C::B Newb - Trying to use C::B for NaCl Development

(1/3) > >>

Kyall:
NaCl is google's sdk for running c++ (with opengl ES 2 support if wanted) in chrome, I've been trying to find an IDE I can use to do this as google doesn't supply one, however google has it's own gnu C and libs etc for building for security reasons the code has to be compiled using these.  I couldn't see where to add a custom compiler to c::b so I've come seeking some help and here's basically what I want to do to get this working, if it's possible, and any one can help me, I'd be thankful.

On c::b build:
1)  Save the project (the cbp, maybe this is saved automagically when I hit build by default in c::b?)
2)  From c::b, as a prebuild step, run an application I've built that generates a Makefile from the cbp of the code blocks project, that generates the make file for all the build targets ( NaCl, Android, or whatever target is genned for the makefile with the proper compiler and that )  - doing this because NaCl build is a bit complicated
3)  Run make on the custom generated make file

Obviously I can use cbp as the IDE, when I generate the make file from the cbp, where I would save the project then run the make file generator and build thing manually.  But I'd feel better if I can set up a build process using the IDE that kicks this off.  

The big thing about this, is that when I've got a project with all of that working, I'll create a template file that I can create NaCl projects on from it.

Why would you want to generate a makefile from the C::B project?
Why don't you set the compiler options inside the C::B project?

If you want to modify a compiler go to Settings -> Compiler -> you compiler -> Other settings ->Advanced options.

Sorry didn't realize there was a Copy button for global compiler settings,

So Settings -> Compiler & Debugger -> Toolchain Executables  And I'll modify those to fit what I need

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I've got that set up and working, but now I'd still like to add something to run an application that goes over the cbp file so that I can generate the nmf file that nacl needs ( it's the nmf file that you embed into the webpage, and it's basically a JSON manifest of the url location of the 32 bit or 64 bit executable )

Also with the advanced option:
$linker $libdirs -o $exe_output $link_objects $link_resobjects $link_options $libs

I want to change each item of  $link_objects to have a prefix/postfix on it so that I can call this twice for 32 and 64 bit. 

$link_objects_x86_64 sort of thing, but that doesn't work... is there an array op for these options?

Because native client generally compiles by compiling both, I can just compile the one platform at a time, if there is a build all platforms I haven't found it yet.

oBFusCATed:
You can use post builds steps for this and there you can also use squirrel scripts.

For the second question I'm not sure I've understood it.
