Hi all,
I just came across what I find a MAJOR hurdle for
CDT Newbies, or people upgrading from earlier versions.
I wanted to create a CDT Standard Make project; looking
for the corresponding project type that used to be there,
I didn't find it so I chose "C Project".
On the page where I can select Project types, I found a
folder "Makefile Project" and below it an item "Hello world
C++ Project". So, no way to create a normal Makefile
Project?
It took a CDT committer (Markus) to tell me that I can
actually select the FOLDER named "Makefile Project"
and it's a valid project type. It might be obvious for
CDT committers and power users, but I don't think that
any newbie would ever find that out by himself.
What about making the folders non-selectable and adding
separate items below them for the normal config? Or,
going with a tree like this:
Managed Build Executable/
+- CDT Executable Project
+ Examples/
Hello World C++ Project
...
Managed Build Shared Library/
+ CDT Shared Library Project
Makefile project/
+ CDT Makefile Project
+ Examples/
Hello World C++ Project
Or, even a tree like this:
*Managed Build/*
+ Executable
+ Shared Library
+ Static Library
+ Empty Project
+ *Examples/*
Hello World C++ Project
Hello World ANSI C Project
*Makefile Project/*
+ CDT Makefile Project
+ *Examples/*
Hello World C++ Project
Where the folders (boldface) are not selectable but just
expandable containers for the subnodes.
Cheers,
