Compiling library source files with Code::Blocks
Static29:
hi im new to this forum
im also im new to compiling library source's myself, i usually just ust mingw binary installers, ya know? precompiled library
so how do i do this in codeblocks?
i tried project>add files, then adding all the .cpp's in the library's src folder
and dropping everything from include folder into codeblocks include folder, but that didn't work, i keep getting errors.
another thing i tried is going to compiler options, then going to directory and adding the src folder directory, that also didn't work.

You need to read the library's documentation and follow its instructions for building it from source. If it specifically supports being built from within Code::Blocks (i.e., it includes a .cbp or .workspace file), great! -- but most don't.

hello
i'm pretty new here and i'm having the same problem than Static29. i wanted to build the allegro library and the blender source files but i couldn't find the way to do it with CB.
is there no way to use the makefiles from thoses sources without using a CB project file?
the fact is i wanted to use CB for everything about building sources without ever using a shell command line window. is it really impossible or is there a way to do that?

hello
thanks for the answer but i don't understand anything. i'm sorry. the fact is that everytime i start a new project with personnal files and using precompiled libraries it's always functionning perfectly and i only got error source problems but as long as i want to use others source file it's always a pain and finally i must admit that i never finish anything. i thought that open source was great but everything is made for specific compilers or tools and everytime i want to use my tools it doesn't work.
the cross platform world is really the worst difficult thing to master in computer science.
