I had a look and it seemed to me as if the generic project pretty much
relies on a single File that exists, e.g. A Makefile. We don't have such a
thing, instead our project layout is like this:


Root/
   A/
   B/
   C/


Where all these are directories, and the A/B/C also are essentially
build-targets.

Can I make this work with ede-generic?

Diez

Hi Diez,

   Sorry for the late reply.

   I suspect that you just need to use ede-cpp-root project type.  It is 
described in the manual.  In that case you would just add something to 
your .emacs file that says exactly where your projects are.

   If you still need to have an autodetect scheme, think about your 
project.  Does it always have a home grown build file, like 
MyBuildFile.py or something?  If so, you can create your own generic 
project type.  In ede/generic.el look at the end for how scons or cmake 
is defined.  Copy one of those, and you'll be ready to go.   Each 
definition is perhaps 12 lines of code, most of it is just declarative 
stuff.

   Generic projects can run into problems if not every directory has a 
build file.  In that case, you probably need the cpp-root project, and 
perhaps some home-grown setup.
