| <p> |
| Project references are a powerful way of expressing dependencies between |
| Build configurations in different projects. Specifically they perform 2 roles: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Automatic propagation of <a href="cdt_u_prop_general_exp.htm"><em>Exported Settings</em></a> from one project |
| to another which depends on it</li> |
| <li>Build, if necessary, referenced projects before dependent project</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Unlike the Eclipse Common <a href=cdt_u_prop_ref.htm>References page</a>, |
| this page allows setting references to specific configurations. |
| |
| <p> <strong>Since CDT 7</strong> this functionality has been improved: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Referenced projects are ordered</strong><p> and this order can be changed using the buttons provided. |
| Referenced projects are built in the order listed in the dialog, and the order is used in the build for setting |
| up the Include paths and Library link lines. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Can reference another configuration in the same project</strong><p>It's allowed to reference another configuration |
| in the same project. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <strong>Referenced projects which don't exist in the workspace are shown in gray.</strong> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |

| All configurations are displayed for each project. A check mark indicates the configuration is referenced. |
| Note that only one configuration can be checked in any given project. |
| <br>[Active] configuration presents |
| in each configs list and represents current active configuration. |
| <br> Configurations can reference another configuration in the same project. |
