Title: Disable/unload project in workspace
Post by: oBFusCATed on May 26, 2011, 10:58:45 am

Is there a feature, which is similar to the unload project in Visual studio.
I want to skip some projects, when building the whole workspace, but I don't want to remove them from the workspace.
Is this possible or easily implementable?

Sure, just setup (a) virtual target(s) that includes only the targets / projects you need. That's what virtual targets are for. VT's work across projects in a WS, obviously.

But what's wrong with it? :shock:
You can even use scripting to setup the virtual targets for you, e.g. if the targets you want to group have same namings...

Because it is not the same functionality, but something that emulates it.

Also I should have many more targets than needed.

Well - but I would not "unload" it. Rather just introduce a flag "project disabled" and you are done.
I am not exactly sure what you do, but maybe also the platform flag is what you are looking for. Projects/targets in a WS not flagged for the current platform are being skipped.
