Version: 3.2.0 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "b" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.14-athlon-preempt There appears to be no way to import additional C++ or header files into an existing project. I am trying to create a new project due to problems with Kdevelop working with a Kdevelop 2 project and would like to just import all the .cpp and .h files into the new project. I should be able to just drag and drop the files into the file selector, file tree, or file list but that does not work. Besides that, I tried just copying the files into the src subdirectory but there appears to be no way to get the project to recognize the new files. This seems to be a very serious limitation and I find it difficult to believe there is no simple method of importing external files. I do not want to import the whole project since that appears to be totally broken in my case.
and what type of build system are you working with?
Did you read the FAQ? Did you read the user manual? Thousands of persons use this software every day. Do you really think that there could be a bug that would not allow you to add files ?
As a matter of fact I did search the user manual and FAQ for importing files and could not find anything relevant. What I did was create a new basic C++ project. I do not want to import an existing directory, since it just uses the old existing directory. I want to basically just be able to drag and drop C++ files into the project source directory. There appears to be no way to do this. The reason I am trying to do this is that I had nothing but trouble trying to import an old KDevelop project from several years ago into KDevelop 3.2. Since it wasn't a big project I decided to start over, which I figured would be easier. The old project was basically some fairly generic command-line C++ code in a couple dozen files. I figured by starting over I could add proper version control with subversion and a modern version of autoconf. I finally managed to get the files "imported" but to do this I basically had to create a new file with the same name then copy the original file over it. Otherwise I could find no way to get kdevelop to import the new file. And yes, I do think there really is a bug. Now it may be a usability or documentation issue, but there should be a menu option to import a specific file and copy it into the project or else allow me to drag and drop files from elsewhere into the directory tree and add them to a project. -Aaron Amilcar do Carmo Lucas wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
For the build system I am running on SuSE Linux 9.2. I created a new simple C++ project to use with subversion and autoconf. I wanted to basically copy a number of C++ and header files from a very old project into the src subdirectory of the new project.
Did you read this http://www.kdevelop.org/mediawiki/index.php/FAQ#How_to_add_existing_files_to_a_project.3F Do you still have any questions after reading it ?
then this would be a thing that is missing from our autotools support if i understand you correctly.
I must admit I did not see this section. I had not thought to go into automake for this. I still feel that it should just be possible to drag and drop files into the proper location and/or add a menu option to add existing files. -Aaron Amilcar do Carmo Lucas wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
No matt, AFAIK whe can import directories with a makefile.am But I've never tested it. Drag and drop support was removed by teatime AFAIK. I'll change the title of this BR
