDT Dev list
so
that everyone can stay informed. Requirement C13 was implemented via a
check-box on the new project wizard that allows you to remove the target
filter (usually the OS that CDT is running on). C11 and C15 were not
implemented in 2.0 (and I don't think C15 will be on the table for the
next
release either). Please refer to the bugzilla entry 68232 for more details
on what we are planning for the next major release of the CDT managed build
system.

            Specifications and change project
types
















Hi,
I am a newbie to Eclipse and  CDT and getting to know of the features
supported by it.
I'm trying to integrate my build-environment  thru CDT.

To integrate my build enviornment with CDT, I need to set in some of the
path variables and also
change Project Types (C15).

These are  mentioned in the document " CDT 2.0 Managed Build
System FDS"
,as requirements C11, C13 and C15
respectively.
However, I dont find the UI or similar UI in the present download of CDT.I
'm using 2.0 .1 version and Eclipse 3.0.

Can you let me know if these are implemented in the current release ? If
not, will they be implemented in
subsequent releases of CDT?

Thanks,
Rgds,
Roopa

PS: I did not see any appropriate mailing list to post this query of mine
,
hence am posting it to you
