Thoughts on the build process #2

Open 5cript opened 5 years ago

Forked issue off of #1 to put stuff about the build process here.

Here be examples! I trust you can do all the option stuff much better than i can, just want to show what i meant in forms. All of the below can also be done with wizards and good defaults! But sometimes, as I need to, building in msys2_32bit and msys2_64bit while having VC++ and C++ Builder installed, stuffing **** into my environment variables make this necessary.

My Env. Var Window: grafik (Sorry if I could've used nanas capabilities better here ;))

My tooling options, to name the executables that can be found in PATH used for building: grafik

My GDB Settings grafik

And last but not least my project-target options. (A target = a combination of tooling and environment) (I can also imagine a much better UI design here, but it served the purpose so i could get on and build my projects etc) grafik

The entire Environment thing can be optional for the user. But I argue that it cannot be optional for the IDE to implement. Running the IDE from a specially set up terminal to inherit the environment may not be sufficient or can be annoying.
