Title: What goes in cb_release_type
Post by: Pecan on November 24, 2012, 03:09:19 pm

This window is unsizeable and I cannot reach the button to specify a file.

Also what should go in cb_release_type to get the usual CB developers build?


svn build  rev 8571 (2012-11-15 19:21:16)   gcc 4.3.1 Windows/unicode - 32 bit

I take it back. The window is sizable and I guess the entry for cb_release_type is a "-g" not a file.

Yes, yes - its not nice, we are working on it. We need to make it a bit smarter.

The reason was that one can easily switch between debug (-g) and optimised (-O2) builds by just changing the value of this GCV. Maybe a bit over-done... I'll think about it... :-\ ???

I'm new at this. Maybe look foolish on my part but will not do so. cb_release_type believe that this undefined. Where do I define it? Thanks.

In the global compiler vars (GCV). This window should open for you automatically when you open a project and the GCV is not yet defined. Thats the idea of GCV's: If not defined, ask the user. Once defined just use it. GCV definitions are per-user / per platform / per PC.

Read the WiKi section or the C::B: manual for more information.

Any compiler option you want to set globally to all projects in the C::B workspace(s)/projects  or a space.
