Hi to all! :)
This is second try. I have already posted this question, but couldn't
believe somebody haven't seen this problem before or do not know how to
solve it. :(
- Recently I cam to one specific problem I couldn't find way to solve. I
have huge C++ project which is organized in following fashion:
..
|-- CMakeTmp
|-- bin
|-- doc
| `-- reference
| `-- html
|-- ide
| |-- bcb
| |-- devcxx
| |-- symbian
| |-- vcpp6
| | |-- array0
| | |-- dict0
| | |-- list0
| | |-- rtk_static
| | |-- string0
| | |-- test_core_dict0
| | `-- variant0
| `-- vcpp7
| |-- list0
| |-- rtk_static
| |-- string0
| |-- test_core_dict0
| |-- test_core_file0
| `-- variant0
|-- lib
|-- rtk
|-- scripts
|-- src
| |-- core
| | `-- platform
| | |-- epoc32
| | |-- linux
| | `-- win32
| |-- device
| | |-- linux
| | `-- win32
| |-- gui
| | |-- GD
| | |-- VDAL
| | `-- WMAL
| `-- templates
|-- statcvs
|-- test
| `-- core
`-- uml
Project has few libraries (librtk_core, librtk_gui,
librtk_device_linux, ...), all of them organized as separate projects in
one single Eclipse workspace named "rtk".
My question/problem is: How to force Eclipse to store all projects and
workspace in /ide/eclipse directory? Every time I tried something, I ended
up with .project, .cdtbuild and .cdtproject in top-level directory (ro ot
of my source tree).
Is there some way of doing this easily? - Please help me! :(
Kind regards
Dejan

Dear Mr. Evoy,
I really do not see the problem here. What is the problem if all project
files, and workspace files are in
directory /path/to/myproject/subdir/eclipse ? I can allways say something
like "include directories
are: ../../include:../../third/libpng:../../third/zlib" or "lib directories
are: ../../lib:/home/dejan/lib"). Don't you agree with this? Also,
references to source files are in the same fashion, for "SomeClass.cpp" i
would have reference to "../../src/SomeClass.cpp" file. Maybe those links
in "New -> File" could help, i don't know...
The reason behind this is that in my /ide directory we will have a lot of
different files for different IDEs (codewarrior, visual this, visual that,
Borland this, Borland that, Dev-C++, Eclipse, ...) and having stuff in
top-level directory will make it full with files not directly important for
the whole project...
Kind regards
Dejan

Dejan,
You can call me Sean. I really do not have enough expertise in this area
to engage you in this discussion. The CDT is a plugin to Eclipse. We
create projects via an API and the framework puts files in the root of
the project. I did not work on the Eclipse framework, so I am not the
right person to ask why you cannot control the location of the project
files programmatically. Frankly, I don't even want to hazard a guess.
Maybe the solution is to create your CDT project rooted at the
subdirectory that contains the files that are unique to the CDT. Then,
add linked directories to the source tree you described. Like I said,
this is not something I know a lot about and the broader Eclipse
newsgroups may have tackled similar problems for the JDT.

Hi Dejan and Sean:
I had your problem too. My project has the following file tree:
* myproject
* source
* include
* binaries
* win32
* mingw
* makefiles
* mingw
* projects
* eclipse
* mingw
So, I want my projects to be inside the myproject/projects/eclipse/mingw;
so, I created the work space in that directory (sadly, I must specify an
absolute path: c:/myproject/... ) and I added the subprojects inside that
directory.
In Eclipse, I created folders doing a "link to the file system", linking the
Eclipse folders with my source, binaries, include, makefiles folders (again,
Eclipse does not allow to specify relative paths to do this :( ).
Using standard makefile project, my makefiles can be inside a makefiles file
tree, so I am able to build the binaries using something like:
gcc -c ../../../sources/myproject/core/core.cpp
I would be happy if support for relative paths would be added to the Eclipse
IDE (I dunno if this is Eclipse or CDT related)
Saludos
