Ok with the below patch:

No functional change, but we should forward slash in cbp files?

[oBFusCATed]

Doesn't matter, because in cb we don't share projects between oses.

[ollydbg]

I see most cbp files in CB sources (For Windows C::B project) use unix style folder separator.
Maybe, Morten can say some thing on this.

I see another change is:

Code

-				<Option output="..\..\..\devel\libMathPlot" prefix_auto="1" extension_auto="1" />
+				<Option output="../../../devel/MathPlot" prefix_auto="1" extension_auto="1" />

I also see it does not cause any issue.

Doesn't matter, because in cb we don't share projects between oses.

For me it's important that .cbp files uses forward or back slashes indifferently. I have some big projects (and workspaces) that I compile on Linux and Windows : so, it's a nice thing to be able to use exactly the same .cbp file on both OSes.

Well, since Windows is the only OS using backlashes, and the Win32 API functions silently translate forward slashes to backslashes, where's the problem?

[Alpha]

Code::Blocks (newer than 10.05) saves all paths in the .cbp as Unix style (for all OS's).  On Windows, the Unix style paths are converted to Windows style on load (and back to Unix on save).
