Not much time today, so not many updates.
Added command-line options for batch builds.
--hidden: do not show the C::B window.
--build: build the project/workspace.
--rebuild: clean and then build the project/workspace.
The project/workspace is specified last in the command-line.
This feature is best used with personalities. Because we just want to batch-build a project/workspace, we don't need to load other plugins than the compiler. What a perfect job for a new personality ;).
Small HOWTO:
Launch C::B using the command-line option --personality:
codeblocks.exe --personality="Build"
Uncheck the "Show tips at startup".
Go to "Plugins->Manage plugins" and uncheck all plugins except the compiler.
Close C::B.
A new configuration file named "Build.conf" will be saved in your config folder.
Now, if you want to batch-build a project/workspace, launch C::B with the following command-line:
codeblocks.exe --hidden --build c:\some\where\a\project.cbp
or
codeblocks.exe --hidden --rebuild c:\some\where\a\project.cbp
Now you can start those unattended nightly builds :)
(not quite; no build log is saved yet :P).
Added --target command-line option.
Example:
codeblocks.exe --personality=Build --hidden --rebuild --target="Release" ogre_sample.cbp > build.log
Also revamped the compiler plugin and it's now using a CommandQueue. This has simplified the plugin code a lot.
It seems that the last changes broke the linux-version of the compilergcc-plugin. While trying to compile the recent svn-version I got this error:
compilergcc.cpp: In member function `int CompilerGCC::DoRunQueue()':

make[4]: *** [compilergcc.lo] Error 1
This is the problematic line:
cmd = GetConsoleShell() + _T(" '") + cmd + _T("'");
I assume that it should look like this:
cmd->command = GetConsoleShell() + _T(" '") + cmd->command + _T("'");
shell.Replace(_T("$TITLE"), _T("'") + m_Project->GetTitle() + _T("'"));
Thus I think we should use double quotes (") to enclose the title instead of backticks. This seems to work (at least in my little test).
I just compiled and updated from revision 1425, and then performed the following command from my C::B dir:
output\codeblocks --personality=Build --hidden --build CodeBlocks-NewBuild.cbp | tee build.log
Did I misinterpret the intended meaning of this parameter?
