Title: Is there a makefile-to-codeblocks project?
Post by: hckr83 on September 04, 2006, 02:33:57 am
Is there a plugin(done, or work in progress) that converts a makefile to a codeblocks project?

In short: no.
If you can make one, it will be welcome.

meh, maybe but I have no experience with codeblocks deving or even XML! so I think its a bit out of reach for now but might try it when I get bored

edit:
oh umm is there like a makefile generator that makes a *nix makefile(doing things like /'s instead of \'s)

I believe a Makefile-To-[Whatever] is really hard to achive - I'd even say impossible. I've seen so many Makefiles in my life and trust me - some of them don't even share a single design element in common.
Anyway: I personally don't find it too hard to "port" a Makefile project to C::B (I have done it many times) as you can usually see the command line that is executed for each compilation step. I note down the settings (defines, includes, libs etc.), then import all files into a new projects and adjust the settings accordingly. Until now this worked very well also for large enterprise applications.
With regards, Morten.

There used to be but this is currently disabled. Search the forum for more information on that topic. RC2 still has this feature.
