Passing command line options to compiler

(1/2) > >>

JasperC:
Hello all,

I'm a new to using Code::Blocks, so far I've been using gedit and the command line to compile my programs.  I'd like to move to CB, but I've run into a problem.  I'm running CB 10.05 on Ubuntu 11.04 x32, and my code makes use of ROOT.  To compile, I've been using the following at the Terminal:


--- Code: ---g++ mycode.c `root-config --cflags --libs`
--- End code ---

I'm currently stuck trying to pass that last bit to the compiler when using CB.  I've read this, and under

Project -> Build options... -> [Project name] -> [GNU GCC Compiler] -> Compiler settings -> Other options, and
Project -> Build options... -> [Project name] -> [GNU GCC Compiler] -> Linker settings -> Other linker options

I have added in


--- Code: ---`root-config --cflags --libs`
--- End code ---

However when I build the project, the build log shows that that arguement is not passed to g++.


Project -> Build options... -> [Project name] -> [GNU GCC Compiler] -> Compiler settings -> Other options
does have a "-fexceptions" already added, and that does get passed, so I'm not sure what could be wrong.  Advice would be appreciated, thanks!

The argument between the backticks will be expanded and the result is put into the commandline.
If you turn on full commandline logging ( http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_an_compiler_problem.3F ) , you should be able to see it.

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the reply.  Guess I wasn't that clear in my post, but I have read the FAQ and already turned on full commandline logging.  The problem is the backticks(?) argument does not appear in the commandline, either expanded or unexpanded.

There is already a "-fexceptions" option specified, and I can remove and restore that with the expected result.  My argument seems to be ignored however...

When you run the following on a command line, what is the result?

--- Code: ---root-config --cflags --libs

--- End code ---

I get

--- Code: ----pthread -m32 -I/home/jasper/gate/root_5.28.00e/include -L/home/jasper/gate/root_5.28.00e/lib -lCore -lCint -lRIO -lNet -lHist -lGraf -lGraf3d -lGpad -lTree -lRint -lPostscript -lMatrix -lPhysics -lMathCore -lThread -pthread -lm -ldl -rdynamic

--- End code ---

So I know that part of it should work at least...
