Compiler Plugin: Plan to add compiler for MSys2
stahta01:
OK, I now understand what you mean; so, I will just work on adding the two macros that I seem to need using the MSys2's GCC.
And, I will work on directions to edit the existing "GCC" or "CYGWIN" compiler to use the MSys2's GCC; the changes are NOT that great; so, I can see NOT having the compiler installed by default by the CB Dev installer.

This does sound like the best newbie friendly way to solve the compiler list being so wrong long.
Any, ideas on the short list of compiler to have installed?
These two "null" and "gcc" are needed in the list; but, what others should default to being checked.
And, what is the name to be used to name this list? I feel compiler list is misleading.
CB Toolchain list?

The list should be empty if the autodetector hasn't found a compiler.

Why do you think it should be a list? It should be in a new dialog hidden behind an Add button in just below the selected compiler combo box we have now.

Ah, you thinking a runtime GUI option, I was thinking Windows Installer option to select which ones to install.
But, your method would be better.

Of course it will be a GUI option. We don't want to bundle more than one compiler in the installer.
