HELP: Codeblocks for Nanodesktop for Linux

[pegasus2000]

I have a trouble. I was working on a version of Nanodesktop for PSP
that can work on Linux Ubuntu.

The IDE that we have choosen is Code::Blocks.

So the trouble is this.

It is necessary that the system compiles the various .c files
that are in a project, and after it must call a custom makefile
that executes the necessary operations.

I've tried with a custom makefile, but, when I go in the Options
of the Compiler set, in order to set the option Use Makefiles,
the listbox is inhibited and the only option that I can choose
is "Invoke compiler directly" (this option is gray).

You can help me please?

Searching the forum for "custom makefile" shows several threads with similar problems.

This is one of them: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,8678.0.html.

If I understood right you want the .c files to be compiled and the makefile called afterwards ?

If that's right you can try to call it as "Post-build step" after compiling the files from within C::B.

Yes, you are right.

I've partially solved the trouble in this way: a file .mak that is called as post-build step.
The trouble now is another.

Please, see this code (it is a MakeFile for Windows Cygwin):

I cannot do working this piece of code.

If seems that symbols as $(OBJ) or $(LIBS) don't work. Do you have some ideas ?
Perhaps are the name of the symbols different ?

[pegasus2000]

There is an update.

I have seen two troubles in the behaviour of Code::Blocks.

a) When the system begins to execute the post-build steps, the echo of the consolle is
disabled, so I cannot see what is the full command line that the system tries to
execute. The trouble remains also if I attempt to set on the option "Full command
line" in Settings/Compiler and debugging/Other options/Compiler logging

b) There is no way to pass to my script (the file .mak that I recall as post-build step)
the list of dirs where the linker must look for the libraries (under Dev-C++, this is
a variable that can be referenced as $(LIBS)). Under Code::Blocks $(LIBS) doesn't
work. I have tried using $libdirs but without result.

Any solution for me ?
