Point permanently to Allegro libs/headers

[rszlom]

Hi guys, I'm using the Allegro game library with CodeBlocks and whenever I create a new project I have to link manually to the allegro libraries and headers via Project -> Build Options. Is there a way of setting the path to those libs/headers permanently for all future projects, so I won't have to link to them every time I create a new project ??

thx in advance

The preferred way is using "global variables" Edit1: "in the project settings. (creating a custom template is likely a useful idea.)"

Common used GV are

The way that IS NOT RECOMMENDED is global compiler settings (global environment).

Reason: Because sometime in the future you are likely to complain that CB always uses these setting for project you did not what to use them.

Either do it globally in "Setup -> Compiler" (not recommended).

Better is to create a stub-project with the settings you need and save it as template ("File -> Save project as template") and use it the next time with "File -> New -> From template".
