Hello,
How does the IDE determine the target OS/CPU if none is specified
for a project ?
Apparently, it takes the same OS/CPU combination as the one the
IDE itself was compiled with.
In my opinion, this is wrong. It should see what compiler was selected,
and use the OS/CPU combination that this compiler reports.
Specifically:
- I use the i386/Linux IDE.
- No target OS/CPU has been specified.
- I select the ppcx64 compiler in the Environment options.
- The IDE constructs all paths with units/i386-linux.
- Recompile IDE.
Of course, compilation fails. All goes well for the LCL/IDE
because the makefile detects that it needs x86_64-linux, but
compiling the packages fails, because the IDE constructs all
paths with 386-linux...
The same is true for any other project as well, of course.
I think that this behaviour should be changed to the same
behaviour as used by the makefile: detecting the default
OS/CPU of the used compiler.
Or that at least there should be an option to allow the choice between:
- Always use IDE CPU/OS combination
- Detect compiler CPU/OS and use that.
Opinions, comments ?
Michael.
