The list of toolchains and their values presented in the project editor
(see The Project Wizard) can be customized through XML. The GPS default
list is contained in toolchains.xml
. You can add your own toolchain
by providing an xml description following the below described structure:
<toolchain_default>
Contains the default names for the different tools used by all toolchains.
The final name used will be toolchain_name-default_name
.
<toolchain name="name">
Defines a toolchain using name "name". This toolchain can override the default values defined in the toolchain_default above.
Each of the above tags can have the following chilren
<gnat_driver>
Defines the gnat driver to use.
<gnat_list>
Defines the gnat list tool to use.
<debugger>
Defines the debugger to use.
<cpp_filt>
Not used by GPS.
<compiler lang="lang">
Defines the compiler to use to compile language "lang"
The toolchain_default values can either be overriden or nullified by just providing the same tab with an empty value in a toolchain definition.
