copy and import a stellaris project?

Hello,

I copied a "Stellaris" project called "enet_lwip" to a new one called "client_lwip". I tried to 'import' it inte CCS but it did not recoqnize it as a project. Can anyone advise me how or were to look on how to do this? I guess it should be possible to copy a project, rename it and import it into a workspace.

thanks in advance,

 

k.rgds., Laurent

 

 

 

  • Laurent,

    It is a two-step process.

    First create a copy of the project from within CCS:

    • right-click on the project and select Copy
    • right-click on the C/C++ Projects view and select Paste
    • specify a different Name and Location. 

    Then switch workspace and import the copied project to it, browsing to its location in the drive.

    Keep in mind the following details:

    • If the project contains linked files, they will still be referenced to their original locations - i.e., any changes to a specific source file will also be reflected in the other project. If you want to keep the files independent you will have to manually create a copy of the original source file and either Add or Link it to the project. All Stellarisware projects have linked files.
    • When creating a copy of the project it is a good idea to keep it in the same parent directory as the original to avoid breaking relative paths. All Stellarisware projects should be left in their original locations anyways.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
