I have four different projects which deffer only in a header file and icon files.For making a simple change I have to do it in all the projects.
Is there any way to combine these projects? But I want 4 different applications.
you can make multiple taget.
Click on your project name in the navigator.
In the targets section, duplicate your current target.
Now you can make change in this target, like change icon, package name.
For the header file, you can use preprocessor macros to do this
I'm using this to make 5 versions of an application, which differ only with a .h file.

Problem:
I'm working on a modular project where different folders represents different components of the application. I want to identify where I'am easily.
My idea:
I created two scopes for the components folders, and I set different colours to them:
Question:
It would be nice to be able to change the background color of the text editor too and not only the tabs, and project explorer.
Is it possible to do it with any plugin or script?
Is there any other way to identify in which module I'm?
I'm trying to switch to Atom as my programming editor so that I can gain handy features like linting for Perl, JavaScript, etc. However, over the last two decades, I've used a string of editors (UltraEdit, jEdit, BBEdit) that allowed me to add individual files from different folders into projects. My main coding project actually spans several remote SFTP servers and the "folders" in my BBEdit project do not necessarily correspond to any file structure on disk.
I cannot seem to figure out how to set up a project in this manner in Atom (or similar editors such as Brackets). Is there a way to configure Atom and its extensions to produce a result similar to an UltraEdit/jEdit/BBEdit/Komodo project? I thought about creating a new project directory and symlinking to the real files, but that seems like a hack at best.
I belive its File > Open Project or something like that. I personally like Sublime Text 3 but Atom and Sublime are the same.
The best solution I have found so far would be to install opened-files package. By default it persists all files you have opened (even after you close them) until you close atom editor. I don't think it would work well for bigger projects as it lists all the files under one tab in tree view.
If you want to persist open files you might want to use project-manager package. To keep files listed under 'Opened files' tab after you close them (and atom), you need to press bookmark icon next to tab name. Once you add the project it auto-saves file structure when you close atom. To add project to project-manager write project-manager save in command palette. To list all projects from project manager press shift-alt-P.
I have a vb.net project that has 2 exe's that get built as well as the installer. The two exe's share a bunch of common files. I do not want to have two copies of the common files or mess around with having build events that copy things around (if possible).
My method was to create two projects in the same folder and have them point to the files they needed. This appeared to work until I tried to compile both apps at which point I get an error in a file called Application.Designer.vb. It seems that project files create this file in their folder and when I have two solutions in the same folder they conflict.
So my next effort was to create the second project in it's own folder and just add the items as needed. The problem here is that VS2010 doesn't hold a link to a file in a different folder it copies the file to the new project folder.
What is the vs2010 way to get this done?
You were almost there when you created your second project. Rather than adding the files to the second project, you need to link them.
When you add them, VS copies the source file to the current project's directory.
When you link a file, it leaves it in its current location and just adds a reference to the file to your project. This means that you are operating with a single source file instead of multiple copies.
To link a file, choose Add Existing Item... menu item from the Project menu, select the file(s) that you want to link, and then click the dropdown arrow next to the Add button on the file dialog and select Add As Link.
We have class files that are shared this way among a half-dozen projects, including Win Forms, Silverlight, ASP.Net, Services, and PocketPC.
The easiest solution would be to shove all the common stuff into a common project, and simply reference that project from your other two solutions.
Solution A:
Project A
Project C
Solution B:
Project B
Project C
Just my recommendation anyway.
I have two header files with EXACT same name in my project, it seems interface builder is picking the wrong one for "File Owner" dropdown, how can i change it to use the other header file?
Thanks.
Ideally, you should change the name of one of the header files!
Although you can certainly have same-named files in different folders within a project-- and in some cases, such as when you pull in third-party libraries, it'll just happen-- headers that you reference from Interface Builder should be a small subset that are under your control as your UI pieces. You should just rename one of the classes.
(There may be a way to get IB to differentiate, but even if there is, it seems like a fragile setup.)
For some reason, XCode has decided to start copying a huge Prefix.pch.gch file into my application's resources folder when building. This file is not in the Copy Bundle Resources build phase, nor can I find any other project setting that should tell XCode to do this. Has anyone seen this before and know what's going on?
I had a problem with the same symptoms today, it turned out that it was due to one of my objective C files being included in the Copy Bundle Resources files phase of the target (either due to a drag and drop accident, or the xcodeproj file getting corrupted at some point). GCC was then helpfully including the precompiled headers for the prefix header in the target as there is a dependency from the source file.
Doing a Get Info on the source file in question didn't show all the tabs on the file info dialog, even though the file type was set to sourcecode.c.objc.
Removing the file from the project and re-adding it cured the problem.
You could try doing "Show Package Contents" on your xcode project file in the finder, then opening the project.pbxproj file in a text editor (not xcode).
If you search for ".pch" and/or ".gch", you might spot something.
Are there any Copy Files phases?
Is the Prefix.pch.gch file in your project's group tree? The easiest way to check this would be to select the project object, then search for “gch” in the Detail view.
I solved this problem in a different way. Firstly I like to make use of the prefix file so I have lots of includes for standard logging, colours etc.
For every include to the prefix file ensure that each include is only processed once! This can be done by putting:
#ifndef __<Classname>__
#define __<Classname>__
< your original header file here >
#endif
If you select the "Project" item of the "Project menu and then the "Detail" tab view and then select the project in the "Groups & Files" list on the left is the files listed on the right view have a checkbox? and is that checkbox checked? if so then un-check it.
