Hi Jan,

all answers below of the top of my head and without looking into the code...
so no guarantees:

Hi Mark!

It's good to hear something from the original "source" of the plug- in. I
am currently evaluating whether we are using maven for C projects or
not. I tried your plug-in by using the helloworldexe project and
immediately got a "build failure" ([INFO] NAR: Please specify <Includes>
as part of <Cpp>, <C> or <Fortran> for x86.Windows.gcc.cpp.).

I know I changed the POM to gcc but it should also compile well.

I am afraid changing compilers is not very well tested. It is something that one
should be able to do, as long as the compiler is in the list.


No matter if you can help me with this issue or not, I can tell you some
requirements for my company of which I am not sure if NAR already
supports it or not and which you might implement if the latter is the
case.

sure.


We want to build C project with embedded compilers such as gcc or IAR.
The output could be a intel-hex file, e.g. or other microcontroller
specific formats. We need to specify different compile settings for
release, debug, test and factory-test e.g. That means using cpptest for test and specifying precompiler defines by using the pom configuration, if possible (e.g. USE_UART, USE_DISPLAY etc.). As part of the lifecycle, it would be nice if the "deployment" could mean to upload the binary to
a microcontroller (which would be just a parametrizable call to an
executable).


cross compilation is not standard possible, but should be an option in the future. Having different settings, release, debug has crossed my mind but we never
really got that far. It should be a requirement.
Deploying is done by the standard deploy plugin. One should be able to replace that one by something that calls an executable. I am not sure one can just replace it, some maven specialist may know. In nar there is currently not such a provision, but
maybe there should be.

Maybe, you could give some comments or advises if its already possible
or if it can be achieved by just changing configuration file etc.

Regards
Mark


Thanks,

Jan

Hi

I am the original author of the freehep-nar-plugin. It was made at
SLAC, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center,
when I worked there. In my current job, which terminates on september
15, I hade no time to support this
and the other Native code related plugins.

I am planning to pick things up again middle of september. I would be
interested in your lists of things that
fail to work with NAR, though I can think of a few myself. Any patches
you have created can be applied if
they work fine for NAR.

I plan to build some good test cases, and some better examples so that
things run out of the box.

Let me know

Regards
Mark Donszelmann
