OpenMake Meister

Configuring the Eclipse C Development Tools (CDT) Integration

 

Following are the steps to configure Eclipse CDT to use Meister as the build engine. It involves setting some C/C++ project settings and creating a single Makefile that contains Meister commands.

 

The benefits of using Meister are that the build performed inside the Eclipse IDE can be ported exactly to an external build such as for continuous integration, nightly or release builds. All the advanced features such as reusability and reporting are also available for all your builds. There is also less manual configuration to use Meister than to code your own Makefiles for such builds.
