[fedora-java] Cross-compiling under CDT autotools

[Matt Hoosier]

Hi,

My company is interested in using Eclipse and CDT for embedded Linux
development. In the past, we've used some other IDE's that have built-in
knowledge of autoconf/automake, and by adding plugins to modify the shell
environment just prior to executing the 'configure' and 'make' steps, been
able to fairly easily divert the normal Autotools workflow to instead
consult a cross-compiled sysroot directory for libraries and headers.

I'm not clear on what the best way to do this is in CDT autotools. The code
which spawns 'autoconf', for example, doesn't really consult any extension
points to allow outside plug-ins the ability to customize the environment
variables (say, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, ...) or the path at which the
autoconf binary will be found. Do you have any ideas on a good way to do
this?

Regards,

Matt Hoosier
