Organizing project structures
Project structures in SNiFF+ need not map directly to file system structures. The following figure illustrates this idea.

The file system structure
The left-hand side of the diagram shows an example file system structure. The directory
Root_Directory
contains directories:
filebrowser
,
et3
and
lib
. Each directory corresponds to a SNiFF+ project of the same name. Project
et3
contains the framework for the GUI used by project
filebrowser.
Notice that, in the file system, the
et3
project directory contains three subdirectories:
LOOKS
,
PRINTERS
and
XSERVER
. Each of these subdirectories also corresponds to a SNiFF+ project of the same name.
Finally, the
lib
directory in the file system also corresponds to a SNiFF+ project of the same name.
The SNiFF+ project structure
The right-hand side of the diagram shows how this file system structure is mapped to a SNiFF+ project structure. This structure has been chosen according to the following criteria:
Project
PRINTERS
uses the library target of project
lib.shared
to build its target. As
a result, project
lib.shared
needs to be a subproject of
PRINTERS.shared
.
Project
et3
uses the targets of projects
LOOKS.shared
,
PRINTERS.shared
, and
XSERVER.shared
to build its target. As a result, these three projects need to be subprojects
of
et3.shared
.
Project
filebrowser
uses the targets of project directory
et3.shared
to build its
target. Therefore,
et3.shared
needs to be a subproject of
filebrowser.shared
.
As you can see, the project tree structure that you work with in SNiFF+ need not match the project directory structure on your file system.
