Have code organised in a more 'traditional' project structure

[dvalters]

i.e. at the minute the makefiles are burried at the bottom of the directory structure, but we could have something like a typical GNU project like:

├── Makefile
├── readme.md
├── requirements.txt
├── bin
├── build
├── docs
├── include
├── src
│   ├── LSDCombobulator.cpp
│   └── LSDFoobarbaz.cpp
└── tests

etc

Yes we absolutely need a structure like this to move all the cpp files into a subdirectory.

Ok just to make sure I understand correctly, we would then have:

• All the executables in the bin directory
• All the hpp files in the include directory
• All the objects in the src directory
• Driver functions: would these go in the src directory too?

[dvalters]

Yep, I mean it is fairly flexible really - but something that is 'top down' rather than the 'bottom up' layout currently. Sometimes people mix hpp and cpp in the src folder and do away with include (maybe simpler). There could be subdirs in the src folder as well for drivers (see the CHILD src folder structure for example.)
