Forum Topic - Quick way to identify how a project was created: (5 Items)
   
Quick way to identify how a project was created  
Hi:

I'm using the 4.5 IDE. I was wondering if there was a quick way of determining what wizard was used for creating a 
project file i.e. was it initially created using the "c++ empty project executable" or "c++ empty makefile".

thanks
robert
RE: Quick way to identify how a project was created  
You mean managed vs makefile?
In project properties managed make has 5 pages in C/C++ Build/Settings.
Makefile project only has 2 pages - no compiler/options stuff.

RE: Quick way to identify how a project was created  
Actually it was more than just managed vs makefile - it was also qnx c++
vs c++. I have some project files that I need to re-create and couldn't
remember the wizard we used. I thought there was something embedded in
the .project file that might identify the wizard used.

By creating a couple of test projects using the different wizards and
the information you provided, I was able to identify the wizard.

Thanks

Re: Quick way to identify how a project was created  
It is not the best way, but you ask...
Open Navigator view, select .project file in your projet of interest, 
double click, scroll editor to bottom and see Nature collection element 
content.
QNX project has to have qnxNature, C++ project has to have ccnature, MBS 
project and new Make project has to have managedBuildNature. To 
distinguish the last two, check if there is make file in the project 
directory. If yes and it is not automatically generated (see content), 
it i Make project, otherwise it is MBS project.

Sorry for this sad story :-)
