Im sure there is a very simple solution for this.
I have a bunch of .cpp / .h files from a project, say in directory ~/files
On the other hand, I want to create a c++ project using eclipse to work on those files, so I put my workspace on ~/wherever. Then I create a c++ project: ~/wherever/project, and include the source files (located in /~files).
The problem i'm having is that files are now duplicated in ~/wherever/project, and I would like to avoid that, specially so I know which copy of the file to commit.
Is this possible? Im sure it is, but cant get it.
Thanks in advance.
You could try:
creating the project directly above the ~/files (which is not very clean, given the location of the sources in your home dir)
using a linked folder
importing existing sources in your project: details all the options (when your sources are also managed by a VCS like CVS, or when your sources are not managed)
Create a file or folder in your project as per normal (choose File->New->Folder), give it a name, and click on the Advanced button. This reveals a file-choose field where you can browse for the resource you want to "virtually" include in the project. Click Okay and the file/folder you named is now linked outside of the project.

I have been working on a project for a while now (C++), in Visual Studio 2019, but I've suddenly run into several problems that send me in circles between them.
I loaded it one morning, and found that it couldn't load any of the files.
So thinking I must have accidentally moved files or something, I just copied my files again from my Github repository, but then it started having problems with every include file for the headers.
Manager.h is in a different folder in the project, which makes this more confusing to me because if the source files can't open a header file in the same solution, the headers should have problems opening a different header in a different part of the project.
I've tried deleting the project settings and reloading it, but VS won't reload them, and Github desktop is freaking out with any action with the project.
Cloning my repository again and loading that just sends me back to the first problem...
Anyone have any other ideas for what I can do?
Check to see if the files are in the folder present in the error message. If they are that can be a problem with the config files of the project/solution.
Possible solutions:
Since you have the project in the repository, a quick way to solve it would be to delete your local project and clone the repository project. (Or clone it to a different location)
You can try to repace the <Subscriber.h> by "Subscriber.h".
Create a new empty project and add all the project files through the Solution explorer:
right-click on the folder where you want to add the project (I recommend Source for the .cpp and Headers for the .h);
Select Add -> Existing item -> select the files.
I have a makefile C/C++ project which multiple people are working on. I want to use Qt as an IDE because I really like the ease of autocompletion and links to declarations etc. However, it seems that I can't just open a working directly in Qt - I have to import or create a new project.
When creating a new project by importing an existing project, Qt creates several files (I do not want this), and when a new .c file or whatever is created outside Qt it is not shown in Qt.
Does someone have a solution to this?
You have to import your project as you are already doing.
You can ignore the files created by Qt Creator in your .gitignore file. Here's a nice repo for the templates: https://github.com/github/gitignore
Whenever you add a new file, you can add those using Add Existing files... option by right clicking on the project name.
I am very slowly figuring out Code::Blocks and am trying to set it to my liking.
The gentleman that provided the second answer in this post: Organization of files in Code Blocks seems to be able to get C::B to display his header and source files in a single directory in the project tree. This is what his project tree looks like (and how I want mine to look):
However, in my case, anytime I create a header file, C::B displays it in a new directory called 'Headers' (see image below). I should mention that I am keeping the .cpp and .h files together in the same directory when I am creating the files.
I looked all over environment settings, project properties, C::B documentation, online, tried to ask the poster of the link (but i don't have enough reputation to put comments) and I am stuck. Very stuck.
If you know where the setting in C::B which needs to be changed to display the two file types together (like in the link above), I would really appreciate your help.
The Sources and Headers folders that by default appear to contain
respectively the source and header files of a C::B project are virtual
folders that represent the "categories" (header, source) of the files
within.
To disable this virtual organisation of your project:-
Right-click on your project icon in the project workspace
From the pop-menu select Project tree
In the Project tree sub-menu uncheck the item Categorize by file types
I use XCode 5.1 for C++ development. I have existing code which I add to the project by dragging files from Finder. The project shows all necessary .h and .cpp files. But when I click Build Phases->Compile Sources, I only see sources that from the root directory in my source structure. None of the source files from subdirectories appear in the Compile Sources. Why? And how to fix this?
Also, when I try to add the missing .cpp file from Build Phases->Compile Sources by pressing +, XCode does not expand the subdirectories, so I cannot select the missing .cpp files.
This is unbelievable. The only problem was that I was adding folder structure with Create folder references for any added folders option instead of Create groups for any added folders.
But still don't understand what is the difference in terms of recognition of source files.
Other peculiarity is that you should add resource files in opposite way (Create folder references for any added folders). Otherwise the iOS application does not find the files and does not compile.
I would like to have a the following structure of folders:
Myproj\src
Myproj\include
Myproj\lib
Myproj\src should include all sources and project files etc.
EDIT: also, $(projectDir) should equal Myproj\src
The problem is with Myproj\src, when I create a new project in VS2010 a folder named \Myproj is created and in it all sources are placed. How can I break this connection and have my desired structure made?
A TFS friendly solution would be nice.
After you create a project, you can change the folders where certain files are stored. When you right-click the project in solution browser, there will be option for VC++ Directories - Include Directories.
If you add your $(ProjectDir)\src and $(ProjectDir)\include to this field, you will be able to put your files in these places. However, default VS creators, such as "Add Class" will still add your files to Project folder.
As for "lib" - I am guessing you are trying to create a library project. For that, you must find the "General->Output directory", and change it accordingly.
