adding existing files to a KDevelop project

[Oliver Eiden]

Hi Falk !

Yes, I see and have the same problem.

Imagine the following:

You get an interesting kde-application.source and you want to look it to learn
something from it. You don't want to edit it at first, just look at it. It is a
real pleasure to check out C++ programs via kdevelop. It is a great tool. It is
the first IDE for C++ I have seen at all.

Unfortunately the author doesn't use the directory structure kdevelop expects.
Now you normally run into problems, if you want to add several files at once to
the project via the fileselector, if you have created it via the wizard. My
work-around for the moment is to create a second directory and add these files
to the project. Otherwise I get somehting like "file already exist" "Overwrite
?" and if you click yes, the memory used be kdevelop explodes

=> you should be able to define in what directory (at least the directory with
the source-code, what files belong to.

I don't mention the problems with creating makefiles and so on...

Maybe this all is already possible, but didn't manage to succeed.


Have a nice day !

Oliver
