I have a project with a file tree that looks like this:
TheProject
Includes
Sources
Option1
Option2
CommonStuff
The "Includes" directory is where all the .h files are (naturally...).
Sources->Option1 and Sources->Option2 contain .c files for one or
another option. Only one or the other is compiled into the
executable, never both.
Sources->CommonStuff contains .c files that are used in both Option1
and Option2.
When I presented all of this to Eclipse, using the means provided for
registering a source file tree that's not part of a project and isn't
kept under CVS, Eclipse registered both Option1 and Option2
directories and the compiler compiled them, and presented me with
eleventy gazillion errors.
So, I right-clicked on Option2 and selected "Exclude from build"; now
Eclipse compiles Option1 and ignores Option2 and all is well.
Except... now if I want to compile Option2 and not Option1, I can't
figure out how to bring Option2 back into the build again.
Also, a related question... When I first established this project
under Eclipse, Eclipse provided me with a "Debug" configuration and a
"Release" configuration. Is there a way to create, say, a "Debug1"
configuration that includes the Option1 directory, and a "Debug2"
configuration that includes the Option2 directory?
Thanks...
(PS: I know there are better ways to arrange things than to have
separate "Option1" and "Option2" directories for different
configurations. This directory structure has been presented to me and
is what I have to work with. I cannot change it.)

Hi again...
The "Exclude from build" menu item should still be available, and you'll find
it's misleadingly named. Rather than just turning excluding the selected files,
it leads to a dialog in which you can control the exclusion, so you can get
back into it and de-exclude what you want.
Furthermore, it should give you a list of configurations and a checkbox for
each one, so you can do exactly what you describe with the configurations
and directories.

Yup, that did it. Thanks, Don. :-)
