Exclude files from Source_Dirs in GPS configuration

Exclude files from Source_Dirs in GPS configuration

[Pablo]

Hi.
I have a directory tree with so many files which I address at GPS
configuration file, for instance, as
     for Source_Dirs use (".", "Folder\/**");
but I need to exclude some specific files, how do I do this?

PS.: Sure, I can point to the files that I use "one by one" and
exclude the files from list I don´t want...but it´s not very
elegant...

Maybe this possibility exists, but I would rather avoid it and try to
organize better the folders...

Say your problem is redundant file names, like a "driver.adb", one
version for Linux and one for Windows, and the Linux version is in a
common folder; then I would put each version in a separate folder with
the OS name and explicitly include the folders in the GPS project
according to the OS you want to have an executable for.

Could you say a bit more what you want to obtain with this tactic ?

The GNAT Pro 6.2.1 user's guide says there are "Excluded_Source_Files"
and "Excluded_Source_List_File" attributes that you can use in your
project file. I haven't used them myself and don't know kow long these
attributes have been around.
