#6 Preserving source tree structure in build directory

[Russell Keith-Magee]

I have a c++ project with source files distributed over
a deep directory tree. Some source file names are
duplicated at different locations in the tree (e.g.,
src/dir1/file.cpp, src/dir2/file.cpp)

However, when an objdir is specified for the cc task,
this directory structure is collapsed. As a result,
duplicated object names would be overwritten; ant
prevents this from occurring when it parses the ant file.

Is there a way to preserve source directory structure
in the output directory, or another workaround for this
problem (other than renaming the source files)?

HI

I have the same problem and MSVC solve it by renaming the
output objects in the same directory. I would prefer that
cpp task keep the object tree isomorph to the source tree.

This feature is quite important as MSVC supports it (even
in a different way)
