Concept of Project management:

If the program you are developing is a small one and it is going to be run on your computer only, then a single source file will serve the propose. But if the program is a complex one with multiple source files, you need special tools to keep track of your program and its resources. Such a program is no longer called a program. It is called a project.

Many command line tools are available to maintain and manage a project. And each tool is very specific about there operations. Now, I am not going to give you the details of what these tools are used for or what these tools do, because now you don't have to worry about any of them. Anjuta will take care of everything. If you want to do something of your own besides what anjuta does for you (because you think the old good command line options has no match :-)), then nobody will stop you. In fact you will have the added advantage of making your project more flexible and more adaptable (and more dirty too :-)).

But before you jump and start editing all those makefiles, keep in mind the files that Anjuta manages. These files are all overwritten.

Those, who are not dare devils, can just relax and let Anjuta do all (eh.. most) of the stuffs.

Following are the operations performed on a project:

  1. Creating a new project with Application widzard.
  2. Loading and saving a project.
  3. Adding and removing files.
  4. Getting project information.
  5. Managing project files.
  6. Compiling, building and executing project.
