hi again,
my last post reminded me of another question, but I thought I should keep
it in a separate thread.
If several projects share common source code (ie a header file of
definitions), how do I add that to my workspace without creating a project
for it? Or, as an alternative, how do I have each project that uses it
show it in it's own project space, even though the file isn't in the same
folder? (does that make sense?).
thanks,
nik

ok.
I have three libraries that share a common header file - the header file
has a few definitions and some inline helper funcs that all the
libraries use.
My folder structure is
root -
Common (contains that header)
src for Lib1
src for Lib2
src for Lib3
I have added each Lib as a managed make project, and in the C/C++ I can
see the src for each project, but the common header isn't there. If I
add it myself, it seems I have to add it as a project in its own right,
but I don't want to do that since it's only a header and won't be a lib
etc.
I thought adding a source folder (right click-> New-> Source Folder)
sounded the right thing, but it looks like I can only add folders that
are children of the project folder. Maybe a source folder isn't what I
thought it was (in which case, what is it?).
Ultimately, I want to see the header file in that C/C++ Projects tab so
I can click on it and edit it (I haven't yet seen a way of opening files
in the ide that aren't in the projects list)...
Is that clearer, or still mud like?
thanks,
nik

Sorry for the delay.

Why not ? Just add it as a std make Project with a Makefile
with empty targets :clean and all.
Or by disabling the builder for the project, see the Builder Property
page.

I simply do not see the resitance of putting the common folder
as a project ... albeit a project will no real builders.

oh, of course. Thanks, that makes sense. I'd just assumed every project
had to 'build' something...
many thanks,
