Title: How to include "config.h" defines?
Post by: visir on January 15, 2018, 09:42:56 am

Hello. I have a "config.h" file, generated by a "configure" script. I want codeblocks to highlight the code according to #defines in it.

I don't use codeblocks to actually build anything, I use it for the debugger. I have set it to "this is a custom makefile", and makefile is set to "NOTHING", so that I don't accidentally break anything by pressing "compile". The side effect of it is that I can't set my custom #defines anymore.

The program I'm studying right now is ffmpeg.

the define highlighting in codeblocks is really rudimentary, and i think it only works as a per file basis (but i am not sure about this)

What is the format of codeblocks #defines?

#define CONFIG_AVDEVICE 1

#define CONFIG_AVDEVICE=1

#define CONFIG_AVDEVICE="1"

CONFIG_AVDEVICE=1

#define CONFIG_AVDEVICE=1

#define CONFIG_AVDEVICE="1"

CONFIG_AVDEVICE=1

Edit: Inside the CB GUI it is "CONFIG_AVDEVICE=1" without the double quotes.

#define seems to have worked too. Really glad for that, I just copypasted everything as is.
