adding new .h and .cc files to the hard code

by Anthony Rosenbaum · in General Discussion · 06/04/2002 (12:26 pm) · 5 replies

This is a very simple question. But I remeber that when you add new file to the code then build it you have to direct the .obj file somewhere. Can some one refresh my memory? What do I do when I want to add a new class, like turrets or something.

hrmm.. I never ran into that one before, I select "Source Files" then click on Project->Add o Project->New, enter my file name in the "File name:" box and select either "C++ Source File" or "C/C++ Header File"

This will add the new file to the project, once compiled it will/should place the obj file in the right place.

You set the obj output location in Project->Settings->General under Intermediate files and Output files. Make sure you have the correct Worksapce highlighted on the left.
