[cdt-dev] Can't add boolean option to my project type
|
Hi
all,
I am trying to
define my own cross development project type for cdt, and I need to specify some
additional compiler options. Although I try to follow the Managed Build System Extensibility Document I run into a
number of problems:
Here is a snippet
from my plugin.xml:
=============================
<tool
superClass="cdt.managedbuild.tool.gnu.c.compiler.cygwin.exe.debug"
id="de.siemens.rmos.crossdevel.rmosemu.debug.tools.compiler"
command="/usr/local/bin/i586-rmos-elf-gcc" sources="c,C,cc,CC" outputs="o"
headerExtensions="h,H" name="GCC C Compiler" outputFlag="-o"
natureFilter="both">
<option
defaultValue="true"
isAbstract="false"
valueType="boolean"
category=""
name="No COMMON
entries"
id="de.siemens.rmos.crossdevel.compiler.option.misc.nocommon"/>
</tool>
==============================
Note that I try to
assign the newly defined option to the gnu.c.compiler.category.other category.
When I create a new project which uses this tool definition I
get
Managed Build system
manifest file error: Unable to resolve the category identifier
gnu.c.compiler.category.other in the option
de.siemens.rmos.crossdevel.compiler.option.misc.nocommon.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.internal.core.Tool.getOptions(Tool.java:707)
at
org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.internal.core.Tool.getOptions(Tool.java:692)
...
Why is
this?
I tried different
approaches:
1) I define a new
category inside my compiler tool. The new project is created o.k. but when I go
to project properties and the settings of the compiler I get to see _only_ my
newly created category, all the other option categories (and options) that were
inherited from cdt.managedbuild.tool.gnu.c.compiler.cygwin.exe.debug are gone!
This happens regardless of whether I set the new category's owner to
a) The tool
instance itself
(de.siemens.rmos.crossdevel.rmosemu.debug.tools.compiler)
b) The
category gnu.c.compiler.category.other inside the parent compiler tool where I
want the option to become visible. In this case, again, I get the "unable to
resolve" complaint.
c) The parent
compiler tool cdt.managedbuild.tool.gnu.c.compiler itself. Again, unable to
resolve.
2) I try to inherit
from an existing option by setting superclass e.g. to
gnu.c.compiler.option.misc.verbose which helps in that I now have my new option
visible. But now the original "verbose" option is gone.
Can anybody help me
out?
Tnx a
lot
Norbert
