Title: Feature request & Bug Report
Post by: Trikko on February 20, 2006, 08:44:36 pm
I'm setting up nightly codeblocks. I want to make a template project for me to use wxWidgets changing compiler on the fly.

On the project i add a macro WXDIR with c:\dev\lib\wxWidgets-2.6.3 as value.
Then i set $(WXDIR)\include for compiler dir.

For linker it depends on compiler. WxWidgets use a subdir of \lib called f.e. vc_lib dmc_lib wat_lib...
So i set a global compiler var called COMP for each compiler (Digital Mars: COMP = dmc for example).
Then to project linker dir i add $(WXDIR)\lib\$(COMP)_lib and to include dir:

$(WXDIR)\lib\$(COMP)_lib\msw for release
$(WXDIR)\lib\$(COMP)_lib\mswd for debug

But it seems that global compiler vars are not visible from project settings. Could you please make they visible?

(with nightly build i have a bug: every time i start a new project it show me a message box complain about mingw32-g++ and a tmp file. NOTE: i haven't mingw installed on this machine.). Bug log is:

20.33.09: Execution of command 'mingw32-g++.exe -v -E -x c++ C:\DOCUME~1\Andrea\IMPOST~1\Temp\Dum128.tmp' failed (error 2: impossibile trovare il file specificato.)

The italian part means "File not found".

They are. You're not using a global compiler variable. Use this:
Code
$(WXDIR)\lib\$(#COMP)_lib\msw for release
$(WXDIR)\lib\$(#COMP)_lib\mswd for debug

Whops... I mean a variable in "Global Compiler Settings" it's a custom variable of current compiler... if i use $(#comp) it ask me for a global variable, i think it is not active-compiler dependent...

Hmm, just tried that, and it seems that per-compiler customvars are really not honoured per-project. :(

Will look into that tomorrow.

Thanks i think it could be a good feature for my multicompiler wxTemplate. By the way i've just replaced $(WXDIR)\include with $(#WX.include) and similar :)

You might manage to get the job done with scripting, too. Unluckily there is to date no documentation available on this issue, except the information here: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=2078.msg16329#msg16329
