Best way to set up project [message #201639] Sun, 25 March 2007 19:03 Go to next message

Hi All

I am just starting to use Eclipse and have a basic diffciulty when setting
up a project using "Managed Make C" option.

I have an existing folder which contains existing libraries, various
application projects, documents and so on. I have used this as a root
directory so that I can use the base code without having to copy it to a
work space file system and keep the base with the Eclipse project
synchronised (as suggested in the help documentation). I am using a
managed make project since I don't know much about the GCC make and don't
want to have to learn this before getting working.

What happens is that the Eclipse project included everything in the
directory (about 10 application projects and libraries for various
processors etc.). If I try removing stuff to leave just what I want for
the actual build it deletes them physically from the hard disk - as it
says in the help documentation.

I tried attempting to trick it by allowing it to delete and then copying
it back to where I want it but the next time I attempt to build it updates
everthing and I am at square one again.

Is there a method of doing what I want (keeping my present code base and
documentation in one location without having to check anything out to
another working directory)?

Thanks

regards

Mark

I think most folks on eclipse.newcomer are Java programmers; I don't see
many C questions getting answered here. You might have more luck asking in
eclipse.tools.cdt.
