Linker settings (newbie question)

(1/1)

ElKooder:
Hi Im running CB from Kubuntu, im trying to add the linker option -lgraph when compiling but I don't know how to do it without creating a project.
I usually work with single cpp files doing exercises and not with projects, how can I do it?

Thx in advance.

ElKooder:
Please a yes or no will do =)

Hi ElKooder,

if you want to compile a single file you could do the following steps:
1. Go to the menu Tools->Configure tools
2. Add a tool:
e.g.
name: mygcc
executable: gcc
parameters: ${ACTIVE_EDITOR_FILENAME} -Wl,-lgraph
3. choose the option: launch tool hidden with standard output redirected
4. Open a simple c/c++ file and execute Tools->mygcc

The build process information is displayed in the logs & others pane in the tab Code::Blocks.

That's it.

Bye,

Mario

ElKooder:
