how to add custom tool chain to eclipse CDT

Question

I have got a custom tool chain based on gnu arm. I have downloaded eclipse IDE with CDT. I would like to know how to add my tool chain with the eclipse. It has got a generic tool chain namely Linux GCC. Apart from that there is nothing. I would like to add mine. I am not finding any set up window that helps me in that. Thank you.

I'm sure this is far too late for you now but I thought I'd point anyone else in the direction of the Managed Build System Extensibility Document.

There is a tutorial in that page that guides you through the steps involved in creating a basic toolchain. It certainly gave me a basic understanding of how toolchains are structured in Eclipse.

For more advanced queries you may want to try the CDT Forum.

I hope this is of some help to someone.
