CCS4 project description file

Hi Everybody,

 

I've just began our new CCS4 project.

Our codebase is a multiplatform code. Each directory is a project, and almost all projects must be compiled by many compilers (gcc, msvc, and now the TI C6000 compiler as well).

Our problem is the name of the project descriptor file (".project") in the project directory. Since we've already used Eclipse for an another platform, the ".project" file already exists, and CCS overwrites it. It's unacceptable.

As a possible solution I made a different directory for the CCS project, and I tried to add the original source files by two different ways, by "Link files to project" and by "Add files to project".

The first method links the files to the project by absolute file path. It doesn't work for us, because if you check out the project from the version control repository to your hard disk to a different location or to a different machine, the absolute file paths don't work.

The second method is very unpractical as well, because it duplicates the source files.

Please help me. :-)

Is there any way to change the name of the ".project" file to for instance ".css4project"? Or is there any way to link files to the project by relative path names?

(A suggestion: if CMake was able to generate CCS projects, it'd be a solution for us, maybe.)
