Adding a compiler to GPS or a GPR project

["Hibou57 (Yannick Duchêne)" <yannick_duchene@yahoo.fr>]

Hi all of you,

Withins GPS, it is easy to add support for a language syntax, as easy
as it is on most today's editors or IDEs. But I was not able to find
how to associate a compilation command to a file of a given language,
either in GPS or in a GPR project file.

This is not formally required, as this could probably be done manually
most of times, but just that this would be cleaner.

GPS can compile C files in a project (sometimes a few ones may be
required) invoking gcc to produce the corresponding object file in the
object output directory. Is it possible to do the same with let say,
*.rc files (Windows resource files) ?

I had a look at the GPS documentation, and found about the <Language>
root tag for XML configuration files. This allow to define most of
syntactic concerns of a language, but I was not able to find a way to
define a command line to compile a file of a given language with this
kind of configuration files.
