Re: [cdt-dev] Creating a Makefile Project in the new project creation UI
|
I would worry about the perception you give the user with some of the
wordings people have mentioned...
Unspecified Toolchain - This makes it sound like I've done something wrong
and that I need to specify the toolchain. Really though, no changes are
required.
Unsupported Toolchain - This makes it sound like I've done something really
wrong that won't even work! But again, I'm not really supposed to change
anything here.
Something more benign is probably in order... (Custom Toolchain?), or just
be very explicit and say "Makefile based toolchain".
My $0.02 anyway.

"? Unspecified Toolchain ?" is better than "? No Toolchain ?". You may also
consider "? Unsupported Toolchain ?" or "? Unknown Toolchain ?".

When I create a "Makefile Project" using the new UI, the toolchain list
includes the "?No Toolchain ?" option to specify that your makefile is
using a toolchain that does not provide any information to CDT. I
suggested to Mikhail that the entry say "?Unspecified Toolchain ?", since
the user really is using some toolchain, just not one that CDT has any
information on. Mikhail thinks that "?No Toolchain --" is better for
current Standard Make users. I think that "?Unspecified Toolchain ?"
would be better for new users, and they need help more than current
Standard Make users. Can we get some other opinions for "No" vs.
"Unspecified" vs. any other text you would like to propose?
Thanks,
