Working with ACE in Eclipse

The Eclipse CDT C++ development environment can be used to develop ACE applications. You can configure a new CDT project to build ACE using either a local source distribution or checking out ACE from CVS in Eclipse. These are the steps to create the CDT project to build ACE.

To create an Eclipse project for ACE starting from CVS:

  1. In the "CVS Repository Exploring" perspective, navigate to the module containing ACE.
  2. Checkout the module using "Check Out As" and select the "project configured using the New
 Project Wizard" option.
  3. Select "Standard Make C++ Project" for the project type.
  4. Follow the steps outlined above, up to the point of running make, for building ACE on your 
platform. Use "path_to_your_eclipse_workspace"/"project_name" as your $ACE_ROOT.
  5. If you had to regenerate the makefiles using MPC, select the root folder for your poject and
use the import wizard to add them to your project.
  6. Select the root folder for the project and use the "Create Make Target" wizard to setup the
appropriate make command and options.
  7. Select the root folder and run "Build Make Target." This will build ACE.

To create an Eclipse project for ACE from a local source distribution:

  1. Launch the "New Project Wizard" in Eclipse.
  2. Select "Standard Make C++ Project" for the project type.
  3. On the project name page, uncheck the "use default" location option and replace the default
path with the path to your source distribution.
  4. Follow the steps, up to the point of running make, for building ACE on your platform.
  5. If you had to regenerate the makefiles using MPC, select the root folder for your poject and
use the import wizard to add them to your project.
  6. Select the root folder for the project and use the "Create Make Target" wizard to setup the
appropriate make command and options.
  7. Select the root folder and run "Build Make Target." This will build ACE.
