Hi there,
I've installed the R2 eclipse with the matching CDT extension and just in
the progress of setting up a new source tree. So I created a couple of
dirs, say
/usr/dev/hpp
/usr/dev/hpp/src
/usr/dev/hpp/header
/usr/dev/hpp/cpp_api
For this example source is going to move into the 2nd and 4th line, header
files will be found in the 3rd one. Beneath the 1st one additional
(doc...) dirs will be placed.
Now comes what I'm a little confused about with using eclipse/cdt: How and
where shall I create the necessary make files? E.g I'd like to start first
with a "main.cpp" in the 2nd directory. What must be done in order to
include new files successive? Although I know how and what to do using vi
or emacs I'm becoming very confused with cdt <ggg>. Any "cdt&make" howto
available?
Thanks for any help,
Soeren Gerlach
(PS: Sorry for the empty post, just'd hit the return button too early...;-)

Hi Soeren,
The CDT does not actually create makefiles. Instead we provide an integrated method of using autoconf to handle the
generation of a makefile\configure environment for you. For your situation, you should be able to just:
1. Right-Click on your project and choose Autoconf > Configure
(this does some magic which should eventually result in Makefiles being created)
2. Right-Click on your project and choose Build.
I don't have time right now to verify that I haven't missed a step, but I will first thing in the morning (and explain a
little bit more about the magic that is going on).
Hope that helps...
Jeff.

Hi Soeren,
So using the 20020321 Linux Stable Eclipse Build and the matching CDT driver I tried to mimic what you are trying to do:
Here's what I did (looks like a lot of steps, but I'm just being very explicit).
1. Created an initially Empty Project called hpp.
2. Created 3 sub-directories (src, header, and cpp_api).
3. Created a new file in the hpp/src directory called main.cpp with the following contents:
//main.cpp
#include "iostream.h"
int main()
{
cout << "Hello" << endl;
}
4. Right-Clicked on my project (hpp) and chose "Autoconf > Configure".
5. Watched the Output View until the job was completed (took about 5 seconds).
6. Verified that there are now Makefiles (among other files) now created.
7. Right-Clicked on my project and chose "Build Project".
8. Watched the Output View until the job was completed.
9. Verified that a working executable was created by selecting the hpp/src directory, then going to the Command
Launcher view, and typing "src" (which is the default exectuable name generated).
10. Verified in the Output View that "Hello" was printed out. It was!
Now I wanted to add a header file to my project:
11. I went to the hpp/header directory and created a new file called "main.hpp" with the following contents:
//main.hpp
int doubleIt(int x)
{
return x*2;
}
12. I went to back to main.cpp and changed the content to:
#include "iostream.h"
#include "main.hpp"
int main()
{
cout << "5 doubled is " << doubleIt(5) << endl;
}
13. Now the only tricky part of the whole procedure...To set up the include path properly, I had to open the Makefile.am
that is in the hpp/src directory and change the line "INCLUDE=" to
INCLUDE=-I../header
14. Then I right-clicked on the project and chose "Autoconf > Configure" again.
15. Then I right-clicked on the project and chose "Build Project" again.
16. Then I selected the hpp/src directory and went to the Command Launcher view and typed "src" which resulted in the
following appearing the Output View:
5 doubled is 10
We have a few enhancements that deal with making this process more intuitive. For example:
10336(http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=10336) - Which would give the user an integrated graphical way of
updating Makefile.am files. So in the steps above, you can imagine setting the Include Path graphically.
Also you may be wondering how change the name of the Executable from "src" to something else. Currently you have to
goto the hpp/src/Makefile.am file and replace all occurrences of "src" with your new name. This process will be made
much easier by becoming a simple action once 10336 is implemented.
Hope that helps..and feel free to make any suggestions for how we can improve the experience.
Jeff.

I install CDT but I can't find the document. What package do you install
? Or can you send the document to me ? Thanks.

I dont see this "Autoconf" menu when I right click on my project file.
I would live to have this feature as well since I'm trying to do some
Linux work :-( I'm using Eclipse 3.1.1 with CDT SDK 3.0.2 Am I doing
something wrong?
Thank you
Linda

IIRC there was an autotools plugin that came out of last year's Google
"Summer of Code". It was tailored to doing KDE development, but had
straightforward non-KDE capabilities. I think it wasn't really
completed, undocumented, and its features were hard for me to figure
out. Eventually I gave up on it and haven't checked on its recent
progress. Here's the link - try it out and let the list know how it
works....
