Re: [platform-dev] How do I build the eclipse sdk from CVS?

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Typically the SDK is not built manually.
 Instead, just the native fragments are compiled on the target platform
(SWT and optionally org.eclipse.core.filesystem), and checked into CVS.
 Then, a single eclipse build mechanism runs against CVS to build
the SDK for all platforms. If you haven't already done so, I suggest contacting
platform-swt-dev with your contribution and they can go through the contribution
process with you. To submit a platform patch for the org.eclipse.core.filesystem
plugin, please enter a bug report against Platform Resources, including
any patches to the native source or make files, and attach the compiled
native.

Subject	[platform-dev] How do I build the eclipse sdk from CVS?

Hi there,

A while ago I ported the Eclipse 3.1 SDK(+ the native SWT bits) onto the
Solaris X86_64 platform.  I'd really like to submit these changes
back
to the Eclipse CVS and so I was trying to work out how to patch my
changes into a current CVS snapshot.  However, I can't work out how
to
actually build Eclipse from the CVS?  It seems to be all split up
into
different packages.  Is there a way of taking lots of packages from
CVS
and turning them into a buildable SDK?  What's the best way to do
this?

Kind Regards,

Ben Staniford.
