Using Code::Blocks and Boost build

(1/1)

krats:
Hi,

I am trying to use Code::Blocks on Ubuntu. I already have a few projects that I build with Boost.build and so they have Jamfiles. I was wondering if the following is possible

1. Is there any way I can create Code::Blocks project (.cbp) files from the Jamfiles and Jamroot ? I know I can import projects (and create .cbp files) into Code::Blocks from preexisting VC ++ solution or proj files. Was just wondering if there is any plugin that can do this for Jam files.

2. Is there any way I can change the Code::Blocks build system to accept my Jamfile as a make file and make Codeblocks invoke bjam on the Jamfile whenever I compile from the IDE. I know I could do this from the command line but just thought it would be cool if I could do it directly from the IDE.

Thanks
Karthik

I guess I figured out the answer to the second question. I could set the makefile option as custom and use the bjam command in Project > Build Options > Make commands.
