Title: Cmake generating Code Blocks project file not working
Post by: unludo on February 13, 2012, 05:28:14 pm

Hello,

I am generating a project file with CMake. It generates a makefile which builds a working console application. It also generates a cbp file.

When opening Code Blocks, the project files are present.  But when trying to build or run I run into issues.

Am I supposed to adapt what is generated by cmake?

thank you!

The cmake-created projects should work without tweaking anything in your C::B setup as far as I know.
If not, there might be something wrong with your cmake setup, but this would be beyond the scope of our forum.

You Compiler Toolchain needs setup so it can do CB Makefile project.
This mainly means the make command must be valid.

I don't understand, my cmake conf file is working correctly to produce my executable; it also generates a cbp file but when opening it, the include and library paths, and the list of libraries are not set in CB.

So what appears as smooth under command line does not work with CB?

Do I miss something?

Thank you.

Yes, CMake DOES NOT generate normal CB Project files; instead it generates makefiles and creates an CB project file that uses that makefile.
Therefore, you need to verify the Toolchain is set up right to use a Makefile CB project instead of a normal CB project.
