Re: [Anjuta-list] Anjuta for AVR embedded development

["Danail Nedyalkov" <duni bg googlemail com>]

 Hi,
this is my progress so far:
- I've installed the newest Anjuta 2.4.1, because the Fedora 8 version
was still 2.2.3. I've noticed some changes, but no progress on my
problems.
- I've tried to use the "Minimal C Project" - editing the Makefile.am
and configure.ac, but that's really too complex for my purposes and it
seems useless.

Well, I still don't understand which plugin or gnome library is
involved in the autocompletion. I've actually never did another
project with Anjuta - does the IDE auto complete included headers,
which are not part of the current project - e.g. gnome or SDL headers
in /usr/include ? Are this the API's in the Symbols preferences? If
that's the case, then there should be a simple way to insert the avr
headers,too. When I try to add the /usr/avr/include in those
preferences nothing happens.

The idea about the Project View and the "make target" actions can
actually be substituted with some gui buttons - this solves those two
problematic points.
So, the main point - making Anjuta avr-includes-aware - remains the
central problem. I believe, that once it is solved, there will be no
problem of writing a simple plugin with a project template and some
gui entries.
