RE: [cdt-dev] builder and MinGW
|
Hi John,
I went through this a few weeks ago. Actually
the help is your friend in this case. It tells you exactly which packages
you need to install and *where* (i.e. c:\mingw, which is probably your
issue).

But I agree, there should at least be an error explaining
why the tool-chain is unsupported, and better yet, an obvious way to
reconfigure the path.

I'm trying to use CDT with MinGW for the first time and am having
some trouble. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong or this is just indicative
of a bad out-of-the box experience for our MinGW users. The problems I'm
experiencing are with a C project I created using the wizard, having chosen
MinGW as the toolchain.
For starters, mingw's make is called
mingw32-make. When I build the project, the builder assumes 'make' is
available. So, I hit that wall right out of the gate. I can get passed this by
renaming the mingw make program to 'make'. Are we expecting users to take this
manual step?
Now the project builds but I get these warnings in the
console
**** WARNING: The "Debug" Configuration may not
build ****
**** because it uses the "Cygwin GCC"
****
**** tool-chain that is unsupported on this system.
****
The used tools (as showing in the Tool Chain Editor
properties page) are:
GCC Assembler
GCC Archiver
GCC C++
Compiler
GCC C Compiler
MinGW C Linker
MinGW C++ Linker
Note
that I have not tweaked the wizard generated project. Also, I get the same
behavior whether I use Gnu Make Builder or CDT Internal
Builder.
Can someone enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong or why
our MinGW support is quirky?
John
