I think it is quite normal to have more than one binary in a project. However, with Eclipse CDT I don't know how to set up the IDE to get things done.

I know I can create several projects - one per binary. And I know I can set the dependencies per project. However, I cannot regard them as one project in Eclipse. If I'd like to share the code with a version control system (like svn), each developer has to import the projects separately.

What I miss is something like the Solution (sln file) in Visual Studio. Should I create a single project and create the make files by myself?

I haven't tried it out yet, but there is this 'project set' which can be ex- and imported. Is this the solution? Can this be put into version control?

My goal it to put everything under version control, not only subprojects. I cannot imagine that CDT makes only sense for single-binary applications.

How can I work properly?
