Use no compiler and Win batch file

<< < (2/2)

oBFusCATed:
What do you mean by setup a compiler? It doesn't matter, because C::B expects that your script/makefile would do all the building and compiler setup.

"mingw32-make.exe -q -f Makefile Release" could be replaced with something which just exit codes to 0.
It is used to query if there are changes and if there is a reason to run a full build.

gertjan:
I don't intent to start a debate here.

My thought process (as a developer of industrial software products) is that if a user wants to completely stay away from any compiler known to CB, the intuitive step would be to start by selecting 'no compiler'. That does not seem possible.  Secondly, the fact that the custom makefile options have to be used for executing a (non-makefile) script combined with the fact that CB is clearly trying to still execute a make file (using mingw make) results in less than obvious user configuration steps. 
Right now CB does for me what I need it to - my subsequent posts are in the hope someone can use the feedback to perfect an already impressive project.

Cheers
