Multiple start projects
« on: June 24, 2008, 10:22:07 pm »
Hello,

Is it possible to start multiple projects within code::blocks? i would like to test a client/server application with debugging.

Greetings
Michael

The only way to run more than one target and/or project at a time using a single instance of Code::Blocks is through the Tools menu. You also want debugging, so the best choice is to allow multiple instances of Code::Blocks. Go to Settings, Environment. In General Settings be sure that "Allow only one running instance" is UNCHECKED. Click OK and restart Code::Blocks. Open one project. Open another instance of Code::Blocks. Open the other project. There you go :)

I have a simple question and forgive me if someone has answered it already. I have searched forum and haven't found the answer to this question.

Here how it goes:

I know that I can have multiple projects all opened under workspace. All I have to do is to go to "File > Open...".

My question is, shouldn't be much easier if each .cbp project file could be automatically opened/added under current workspace with a double click on it?

Imagine Firefox Web Browser without multiple tabs. That's the kind of convenience I'm trying to have with Code::Blocks. Why to have multiple instances of Code::Blocks if each Code::Blocks Project file (.cbp) could be opened under the current workspace? And how much memory multiple instances of Code::Blocks can reserve and how much a single usage with multiple projects?

Doesn't sound easier like that? Just to double click on it and you should have it loaded in front of you under workspace.

I hope someone has done it already so I would kindly ask his help and guidance to enable this feature.

Regards,

P.S: I use Fedora 10, Codeblocks 8.02-3 (libs, common-libs, headers and the like), wxGTK-2.8.9-1, and gcc-4.3.2-7

NOTE: Today (10/01/2008) I have checked Code::Blocks under Windows environment and double-clicking on cbp files opens them under "Projects Workspace". The problem to my situation seems to be that the UNIX version of Code::Blocks does not support the same functionalities as on Windows version. Can anyone help me please? Thank you.
