Custom build commands and variables

[Jabber]

Hi all,

I'm trying to add compilation support for a SWIG interface file (generating a Lua wrapper); to do so I added the following line in Options(for the .i file)->Build:

Code

swig -c++ -lua $FILENAME

However, it seems that the variables like $FILENAME don't get substituted, the build log just says

swig -c++ -lua

(that call fails, of course).

I'm using the SVN rev 2218 on Windows XP; it looks like someone had a similiar problem a while back:

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks,

Jabber

AFAIK, only variables in the form $(variable) or ${variable} are expanded.

Hi,

Yep, tried that too, but both versions don't work neither.

Nope, they should be.

Where is that variable defined? If it is in the compiler's scope ( = global) then it does not work, that's a known bug.

Hi,

Under Options(for the file)->Build it says

You can use the following variables:

and then a list of variables like $FILENAME and so on, so I didn't define that variable, but C::B should have

[thomas]

But... $FILENAME is not a valid builtin (unless I am very mistaken).

Which file's name is it supposed to be (probably some header)?


EDIT: Aaaaaah.... now I see what you mean. Hmm... got no quick answer ready for that now, sorry. It appears that you are doing as you should.

[Jabber]

Well, I was just preparing an answer when I saw your edit

Is this a bug then, or can anyone else confirm that it is working for him?

Just as a short follow-up:

This is fixed in the 22.03.06 build at http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=2690.0.
The correct variable is "$file".

A big thank you to the devs!
