Linking many files [message #231858] Sun, 09 September 2007 12:38

Hi:

Long time Visual Studio user trying out Eclipse for C++ on Linux (Ubuntu).

One of the things I like about VS (once I got used to it) is that the
files in Solution Explorer are just links to the actual files. It is
hard to get used to the more "file-centric" nature of Eclipse.

I have a Visual Studio MFC project in which some of the files are MFC
files, and some are pure C++ files which should compile on any compiler
without additional libraries. I would like to compile these pure C++
files using g++ in Eclipse. Unfortunately, both kinds of files are
currently in the same directory.

If I use File->Import then I can easily select the files I want. But in
Eclipse this makes copies. I have learned that by doing File->New->File
I can create links in Eclipse to external files, but it seems that I can
only add one file at a time, which is a real pain.

Is there any way to link many files at the same time as you can do with
import?

[The only way I have been able to think of doing this (without changing
my directory structure) is to link the whole directory, and then remove
the unwanted files from the project.]
