Help? My pre build script fails; but only under CB.

But I thing the way the pre and post-build scripts are executed is broken. In Code::Blocks (it seems) that every line is taken on its own and it is fed to something like exec(). Instead of passing the entire chunk to cmd or <insert configurable tool here>. You end up with the situation that you can't cd into a different directory and execute some command there.

I (was forced to) use Visual Studio (at my paying job) and coming from there I assumed that the post and pre build scripts run in cmd and you can basically copy and past cmd scripts there. Me bad for assuming that.

For me, grouping all the one-liners into a single .cmd file that accepts the CB macros works ok.

For example:

--- Code: ---cmd /c showargs.cmd $(TARGET_OBJECT_DIR)

--- End code ---

with contexts:
echo %0 %1
echo finished

would produce

--- Code: ---Target is up to date.
Running target post-build steps
cmd /c showargs.cmd gcc_mswu\toolbar
C:\Usr\Proj\test\toolbar>echo showargs.cmd gcc_mswu\toolbar
showargs.cmd gcc_mswu\toolbar
C:\Usr\Proj\test\toolbar>echo finished
finished
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings
 


--- End code ---
