Title: adding include paths in makefile project
Post by: kyal on March 30, 2015, 12:12:00 pm

Hi I am new to codeblocks (version 13.12 on Linux Mint 17) and so far I am very happy with it. Much better than Eclipse CDT!

However I have the following immediate problem:

For some reason adding include directories (e.g.  for 3rd party) to "Settings->Compiler->Search Directories" has not effect. The declarations in those includes are never found via the function "Find declaration of ..."

I used a new "console project" which created the project file into my existing c++ project. Because I had my own makefile I checked "This is a custom Makefile" in the project options dialog panel.

I followed many leads/hints in forums but none of them worked. The most promising was a hint about the environment variable PROJECT_EXTERNAL_SOURCE_PATHS in config.make but this file was never included in my project folder and adding it manually didn't affect anything either.

Thanks in advance for any help.

K.

Afaik they only take effect if cb's own build system is used. If you'll use a makefile, you have to modify your makefile for the correct paths.

I see...somewhat problematic in my case... but what you say makes sense, it is what I have been experiencing.
