Project Management

• Anjuta IDE Manual

Anjuta has a powerful Project Manager plugin which can open most automake/autoconf-based projects. It might fail on some oddly-configured projects, but as long as the project uses automake/autoconf in a typical way, it should work.

The neat thing is that Anjuta does not store any project information beyond what is already available in the project structure. That is, there is no separate project data maintained by Anjuta and all project processing is done directly within the project structure. This allows a project to be maintained or developed outside Anjuta without any need to convert to or from an Anjuta-specific format. Since technically Anjuta projects are just automake projects, mixed development (with both Anjuta and non-Anjuta users) or switching back and forth between Anjuta and other tools is quite possible without any hindrance.
