Bakefile Code::Blocks project output

[NuSkooler]

I am currently using Bakefile (http://www.bakefile.org) for a large multi platform development project. This works great for centralizing projects (XML "Bakefiles") and outputting to MSVS project/solutions, GNU makefiles, etc. On Windows I use MSVS for development & debugging. On Linux, I'd really like to use Code::Blocks. However, re-creating what is already done in ever evolving Bakefiles into Code::Blocks projects is impractical.

In doing a little research on the matter I ran across a an old thread about the subject. Some of the last few posts state a work in progress project, but that was in 2006.

Anyone have news on this? Is the project dropped? Has anyone else looked into it? It seems this would be a great addition to Bakefile AND Code::Blocks. If anyone has any information, I'd love to hear it!

No information / updates on this?

Is there a workaround? I simply need to take our current Bakefiles & output any format Code::Blocks can understand. I've experimented with different options, but no luck

Any tips appreciated!

I don't know anything about Bakefile... but Code::Blocks can import Visual C++ projects (File=>Import Project) did you try that? Although, you'll likely need to fiddle with the compiler settings afterwards. You can also use Makefiles directly in Code::Blocks.

The problem is, I need this for Linux. On Windows, we use Visual Studio. On Linux, we're looking to standardize a tool for developers -- I'd like it to be Code::Blocks, if possible, but it must fit into our build scheme somehow which is currently Bakefile based.

If there is any way to go from Bakefile -> something Code::Blocks supports, it would be perfect. We don't even need to be able to re-save projects -- just read them (that is all done via editing Bakefiles).

Here are the supported output formats of Bakefile (from --help):

Try importing the MSVC (vcproj) file. I think it should work on Linux too.
