Integration with QNX Momentics IDE   
Hi to the forum members,

I am developing an Eclipse CDT plug-in that sets some build settings like include and library paths and preprocessor 
definitions. The integration is
based on the assumption that the Eclipse CDT project is managed.

I tried to test this plug-in on QNX Momentics IDE. I use the following
API in the start of the plug-in :

org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.ManagedBuildManager.getBuildInfo
(IProject project)

In QNX Momentics IDE this call returns null, so the plug-in fails to
work.

Should this API work for QNX IDE ? Is there a special API for QNX
Momentics IDE ? In case there is, I'm looking for info about the following
functionality regarding QNX projects:

   Set include path
   Set library path
   Set define
   Set undefine
   Append environment.

Thanks,
Gidi

Re: Integration with QNX Momentics IDE   
Hi, Gidi,

Is the project for which you are requesting the build info a "QNX C/C++"
project or a regular managed-make project?  In the former case, I would
not expect this API to return anything useful, as QNX C/C++ projects are
not managed-make projects.

The Momentics IDE does not publish any API for working with QNX C/C++
projects.  However, it should not interfere with the normal operation of
and API for Eclipse CDT's managed-make projects.  This includes the
provided integration of the QCC toolchain into the managed build system.

HTH,

Christian

Hi Christian,

Many thanks for your prompt reply. I tested my plug-in on "QNX C/C++" projects. If I understand correctly, I should look
 for an API to set the build settings for non-managed-make projects (my current code is fully based on the return value 
from getBuildInfo API, so I guess it is useless for QNX IDE). 

In case you know of an example source code that sets these build settings to a non-managed-make project (preferably for 
a QNX project) I'll be grateful if you could send me a reference for it.

Many thanks,
Gidi

Hi Christian,

I have a question regarding your reply. I understood from your reply that QNX C/C++ projects are not managed-make 
projects. You also mentioned that there is an integration of the QCC toolchain into the managed build system. If QNX C\C
++ are not managed-make projects, what is the meaning of integration of the QCC toolchain into managed build system ?

Thanks,
Gidi

Re: Integration with QNX Momentics IDE   
Hi, Gidi,

In the Momentics IDE, if you create a C/C++ project of the non-QNX
variety, then the default toolchain selection is the QCC compiler
driver.  This applies to all of the basic templates, for managed-make
and for simple makefile projects.

This lets you use QCC to build projects for the Neutrino platform in
projects for which the Eclipse CDT provides API (such as IBuildInfo)
that you can use for your own tooling purposes.  The QCC toolchain
integration provides certain critical indexing functions, such as
discovery of the Neutrino include paths and macro definitions,
environment variables, and possibly more, according to your current
qconfig target selection.

HTH,

Christian

Re: Integration with QNX Momentics IDE   
Hi, Gidi,

Build settings for non-managed projects are, as far as the CDT is
concerned, maintained almost entirely in Makefiles.  There is some
facility for toolchains to inject environment variables, for example,
into the build process, but in general the CDT will have no knowledge of
the steps and outcomes of the build process.

QNX C/C++ projects use an entirely different framework than CDT's
managed build system for the implementation of build settings and
generation/maintenance of the makefile.  In part this is to better
leverage the multi-platform recursive makefile architecture and the QCC
compiler driver.  At this time, there is no API by which tool extenders
may inspect or modify the settings in QNX C/C++ projects.

Cheers,

Christian
