cbp2make - makefile generation tool

sounds good : target-case

I'm not a user of cbp2make, but I guess less options is better.

Update: (see rev.101)

I implemented both of ideas discussed above, you may try them now.

[+] Default options can be stored in configuration file. Use "cbp2make --config options --default-options "<your_options>"" command to pass some of frequently used options to configuration, they will be applied every time you run cbp2make with this configuration, so the actual command line can be shortened.
[+] Implemented optional build target name casing. Use "--target-case <case>" option to select one of possible casings "keep", "lower" or "upper", default value is "keep".

Update: (see rev.107) an intermediate release

The next [stable] release is not ready yet, but there were few important changes and I thought it would be nice to indicate that the project is alive.

[+] Fixed small ugly bug which made makefiles for individual projects and workspace projects completely different.
[+] Partially rewrote makefile generation for multiple toolchain architecture. Commands for build tools are generated with CB-compatible command templates. It mostly works fine with a couple of exceptions: 1) option switches for includes and defines "/I" "/D" in Windows won't work - they can be configured, but not taken into account (hardcoded "-I" "-D" are still in use); 2) linker requirements for paths, prefixes and extensions of libraries are also managed by old code;
[+] Updated tool chain and build tools configuration interface.

While some features are yet incomplete, I hope nothing is seriously broken.

pacrook:
Tried out rev.107 on a relatively simple project. Works well - thanks for very useful tool.

One small gotcha, if I use a command like `pkg-config --libs someLib` for linking I have to put it (in Codeblocks) under Linker settings; Other linker options.  Then in the generated Makefile it appears under the parameter LDFLAGS (i.e. LDFLAGS = `pkg-config --libs someLib`) which results in a call to g++ along the lines of:

g++  `pkg-config --libs someLib`   somethingA.o   somethingB.o   -o  sometthingExec

This fails due to the linker not finding the pkg-config libraries associated with someLib.

If I manually change the Makefile such that the linking pkg-config command appears instead under LIB (i.e. LIB = `pkg-config --libs someLib`).  Then the resulting g++ linking call is:

g++   somethingA.o   somethingB.o  `pkg-config --libs someLib`  -o  sometthingExec

which works fine.

Not sure if this is something that could easily be fixed?  You could look out for special cases starting with `pkg-config --libs?

Thanks again for a useful tool.
