Description nwourms 2009-04-02 15:17:44 UTC
Larger c/c++ projects often have multiple applications/libraries as part of their build and NetBeans doesn't handle this
well. This is not to say that one cannot handle such project requirements in NetBeans. It is possible to do this with
NetBeans through multiple projects with shared source, multiple project configurations within a single project, or with
a custom Makefile. The problem is this is not a very efficient or user-friendly way of handling it. Furthermore, the
project creation wizard has no options for creating such a configuration at the outset, so it can be rather challenging
to create such a simple task. Implementing a single project with multiple sub-targets shouldn't be very difficult. I
propose that NetBeans project support be enhanced to both allow multiple link targets per project configuration
(Debug/Release) and to extend the project creation wizard to handle them.

I could think about "solutions" as a way to go here.
Important for OSS as well.
