first steps, is getting stuff to build (compiler) . i have done this before, I can lookup my modifications to support the compiler again.
You need to put that in the default.conf
Back in my days, this was sufficient for what we were doing. But no debugger support. You could just compile and build "our" application. And CB could recognise compiler errors/warnings.
Last time used was with 6.1.10 compiler version I think
