Title: compile with autotools
Post by: albertolp on May 07, 2010, 07:47:37 pm: Im trying to compile using c::b and autotools, but its not going good...

Ive got my in myproject/myproject.cbp, the sources it has to compile are in myproject/src and myproject/test

I went to project properties and check "this is a custom Makefile"

but when i try to compile it says:
make: *** No rule to make target `Debug'. Stop.
Process terminated with status 2 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

1. Change Code::Blocks configuration to match the makefile
2. Change the makefile to match Code::Blocks

I find it easier to change the makefile; but, since you are using the autotools this might not be easy.

What is the correct makefile target to be called for building?

Rename the CB target to "all" from "release" or "debug"; and the build should work.

Next is fixing the clean command; I have never fixed it without editing the makefile.
(I believe it is possible; I just never did it.)

The rest uses
Project -> Build Options
Tab "Make" Commands
Please record values before making changing
I have never changed theses settings; not sure best way to change them.
