Eclipse CDT - Copy static resource file to bin_dir

Question

So my problem: I have a C++ project in CDT 6.0 on Eclipse 3.5, and I now have a static resource file (a .properties for log4cxx) that needs to be copied to the build folder. This file is accessed at runtime to configure the log4cxx subsystem, and it needs to be available in the same directory as the executable. For example, the Debug/ folder should have Debug/Executable and Debug/config.properties in it.

What I would like is to have CDT automatically copy the file from my src (or a resource) directory to the bin directory at build time. Is there a way to do this without making a custom make target? I'm using an Eclipse managed make project (or whatever the default for C++ executable is nowadays), if that changes how things need to be setup.

Answer 1

Okay... so I figured out that Eclipse was actually running the Executable from the root project folder. I was able to make a config directory under the project and stuff my files in there, so it no longer needs to copy any properties files over from src to the executable directory.
