Looking for Suggestions for creating IDE project(s) from an existing code base
I was wondering if anyone could share their experience or suggestions for setting up a project within IDE 4.5 for an
existing code base. Here are the details:
- Mix of C\C++ code
- About 40 processes and 60 shared libraries. Hierarchy is flat with each project or library in its own folder
- Build is makefile driven and done from the command-line.
- Buildifs is hand-edited
- Build system was based off of QNX 6.2.1 toolchain but has since been heavily customized - still use make, qcc and the
lot but additional shell scripts and meta-data added as a workaround for something.
My immediate goal is to be able to build the existing source-code from within the IDE. I imagine that I would use the
'Makefile' creation wizard. But should there be a project per process/shared library? If so, do process projects have to
'reference' library projects? I've also come across the term 'containers', should I be using those too? Once this is
done, can the project structure be shared by developers?
Sometime down the road, I would like to ditch our current build system and just have the IDE generate and manage all the
build-related meta-data (makefiles, common.mk etc, buildifs, etc). Would it be easy to migrate the above project layout
for this or would I be starting from scratch again with a new project wizard.
Thanks
Robert
