Multiple artifacts within a single project [message #195894]

Are multiple artifacts within a single CDT C/C++ project prohibited?

Is it possible (and easy) to have two different source trees within a
single CDT C/C++ project produce two separate artifacts?

For example, within one project, could one subtree produce a.dll and
another subtree produce b.exe? Or, should there be two projects, one for
each artifact?

How about the case when both the shared and static library of a single
project need to be built?

I apologize if these issues have already been discussed, I was unable to
find clear answers to them and thought it was best to ask.

Thank you,
-Jonathan

Hi,

I am just wondering if you ever found a solution to this issue?

You can use different Build Configurations. One for every artifact.

Hi Axel,

Thanks for the reply, I had actually thought that this might be a way to do it, but then assumed that this approach was more of a hack than an intended solution. Or is this the way you are "meant" to achieve this?

Either way can you give me some direction on how to go about setting this up.

For example, if I create a project called test, I will get the usual src directory with the boiler plate hello world program in test.cpp.

If I then add a second source file, say test1.cpp, which also has a main function defined in it this will cause a conflict with the first build configuration.

So I guess my question is, is there a way when creating separate build configs for different artefacts to inform Eclipse which source files should be used for which artefacts.

Apologies if there is an obvious answer to this. Thanks again for your help.

John.

In Project Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Source Location you can define different source folders for every build configuration.
I would suggest a folder structure like this.

myproj
->common
->app1
->app2
