Title: Custom Makefile build does not produce same output as command line
Post by: mark1977 on January 09, 2013, 10:28:30 pm

Hi ,

I am using cb svn 8455 on Linux.

When I use a custom Makefile, the result of building the project is:

Code

Running command: make -f /home/mark/Codes/CPC3/Makefile Debug
make: *** No rule to make target `CPbnd_mpi.cpp', needed by `CPbnd_mpi.o'. Stop.

This is strange to me, it's almost as if cb is using an olf Makefile. When I copy and paste the above command onto the command line, the make proceeds fine without any errors.

If I go to project properties then I am using a custom makefile: /home/mark/Codes/CPC3/Makefile
and the box underneath is checked.

Why does the build not produce the same result as the command line?

Thanks,

Mark

Are you using the same make executable file?
What is the working folder you are running the command in?
Is Code::Blocks using the same working folder?
Code::Blocks typically defaults to using the same folder holding the project file as the working folder.

I am not sure what it uses for custom makefile projects.

The Makefile: textcontrol should contain just the makefiles name ("Makefile" in your case) and the Execution directory: field for the makefile should contain the path to it (either absolute or relative to the project) in your case "/home/mark/Codes/CPC3/" .

Thanks both for your help.

Jens' solution worked.
