Dear boosters,
I thought this might be of interested in this, even if it's Windows-only for now.
I'm happy to announce the first version of "Cross Builder": http://www.torjo.com/cb/
In short, Cross Builder allows you to build C++ projects very easy. In addition to that, it allows you to modify various compiler settings in a simple and straightforward way.
Cross Builder's purpose is to make it as easy as possible for you to build your projects with *any* C++ compiler.
Or, put in other words, *one click*.
Compiler settings apply hierarchically. This is a very powerful mechanism, and once you see it at work, you'll simply love it!
When you modify a setting, you modify it for:
* a HDD directory or file * a configuration (such as "Debug", "Release", etc.) * a compiler (such as "All compilers", "MSVC" (all MS compilers), "VC 7.1", etc)
From then on, this setting will apply to all: * it sub-configurations * its sub-compilers * its HDD sub-directories ...until it's overridden.
Screenshots and possibility to download: http://www.torjo.com/cb/
As a side-node, in the near future, I will also post the source-code for the first version of CB.
Feedback is welcome.
I have been looking for something like this for a long time, and this looks promising. I would (of course) like to see support for more compilers, especially Digital Mars,Borland and Watcom, as these are freely available :) I would also love to see a "project conversion" tool. E.g. Read in a visual studio project, extract the files and settings, and compile with any compiler. Peder
Best, John
