Multiple drive problem

[heilpern]

I am porting an existing project from the Microsoft Visual Studio environment to CodeBlocks/MinGW, and having a problem getting the build.

My project uses files from two mapped drives, call them X: and Y:, and the project itself is on the X: drive. My sources that live on the X: drive compile fine and the .o's are placed in the .objs/relative/path location. My files that live on the Y: drive can't compile because the location CodeBlocks wants to place the .o's is invalid -- it wants to put them in .objs/Y:/relative/path, and the colon in there is a problem.

Short of moving files around (which would be a problem within my organization) any suggestions? I'm thinking one option is to export a Makefile and edit that by hand, but I'd prefer not to just yet. I've noticed that if I choose properties of a source file, the advanced tab has a line edit for the object, but this box isn't editable. In my example, it appears as Y:/relative/path/file.o, so clearly it gets the .objs/ portion prepended prior to use... if I could edit the value shown (perhaps there's a setting to enable that?) then I should be able to compile.

I'm using 1.0rc2 of CodeBlocks.

Thanks much...

You could make two targets one for the X: drive and one for Y:........

This doesn't help you for now but:

seems to describe exactly the problem you explain here.

Or an option to turn of the relative path's in the objs directory, so it just works again with a flat level of objects. This relative path's might be a problem for certain linkers, I am not sure yet, but it might be problematic for the ti linker (I still have to continue my activation of the ti compiler/linker inside CB).
