Hi all, I am involved in a large cross-platform C++ based project. We are
actively looking for alternatives to our "vi-only" approach on Unix
platforms (we are currently using Visual Studio on windows and make on
unix).
It is a fairly large project divided into multiple dynamic libraries and a
main executable, all managed by our own set of makefiles. Due to the
complexity of the build process, we would like to keep it that way but
also to rely on a more consistent and powerfull IDE for editing, code
browsing and debugging.
I having a hard time trying to setup CDT so it has multiple "sub-projects"
(one for each library) with their individual make target (think it as the
visual studio Solution handling my multiple vcproj).
Any insights or experience to share?
Bob

Hi,
You probably don't need separate workspaces, just different projects in
the same workspace for each of the shared libraries that you want to
build plus one for the executable. The exception to this is if the root
directory for any of these projects is a parent directory of any of the
others. Eclipse won't let you have a project defined in a directory
that is contained in another project. At least in the same workspace,
I've never tried multiple workspaces. As long as each on is in a
separate directory tree there is no problem. My main project is a 3
shared libraries plus 4 executables that use those libraries. I use
standard make projects (we have our own in-house build system) and have
them all in the same workspace.
As for hiding files you don't want to see, that depends on which of the
tree views you are using (Navigator or C/C++ Projects). In both cases,
there are filters that you can apply. Just click on the menu icon (the
point down triangle) and select the Filters entry to get a list of
filters you can apply. The C/C++ Projects view's filters have more
options and allow you to create your own filename filters that you can
use to hide file types not covered by the defaults.
Hope that helps.
