Hello -

I used SN-4.2 in Linux for cross development; since I had a Makefile, the
build took its instructions from that file and created whatever targets were
specified there, as well as running the specified cross-toolset.

I did a limited amount of work also with SN-4.2 in WinNT. The GNU tools
themselves were hosted under 'cygwin', and I started SN from a cygwin
console for them to inherit that environment. (There may be a _much_ more
direct approach I didn't find, but that worked.)

Could you take that approach?

DISCLAIMERS - I haven't put much use on 5.0, I never used the SN building
tools, nor am I doing cross-platform development at the moment.

Regards
 - John Mills

I would really like to use Source Navigator as a cross development
environment for a platform that has the 2.95.2 gnu toolset already available
for Windows 2000.  In general I found that everything worked great except
for a few items.

Actually I found that all I needed to do was modify the mkfilegen.tcl.  It
was set up to automatically add .exe and .a to executables and libraries.  I
removed this and everything works the way I wanted without having to make an
external make file.

environment for a platform that has the 2.95.2 gnu toolset already available
for Windows 2000.  In general I found that everything worked great except

When I choose to use the build option I have to select a target type of
executable or library.  Both automatically assume an extension of .exe or .a
should be added to what I give in the linker options.  Can this be disabled
as a .exe does not make sense on the platform I'm targeting.  This would
also be benificial for the library as I could use this setting to generate a
shared object for the target platform.

I read a bit in the manuals and I wanted to add a build and debug button on
the tool bar rather than being forced to go through the menus, but I
couldn't figure out what script file I needed to add this into.  Thanks!

Robert
