compile with autotools

[albertolp]

Im trying to compile using c::b and autotools, but its not going good...

Ive got my in myproject/myproject.cbp, the sources it has to compile are in myproject/src and myproject/test

I went to project properties and check "this is a custom Makefile"


but when i try to compile it says:
make: *** No rule to make target `Debug'.  Stop.
Process terminated with status 2 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

You can do either of the below

1. Change Code::Blocks configuration to match the makefile
2. Change the makefile to match Code::Blocks

I find it easier to change the makefile; but, since you are using the autotools this might not be easy.

What is the correct makefile target to be called for building?

myproject/Makefile build the entire project

I can not help you without getting real answers; I suggest you read about makefile organization; you need to understand what is a makefile target.

the target is all

Rename the CB target to "all" from "release" or "debug"; and the build should work.

Next is fixing the clean command; I have never fixed it without editing the makefile.
(I believe it is possible; I just never did it.)

The rest uses
Project -> Build Options
Tab "Make" Commands
Please record values before making changing
I have never changed theses settings; not sure best way to change them.

If the makefile has no release or debug target, you can just remove the $target from the make-commands (including the clean) command and it should work.
