Managed vs Unmanaged vs Autotools vs Makefile vs Empty vs Hello [message #729360] Sun, 25 September 2011 22:30 Go to next message

Hello,

I followed these clicks with Eclipse Inidigo/CDT on linux:

File | New | Project | C++ Project


From here I am presented with these options:
Executable | Empty Project | Cross GCC
Executable | Empty Project | Linux GCC
Executable | Cross Compile Project | Cross GCC
Executable | Hello World C++ Project | Linux GCC
Makefile Project | Empty Project | Cross GCC
Makefile Project | Empty Project | GNU Autotools Toolchain
Makefile Project | Empty Project | Linux GCC
Makefile Project | Hello World C++ Project | Linux GCC
GNU Autotools | Empty Project | GNU Autotools Toolchain
GNU Autotools | Hello World C++ Autotools Project | GNU Autotools Toolchain


Question 1: Where to I tell the CDT that I want to create a C++ executable in which I create c++ code and Eclipse/CDT/whoever just magically takes care of telling the compiler and linker what to do?

Thank you,

Chris

PS: If this helps you answer my question, I do not want to personally create a makefile, Makefile.am, Makefile.in, configure.ac, configure.in, .dsw, .dsp, .vcproj, .sln, etc. However, I would like to produce "debug" and release" builds.

It appears the answer is
Executable | Empty Project | Linux GCC


With the caveat: you must create a "source folder" and place your source in it.

I would love to know where in the docs this is spelled out so I can read that section and all the great details that must be in it. Please tell me if you know where I can find such a section (html/pdf/book/etc).

Thank you, this was very helpful. Using this document I ended up going with an autotools build so I can use my existing setup and not be "confused" by the eclipsed managed builds.
