Subject: [cdt-dev] Concept of a "Solution"

 

Hi,

 

    Is there a concept of a container that allows you to group projects such as

a "Solution" in Visual Studio that can contain several project that are part of a

larger project (hence solution in MS terminology).

[Mikhail] There is no “Solution” concept in eclipse. The only “container” grouping projects in eclipse is a workspace

 

On similar lines, is it possible to specify the build configuration from a

main "Project" menu or the context menu in the projects window?
Currently, we need to go through each project in the workspace and

change them all manually to switch from debug to release builds.

[Mikhail] The CDT/MBS 3.1allows changing the project active configuration both from the project context menu, “Active Build Configuration” sub-menu of the “Project” menu and “Active Configuration” tool-bar. It is also possible to select multiple projects and set active configuration of a given name for all of them in case all the selected projects contain configuration of that name. With the New Project Model we’re going to present the configuration concept CDT-wide, so the same functionality will become not only Managed Build specific, but CDT-wide.

 

Regards,

Mikhail

 

 

Maybe I am missing something here.

 

Thankyou.
