ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

We are making a project on which 2 or 3 developers work as a team on.
We are using Starteam as our Version Control tool and repository.
The problem is simple : When we create a new subproject and we add files to it, we normally use symlinks so that our code structure is not dependent on Kdevelop, so, when a new developer comes in and get the latest source from the repository, he needs to recreate all symlinks within Kdevelop to be able to build.
What would be the best approach to fix this issue ?

Thanks for any inputs
Stop using Kdevelop. Use text editors and makefiles.
The other option is to bite the bullet and put the Kdevelop project files in version control. That way, you can track changes to your project. Otherwise, someone can trash the project files and you have to recreate them from memory.
DISCLAIMER: I am biased against Kdevelop because it sucks.
but what if I don't want to manually edit my Makefiles each time I add a file or link against a certain lib ?
I liked Kdevelop's automake manager... but since I need a solution to be able to work as a team without being dependent on a certain version control tool, I might still switch.
