To use CMake with an existing Eclipse project, CMakeLists.txt files need to be added to the project, a toolchain defined (arm-none-eabi-gcc.cmake) and the linker files provided (copied from the auto-linker files). MCUXpresso IDE V11.7.x with its internal toolchain.I’m using the following tools and versions: In order to have CMake working, I need CMake with Make and/or Ninja installed and present in the path. The sources of the project discussed in this article can be found on GitHub. I have freedom of choice: what IDE I want to use with my build system of choice. As ‘icing on the cake’, I get it working with Visual Studio Code. In this article I show how an existing MCUXpresso project can be extended with CMake, so I still can use the Eclipse way of building, but the same time I can use CMake and to build build it with make or ninja. In an earlier article “ Tutorial: Creating Bare-bare Embedded Projects with CMake, with Eclipse included” I showed an approach how to create your own CMake project from scratch. That’s fine in some environments, but as soon more complex things like remote build servers, independent command-line building or just more control over the build process is needed, then the CDT managed build process is not really scalable. It makes porting harder to port from one target platform to another, because different vendors have different plugins, with incompatible settings. But this depends on the build plugins used. Key to this is CMake: I’m keeping the Eclipse CDT features, adding CMake with Make and Ninja to the fix, and have it ‘ruled’ by three different ’emperor’: Eclipse, Visual Studio Code and from a shell console: MCUXpresso SDK CDT project with CMake for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code and Command Line Building OutlineĮclipse CDT managed build projects greatly simplify project handling from a user perspective: create a project, add or remove source files and hit ‘build’, and everything is taken care of. So what if I have an Eclipse project (say MCUXpresso IDE and SDK), and want to build it on a build server, and and I want to use the same time the project with Eclipse IDE and Visual Studio code? In this article I want to rule a project with Eclipse CDT, Visual Studio Code and with building it from the command line for automated builds. You will need to install these tools or use those already installed on your computer.A Triumvirate is or Triarchy is built by three individuals which lead or rule something. VS Code does not include a C/C++ or Fortran compiler or debugger. Support for other languages is supported via extensions. There is basic support for html, css, javascript and typescript out of the baox. VS Code is first and foremost an editor, and relies on command-line tools to do much of the development workflow. Visual Code Studio can be downloaded from the website. For project compilation, consisting of multiple files, the C/C++ Makefile Project extension can be used (and can be adapted for Fortran). The Code Runner extension allows execution of single files. C/C++ support for Visual Studio Code is provided by a Microsoft C/C++ extension to enable cross-platform C and C++ development on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Features include support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring, and embedded Git. Visual Studio Code is a free source-code editor made by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and macOS.
