Step 0:
Checkout codelite sources
svn co https://codelite.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/codelite/trunk codelite
and load the workspace:
codelite/LiteEditor.workspace
Step 1:
Create new plugin using the wizard:
Plugins | Wizards | New CodeLite Plugin Wizard...
Assuming that the codelite sources are under:
/home/eran/codelite/
Wizard 1st page
Plugin Name: set the plugin's name (e.g. MyPlugin)
Description: set a short description (e.g. A plugin that does nothing!)
Wizard 2nd page
Project Path: set the path for the new plugin project file. codelite will generate here the required files + .project file.
THE PATH MUST ALREADY EXIST
In the example above set it to:
/home/eran/codelite/MyPlugin
Select the root path for codelite sources: select the path for codelite sources, in my example it will be:
/home/eran/codelite
Click FINISH and codelite will create a new project which will be added the workspace
Step 2:
Under Linux / Mac, you will need to update the configure script:
1.
Search for this entry in the 'configure' script:
echo "CppCheck\\" >> Makefile
and add your plugin line right after it:
echo "MyPlugin\\" >> Makefile
2.
Search for this entry in the 'configure' script:
echo "Debugger_install\\" >> Makefile
and add the following line:
echo "MyPlugin_install\\" >> Makefile
3.
Search for this entry in the 'configure' script:
echo "Debugger_clean\\" >> Makefile
and add the following line:
echo "MyPlugin_clean\\" >> Makefile
4.
Search for this entry in the 'configure' script:
createPluginMakefile "cppchecker" "CppCheck" "\$(DESTDIR)$plugins_dir/" "../Runtime/plugins"
and add the following line (the first "MyPlugin" is the folder name and is case sensetive):
createPluginMakefile "MyPlugin" "MyPlugin" "\$(DESTDIR)$plugins_dir/" "../Runtime/plugins"
Run configure and build codelite:
./configure && make
For Windows:
Hit F7 and let codelite do the build for you.
You should now have a plugin which does nothing... but you can see it under the main menu:
'Plugins | Manage Plugins...'
from here, the best thing is to open one of the existing plugins and have a look
