Description AK

2011-08-03 11:30:06 EDT

Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

I am using ELDK 3.0 as cross toolchain under Ubuntu 8.04. If I try to generate a static library with a Cross Compiler Toolchain the project contains wrong and not changeable paths to local plattform includes instead of cross toolchain includes. Also the gcc archiver is not part of the cross toolchain. Both errors seem to have the same cause. In this case using a Cross Compiler Toolchain is impossible. Seems for me to be a blocking error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. New --> C++ Project
2. Static Library --> Empty project --> Cross GCC
3. Finish
4. Look into project properties in new generated project
5. C/C++ General --> Paths and Symbols --> Includes --> GNU C++
6. See wrong paths like "/usr/include/c++/4.2" which is not changeable

Second issue:
7. project properties --> C/C++ Build --> settings
8. no archiver and no assembler available

Third issue:
9. project properties --> C/C++ Build --> Tool Chain Editor
10. no Cross Archiver available

This was fixed in bug 344009. You can update to a more recent build here:
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cdt-release/

For the includes problems, try the steps in bug 353719 comment 7 .

How do I have to install this Pre-release? If I remember correctly I will not get any further autommatic CDT update if I copy this to my eclipse plugins directory. Is this correct?

Next is off topic but only my humble opinion. Saying "use a pre-Release" does not solve anything. CDT 8 should never have been released with such serious issue. CDT 8.0.0 seems to be an untested alpha release because it was never feature complete. CDT 8.0.0 should be revoked (which is impossible) or fixed in 8.0.1. The latter should come out as soon as possible but not as late as announced for 2011-09-23.

This bug is still not fixed completely by patch for bug 344009.

I followed the instruction found after some investigations on http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/DownloadCDTLatest and installed the new nightly build #133. If I create a crossGCC static library project I am not asked for tools prefix and path to my cross tool chain. I have to go into the project setting and do this after creation. Seems to be an open issue inside project wizard.

A fix has been applied to 8.0.2 (see Bug 353890)

1. New --> C++ Project
2. Static Library --> Cross-compile Project

The prefix and path will now be asked. I'll keep this opened until it's fixed on the master branch (CDT 9).
