 - wpilibC++Sim, gz_msgs, and frcsim_gazebo_plugins build with CMake
 - removed constexpr for cross platform compatibility
 - msgs generated using .protos as a part of build process
 - some spare and unused cmake/pom files deleted

Building everything requires Maven, and the arm jdk

To build eclipse plugins (also build wpilibc/j)

./gradlew eclipsePlugins //this is what is most often used

other possible targets are "build" or "frcuserprogram"

To build on CMake Projects (gz_msgs, frc_gazebo_plugins, WPILIbC++Sim

//STARTING FROM ALLWPILIB DIRECTORY
$> mkdir build
$> cd build

// on linux
$> cmake .. && make -j4

// on windows
$> ..\configure.bat
$> jom

You can build subprojects of CMake stuff

To find all of them, you can navigate to "build" and type "make " Examples: make WPILibC++Sim make dc_motor make gz_msgs make clean

Note: For the latest version of FRCSim that uses the NI Driverstation, there is a circular dependency between CMake and Gradle projects.

wpilibc++sim depends on hal which is gradle, but eclipse plugins depends on wpilibc++sim which is cmake so if you want everything to work nicely, run: ./gradlew :hal:build mkdir build; cd build //if you haven't already done so cmake .. && make -j4 ./gradlew eclipsePlugins //or whatever else

Other gradle options

./gradlew tasks //list some available tasks

GCC versions

Update arm-toolchain.cmake if the triplet changes (eg using Ubuntu repo arm compiler is arm-linux-gnueabi) or in a non-standard location. Currently it assumes that the compiler is on the path.
