How do I set include directories per "sub-project" ?

(1/3) > >>

I have a Makefile for a large project that builds with make and mingw, but I would like to build it with Code::Blocks, so I need to create a C::B project.

I built the project in MinGW console and did a make -k to see everything that went on. Then I grepped every gcc and g++ line to get a list of all files that were being built, and what -I directives they were using.

The project consists of a number of "sub-projects" that have their own include directories supplied to make with -I.

How can I do the same in C::B? That is, set up sub-projects, without only linking to pre-generated .o files, because I want to be able to debug all the sources with stepping.

So far I tried adding all the .c and .cpp files to the .cbp file, and adding all the include directories (<Add directory=...) under the <Compiler> tag.

I can get the project to start building, but I immediately run into errors which I believe are caused by including all the directories at once on the project level, instead of individually per "sub-project". The project probably also needs different compiler directives per "sub-project".

That was the wrong choice!!

Create an CB Project target for each separate sub-make  command.
Then, add the files and options to the target.

I'm not sure I understand. Should I create a number of C::B Projects, each containing the files that were compiled into a particular .o ?

When I have done that, how do I make a project out of those projects?

Do you know what the difference between Global Compiler setting, CB Project setting, and CB Target setting is?

Yes of course.

I don't think the FAQ addresses my problems.

My problem is that if I just add the object files as libraries and point to the .h files, then when I start the debugger, I just get a lot of "unknown" sources that will not show up in code follow (so I can not see the source code of the machine instructions that are being stepped over, because C::B thinks the machine code comes from an unknown source).

So, I would like to make a project that in one way or another includes all the source files, so that C::B debugger will understand what machine code corresponds to what source line in which file.
