Giving some feedback: Why I quit using Codeblocks.

<< < (2/3) > >>

paulvdh:
If you are interested in me generating some debug info I can re-install the C::B 16.xx version which comes with my package manager (Debian Buster). It's a fairly clean install of a new os, but I re-mounted my old /home HDD on the same place.

From memory:
The compiler output window generated all the wrong command line options which were clearly comming from internal settings, even though the "use Makefile" checkbox was Checked.
I got C::B to spit out a "make all" after I revived an old C::B project file from < 2015.
In that project file I saw a reference to an "AVR compiler".
When changing the compiler in the menu to another compiler, C::B could not compile anymore.
(Compiler not found message).
After changing it back to "AVR compiler" It used my makefile again.

Yet another confusion:
When replying to a post, the order of all posts in this tread swap around.

makes sense.... you reply to the last post, not to the first, so you can read it fast. Not everything is confusing ;) sometimes it is also convenience...

I have created a ticket for one point of your critique, that i think is really point.
https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/652/
With the ticket it won't get lost, and if the devs are ok to support it, i will "find" some "time" to implement it, after i have done all the other todos (many related to uC as it seems to be your main purpose)

That is a good idea for a change. I will see what items make sense to me to gray out when using a custom makefile.
I will be looking at only the compiler plugin [project/target] settings as things to gray out or not gray out.

Edit: All of the settings went away that I thought needed grayed out under Project Compiler settings; including some that I thought should not go away. So, I am confused on what to do.

stahta01:
I just realized the problem is in the global compiler settings.

I think the solution should consider have a compiler used only for makefiles.

stahta01: What do you mean?
