Cool :-)
It would be nice if we get this working, but this will be quite some work.
I just had a quick look at your sources, I guess as it is now it is
already
usable for you.
Not yet. I still have to add some information in the project files. For
example I need to had a paragraphe for the assembler, linker and loader.
For a full cmake generator you also need to support ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND() and
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(), i.e. running user defined commands when required and
getting the dependencies right.
The IDE allows to add pre-build and post build command for a project which
can be generated by ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(). But there is not parameters,
dependencies...
The IDE only allow to generate standard applications or libraries. So I
don't think that ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET() can be implemented.
On the other hand it would be nice to support the AD toolchain natively in
CMake, i.e. that you can select the AD compiler as your compiler and have
CMake generate Makefiles for it.
That's in the pipeline as well. The generation of the project files in
interesting for me only to use the debugger. I want to build the software
without the IDE using cmake generated makefiles.
There shouldn't be too much work required to get this working, but you will
need CMake from cvs HEAD.
I am already using the HEAD.
I guess you don't have an OS on your targets ?
Not realy, it's a real time monitor (VDK)
We will need to create a Generic-<name_of_ad_compiler>.cmake file, which
defines the rules for this compiler.
See http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling , you probably only
need
the parts about setting up the toolchain and the toolchain file.
How can these compilers be detected ?
I just had a quick look at the documentation for the cc21k and it seems
__EDG__, __EDG_VERSION__, __ECC__ and __ADSP21000__ would be good
candidates.
What about the versions of this compiler for other architectures ?
The command line syntax also seems to be not too different from gcc, so it
should be not too hard.
The IDE can generate makefiles for gnu make. I'll use that to compare.
Bye
Alex
Thanks
Raph
