Well yes, this works for exactly one layout, but not for arbitrary layouts...

TDragon:
And takes marginally less time to implement. Plus, if all the files C::B ever sees are in the src subdirectory, that's what GetCommonTopLevelPath() will return, ne?

It will return what it says: the common top-level path for the project.
Example:


devel
    myproject_dir (<-- this will be returned by cbProject::GetCommonTopLevelPath())
        include
            a_file.h
        src
            a_file.cpp
            b_file.cpp
        projects
            codeblocks
                myproject.cbp (<-- this is your project file)
            visualXXX
                myproject.vcproj


And since it's trivial to be added as a macro, I think we will.

mandrav:

--- Quote from: SVN commit log ---Added $PROJECT_TOPDIR macro. Aliases: $PROJECT_TOPDIRECTORY, $PROJECTTOPDIR and $PROJECTTOPDIRECTORY. Returns the project's common top-level path.

Oops, sorry for the confusion, I should have been more specific in my original post. Anyways, you got the idea after a few posts. :lol: I figured there would be some kind of directory relative path code to make it work, like ./ .. ..\ or something like that.. I never learned those codes.

That new addition will be very helpful eventually, when a new release is made.
