Good morning to everyone,
I am a new happy ChibiOs user.
I have been developed embedded with Eclipse CDT + Gnu Arm Plugin + GCC + Openocd for several years and I always used the internal builder without using makefiles (all compiler and linker options are edited through user interface).
I imported ChibiOs in Eclipse and set the builder to external in order to use its own makefiles but I found out that I personally prefer editing options using the user interface rather then editing each makefiles.
So, my question is: are there any reason to prefer using makefiles than the internal builder?
Thank you.
PS: at the moment I am not going to use ChibiStudio.
Eclipse builder: internal or makefile?

Re: Eclipse builder: internal or makefile?
Hi,
The reason is: Makefiles are modular and centralized, we can change a single .mk file and have all demos updated. Using the internal generator would mean fixing all projects manually, there are hundreds of them even not considering user projects.
Also, our makefiles handle a lot of things, make sure to replicate all the little bits and settings in your setup.
