Using SoftBench

Adding Existing Files to a Project

Adding Existing Files to a Project

Once a project is created, you can add files to the project in a number of ways. SoftBench vi Editor and SoftBench XEmacs's "File: Save" and "File: Save As…" menu commands automatically add a file into the project listed in the editor's title bar.

From the main SoftBench window, you can choose "Project: Add File(s) to Project…" (see Figure 2-6). This command allows you to add files individually, or you can add files in groups based on directory and file type. As you select files, SoftBench displays the file names in the "Files Selected" list.

You do not need to add intermediate files, such as .o files and generated C files, explicitly. Add files that you want to build as target files using the "Target: New" menu command.
