MotoHawk:Blocks:ToolChain Definition Block

Tool Chain Definition

Use this MotoHawk™ block to choose the tool chain for MotoHawk to use (including a custom option) for the compiler build (when CTRL+B is pressed).

Block ID

Tool Chain Definition

Library

MotoHawk_lib/Build

Description

The "Name" is a user-specified name given to the tool chain. It has no bearing on the tool chain chosen, it is for documentation purposes. The "Tool Chain" drop down list contains the tool chains that are available for this target.

The "Custom" tool chain option allows the user to choose an alternate directory with a supported build template. The "Build template" will force MotoHawk to generate build scripts and files for the specified tool chain. Note that a custom tool chain must be compatible with a supported tool chain, otherwise the build will not succeed.

Important: MotoHawk is only tested with the supported compilers given in the drop down list. Use of another compiler through the custom option is at user's risk.
