Using PDE build, p2 and AdvancedInstaller together

I am building an Eclipse RCP application with the command-line version of PDE build in Eclipse 3.5.1. Then I use AdvancedInstaller to create the installer for the RCP product. I think the context would be similar with InstallShield and similar packagers instead of AdvancedInstaller. If I incorporate p2 provisioning into my build, would ...

Xcode: different build setting options for different configurations. Why?

In my Xcode project, I'm looking at the "Target Info" window, "Build" tab. In the list of compiler settings, for most of my configurations ("Release", "Distribution", and "Ad Hoc"), there's a settings section called "GCC 4.2 - Preprocessing". When I switch to my "Debug" configuration, that section goes away. What can I do to make my "De...

How to build Debug AND Release and still get appropriate error messages?

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Team System 2008 Team Edition. I want to be able to build my project and actually be told about all errors in the build.

Sort Visual Studio build log in "Build Order" style

There is a "Show output from" dropdown list in Visual Studio 2008 "Output" window, which allows viewing build events ordered by thread (Build Order). This is very useful when building big solutions on multi-core machines, as the log entries from those come unsynchronized. Our organization has the automated build process, where solution(...

Electric Cloud / BuildForge: worth the expense?

I just saw a demo of electric cloud and it was very interesting, but it is expensive.

How do I override perl's compilation flags when building modules?

When building a Perl module ExtUtils::MakeMaker uses the flags defined in Config.pm (see perldoc Config) for values such as ccflags and ldflags. How do I override theses values (short of editing the Makefile.PL)? perl Makefile.PL ldflags=<options> does not seem to work. Context: I am trying to compile Term::Readline::Gnu on OS X 10....

Can I and should I use CMake for my setup

The projects I work on are organised into root folders (VOBS) as follows: |--BUILD_FOLDER | |-- BUILD_SCRIPTS | |-- SOME_MORE_CODE | |--COMPONENT_A |--COMPONENT_B Because they are ClearCase VOBS there is no higher level root folder to place a CMakeLists.txt This setup doesn't seem to fit the CMake pattern... Is this a show-stopper t...

Why has nobody created an open source build system for the brain dead?

I want to build a shared library. GNU/Linux is the development and target platform. C is the implementation language. I can't decide how I want to setup the build system and keep flitting around three options each of which have lots of reasons to dislike: hand crafted Makefiles - I've worked this way almost exclusively in the past GNU...

Building Flexbuilder projects in ant

I'm using Flexbuilder as an IDE, and I'm working on automating the process of building my application. In the process of setting up the ant build file, I noticed that there's no way to call the project using the list of dependancies that Flex builder stores - each library or library project has to be added to the flex compiler commands...
