[Wxdevide-devs] workspace definition

[M N. <mal...@gm...>]

Hello all,

Here is my first idea for a workspace.

I think we should keep it simple to begin with.

So here is my definition for wxDevIDE_Workspace_file:

A workspace file is simply an xml file, which consists of  a list of
projects.

When wxDevIDE starts there will be a default workspace loaded. It will have
no projects included.

We will use the wxXML class, since one of my main intentions is to use the
wxWidgets libraries as much as possible.

Initially ALL a workspace file will be is a list of projects. Since a
workspace might have several projects, I think we might need to limit it to
having a single executable project. So we would have workspace containing
many libraries but only a single executable. Of course a user may wish to
create a number of executables, and to this end we may need to revisit this.
Or we could have a single workspace containing several workspaces in order
to allow the user to achieve the several executable option. Or we simply
allow the user to select an active project within the workspace and only
allow that project to be debugged/run from the IDE.

I'll see if I can get some code running in the next couple of days.

Any comments?

regards
