You need to make the distinction between the different styles of build: 1) Command line makefile 2) IDE invoked internal build 3) IDE invoked external makefile VC supports all three of these usage patterns for its native compiler. However, if you want to use a cross-compiler then only options 1 and 3 are available. We use a combination of 1 and 3. We are now using Eclipse as our IDE and have this setup to invoke external makefiles, and Eclipse can read and parse the output from this build, so you can use the error navigation support to jumps to problems. VC does support parsing of externally invoked tools, but you have to fit in with how it expects the error messages to be formatted, this is how we used to integrate Lint into our VC IDE. - TrevK _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
