Disable certain compiler access

(1/3) > >>

Conan Kudo:
Alright, I have a controlled development circle where we only use GCC and VC2003 toolkit... My question is, how do I disable access to all the other available compilers? I just want them to only be able to configure GCC and VC2003 toolkit...

tiwag:
you can't - but the don't hurt - let them be in the list and don't select them.

thomas:
If you absolutely want to do that, then you can modify the compiler plugin. Remove everything associated with other compilers and recompile.
However, do not ask for help and guidance on such an endeavour because you will get none, this is outright silly...

You cannot prevent people from using another compiler if they really want to, except if you force them to work on a thin client without internet access.
In every other case, they can always download a Zip file from the internet. They can just unpack a full version of Code::Blocks (or any other IDE) and any compiler they wish.
Maybe you can prevent them from installing Visual Studio by not granting them admin privilegues, but Code::Blocks will install and run without admin privilegues just fine.

takeshimiya:
The only situation where this would make sense it's in a "not confuse the newbie".

On the other hand, you could wait for the "compiler settings travel to xml" feature (coming soon?), which will make almost as easy to add/edit/remove any compiler as easy as it's now with the lexers.

How soon I wonder?
