On the other hand it would be nice to support the AD toolchain natively in<br>CMake, i.e. that you can select the AD compiler as your compiler and have<br>CMake generate Makefiles for it.</blockquote><div><br>That's in the pipeline as well. The generation of the project files in interesting for me only to use the debugger. I want to build the software without the IDE using cmake generated makefiles.

We will need to create a Generic-<name_of_ad_compiler>.cmake file, which<br>defines the rules for this compiler.<br>See <a href="http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling">http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling

__EDG__, __EDG_VERSION__, __ECC__ and __ADSP21000__ would be good candidates.<br>What about the versions of this compiler for other architectures ?<br><br>The command line syntax also seems to be not too different from gcc, so it
