<h1>CDT projects</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before you can work in the CDT, you must create a project to store your
|
|
source code, makefiles, binaries, and related files. C/C++ projects are displayed
|
|
in the C/C++ Projects view.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Tip:</b> Nested projects are not supported. Each project must be organized as a
|
|
discrete entity. Project dependencies are supported by allowing a project
|
|
to reference other projects that reside in your workspace. For more information,
|
|
see <a href="../tasks/cdt_t_proj_ref.htm">Selecting referenced projects</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For more information about projects and where they are stored, see:</p>

<h2>Project types</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can create a standard make C or C++ project or a managed make C or C++
|
|
project.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Standard make C or C++ project</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>You need to create a makefile in order to build your project or use an
|
|
existing makefile.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Managed make C or C++ project</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A managed make project generates the makefile for you automatically. In addition, the
|
|
files module.dep and module.mk are created for every project sub-directory.
|
|
These files are required for your managed make projects to build successfully.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Project conversion</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can convert projects from C to C++ (or from C++ to C). If, for
|
|
example, your requirements change and you must convert an existing C project to C++,
|
|
you can do this without recreating the project. The CDT converts your project files and
|
|
resolves any source control issues.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>A few notes about projects</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>When you create a file within a project, a record (local history) of
|
|
every change is created. For more information about local history, see
|
|
<b>Workbench User Guide > Reference > User interface
|
|
information > Development environment > Local history</b>.</li>
|
|
<li>Spaces in projects and filenames can cause problems with some
|
|
tools, such as the make utility or the compiler.</li>
|
|
<li>Be careful when you use only case to distinguish files and projects. UNIX-based
|
|
operating system file names are case sensitive, but Windows filenames are not. Therefore, Hello.c and
|
|
hello.c are separate files in UNIX but overwrite each other in Windows.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
