For a class to be derivable, it should be designed with this in mind and I doubt this is the case for most of them.

Because we can't have a console-only executable on linux, which can be used for building cb projects.

This is rather annoying and makes me use the "normal" find dialog more often.

Fix your file mask and you won't get such problems.

I think a more clever way would be to re-factor the build system and compiler plugin so it offers a way to be bundled into a console version. You don't need any UI/other plugin if you want to compile from console.

My file mask is: "*.cpp;*.c;*.h". Something else is wrong - it might be related that I search the whole workspace. It seem to happen only then.
Edit: Concerning: "You don't need any UI/other plugin if you want to compile from console" - maybe you do: the EnvVars plugin.

BTW: What I did in one of my own applications that is similar:
- all classes accessing files are based on non-GUI components (and are also part of a SDK)
- for the UI version of the software I have a gateway class that "connects" low-level stuff to high-level UI events/commands.
- for the non-UI version I use this specific part of the SDK decoupled and wrapped with a command line interface around it.
In a similar fashion the build system could be designed.
Also, for these things I wonder why people don't simply use i.e. the Makefile generator available for Code::Blocks. OK - it won't be scriptable and alike, but would you need it for such special cases?

Because we advertise it as working, try codeblocks --help :)

As far as I know, the filemask is not used in this case, all project/workspace files are used.
The filemask is only used when searching in a given directory.
EDIT:
That's why the possibility to ignore some errors was added in the config-dialog, we might add one to ignore e.g. binary file-errors.
This should be easy to implement. I can do this.

In this case a user should either use cb_share_config to export the envvars or set the needed vars in a shell-script and run C::B from inside it.
