subprojects wont compile

[kosh]

Hi,

I just downloaded the cvs about three, four days ago and got around to
compiling/installing it.  It's pretty and nice, all in all, it's pretty
nice.  I have a few things to ask people, see if they know how to do
this, or what I should do instead.

The project I want to compile is called Fusion, it's my game engine
framework, I want to port from the windows sources and use sdl to
replace all the parts where DirectX was used.  Fusion is simply a
collection of static and shared libraries which you link against or make
available to your application.  So basically there are a load of
directories with library source in.

1.	Is it possible to create a "group" project, where it has no target. 
But whose only purpose in life is to compile the subprojects I have
created?  This would mimic workspaces under msvc++ and would eliminate
my call (previously I asked for this) for workspaces to be implemented. 
If this was possible, you'd have workspaces, albeit slightly different,
but not noticably.

Although this isnt really a big issue, since I could just ignore the
base project and put no targets to be compiled, hence nothing would
happen with it anyway and it would just compile the subprojects as-is (I
think that would work anyway, seems to in my head)

2.	I have added one subproject, libfusion, made a target for it of
"Library" left the Prefix as lib and called the Filename fusion.a  Am I
correct in thinking the resulting library would be called libfusion.a?
and be found in the subprojects directory?

3.	With this subproject, I have added one source file, just to start the
compiling off, I can deal with any errors I get from not having all the
source files available, I just want it to work right now.  Fusion.cpp
was added.  Now, to be able to compile this project I have to activate
it right? so I did, then I tried to build it.  It complained about not
having a Makefile.  So I say yes and it tries, but then it says "<insert
error about not having any files>" and bombs out, even though I've added
a source file.  Anyone know about that?

4.	Sometimes my clock screws up and goes to a date in the future, when I
try to distclean, clean project, or compile, it complains and then bombs
out, even when I see make -k being used.  Anyone know about this?

well, I guess if I get those four problems sorted out, I should be ok

thanks all, have a nice weekend, by the sunshine outside my window, I
should be!
