2.4 PROJECT MANAGEMENT
EDE is a complete project environment in which you can cr eate and
maintain project spaces and projects. EDE gives you dir ect access to the
tools and features you need to create an application from your project.
A project space holds a set of projects and must always contain at least one
project. Before you can create a project you have to setup a project space.
All information of a project space is saved in a project space file ( .psp):
• a list of projects in the project space
• history information
Within a project space you can cr eate projects. Projects are bound to a
target! You can create, add or edit files in the project which together form
your application. All information of a project is saved in a project file
(.pjt):
• the
tar get for which the project is created
• a list of the source files in the project
• the options for the compiler
, assembler , linker and debugger
• the default directories for the include files, libraries and executables
• the build options
• history information
When you build your project, EDE handles file dependencies and the
exact sequence of operations required to build your application. When
you push the Build button, EDE generates a makefile, including all
dependencies, and builds your application.
When EDE generates a makefile, long filenames with spaces are
surrounded by double quotes (").
