How to export a makefile

<< < (3/3)

rickg22:
Why not create a "cbmake" commandline executable (without all the unnecessary code, even wxwidgets) that "makes" a .prj or even a whole .workspace? I think it would be quite useful, our build system has grown quite powerful, with its pre and post-build steps and support for workspaces, that it could rival other make-like tools out there.

Another reason to support this, is that (well maybe it's just me) it seems that the interface kinda slows down during the compilation process. That, and I noticed that the "export makefile" is still greyed out  :lol: it would be wise to remove it from 1.0 if we're not implementing it soon anyway.

What do you think?

Game_Ender:
I think everyone agrees what it would be great if CB was a little more decoupled.  That is really the only way this will get done, the build system has to be rewriten to not depend on wxWidgets then it will be trivial to create a standalone tool like VisualStudio and XCode have to build Code::Blocks project files.  Of course I don't think making the build system not depend on wxWidgets will be trivial.

I'll wait for it. By the moment, I'm using premake to build makefiles premake.sourceforge.net

Have a nice week-end!  :D

The build system doesn't have to be wxWidgets independent. It could just use wxBase :D
