Backticks in Windows Shell/Code::Blocks?

<< < (3/5) > >>

thomas:
If it does not break anything, sure.

takeshimiya:
I'm asking because I'm kind of lost. My 2nd approach was to use `pkg-config --libs` kind of things in Windows. That's why I asked first if backticks was feasible.

If it's not feasible, or another (better) approach can be used (trough global/compiler/project variables, or any other kind), great.
But yet, something like support for backticks will be more user-friendly to users coming from other *nix IDEs (KDevelop/Anjuta/etc), wanting to use his/her cbp in windows.

thomas:
Well you see, backticks are possible (and not hard to implement). But the problem is that they may get executed many times (at least once while the project is loaded and at least twice per build, and every time you open the build options dialog).

You would not want to wait for 20 seconds each time when opening a project or when changing build options just because someone had the brilliant idea to put very-complex-script into backticks, would you? Likewise, you would not want modify-and-delete-files-script to run every time you open a dialog.

mandrav:
Here you go. Revision 1766.
Let us know of your progress :)

takeshimiya:
lol, I'm on Ubuntu 64 from 5 days ago (yes, I finally could get it working on this pc -note: never buy a motherboard with an ati chipset-), and not rebooted the pc in Windows from that day. :)

I couldn't compile C::B on it yet (lot's of AngelScript errors, and it isn't #ifdef'ed...).

Now I'll reboot to that thing called Windows.
I'm going to check out if it's still alive :P
