Title: use custom makefile
Post by: zkey on January 17, 2006, 11:31:55 pm

Hi,

I'm a new one who decided to give CB a try :)

I have a custom makefile for my wxwidgets project that I want to use. I want to know, how to use that makefile, and disable makefile-generation of CB (if there is any). Everything that I want is to make CB use "make -f mymake.gcc" in my project; don't want (now) to define any libs/includes etc.

Sorry if there already exists a similar topic.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
zkey

Yes, it's hidden somewhere inside the project's build options and/or properties. It says something like "Use custom makefile".

Project->Properties-> Project-Tab : Makefile:  checkbox "This is a custom Makefile"

not really well hidden  :)

Thanks for the answer.

I found that option, typed the name of my makefile and activated the box 'this is a custom makefile', but it seems that it is ignored by CB. Any ideas?

Ah, if you have that, then you must go to the Compiler Settings, Other, and set the build method to "use makefiles".

Just remember to do it AFTER you have checked on "this is a custom makefile", which you already did.

Now it works. Thanks a lot!  :)

It does not work for me. I use current version of codeblocks, but the build method listbox is disabled. Any suggestions? Thanks

I'm having the same problem with C::B v8.02. The Build Method listbox is disabled regardless of compiler, and regardless of the "this is a custom makefile" setting.
