Hello,
Code::Blocks is looking super awesome. However, I've run into a snag. I've been working on a large project using emacs and make. I made a new project in Code::Blocks and would like to "import files" into it... but I can't link things up right. I've tried modifying the cbp file:
<Compiler>
<Add option="-Wall" />
<Add directory="/localdisk/lmendel/working/src" />
</Compiler>
as well as creating symbolic links to /localdisk/lmendel/working/src in my codeblock project directory.
I've skimmed every page in the manual.
Questions:
should I create a certain kind of project with the wizard? (none seemd to fit the bill, but there were many options and I found them confusing)
is there some way to view the files in the project through codeblocks? like Eclipse's package explorer?
I apologize if these are dumb questions. I've been searching the wiki, the faq, the forums and the manual to get a sense for how to use the IDE, but a little bit of guidance in getting started would be great.
Thanks,
Lucy.
Press the right mouse button on the project in the projectview and select "add files recursively..." to add files to a project.

I've tried that. One problem is that when I select a folder in the file browser it keeps trying to open it... whereas I want to select that folder as the destination.
Another problem is that when I enter the name of the folder I want to import (recursively), nothing happens. I've checked that the path is right (in fact it autocompletes as I type).
Again, I wonder if there is some kind of "folder explorer" view --- is that what the projects tab is under Management? Is there some way to browse the cpp and hpp files in my project without having to use File->Open File...?
Thanks.
Also, does import copy the files into my project folder? Does it use a symbolic link? Should I see anything when I 'ls' in the same directory as the .cbp file other than the cbp and layout files?
