Which of my project files should I be 'adding' (recursively)? Everything, or just some of them? Or in other words, why is this question even asked and what is the outcome of it? Should this be with a make clean or make distclean, first, or not, or does it matter? It does seem to default to only hpp and cpp files, so for now I'll just add them.
It doesn't seem to be putting this project in gnote.cbp, because if I start over it still knows about it, and asks me if I want to overwrite it. For later backup purposes where is this project being saved to?
Thank you. I'm new to using and IDE, and I appreciate your help in getting started.
And yes I plan to use the debugger, I hope, as I have to debug this as I go.
Here's what I've got so far:
After File->New->Project...->Empty project, I entered:
Project title: gnote
Folder to create project in: /home/howard/src/gnote/gnote-3.30.0/
Project filename: gnote.cbp <-- used the default here and below
Resulting filename: /home/howard/src/gnote/gnote-3.30.0/gnote/gnote.cbp
Compiler: GNU GCC Compiler
x Create "Debug" configuration: Debug
"Debug" options
Output dir: bin/Debug/
Objects output dir: obj/Debug/
x Create "Release" configuration: Release
"Release" options
Output dir: bin/Release/
Objects output dir: obj/Release
And I did check the Project -> Properties...-> Project settings->Makefile: 'This is a custom Makefile'. Thanks.
My top level src directory before I started with C::B was:
/home/howard/src/gnote/gnote-3.30.0/ $ ls -1p
