Title: compile multiple files from different location into one folder
Post by: shenc on February 02, 2017, 05:15:40 pm

I have a project with multiple files from different locations.  I add them to this project.  I want to build those object files into one folder called ./obj and link them.
Say I have those files in folders

/home/me/A1/A2/a2.cpp
/home/me/A1/A3/a3.cpp

/home/me/B1/B2/b2.cpp
/home/me/B1/B3/b3.cpp

CB project in
/home/me/prj/ab.cbp

I want all objects build into folder  (define objects output dir:  obj/  in project properties)
/home/me/prj/obj

By default, CB build those source files and output them to

./obj/A1/A2/a2.o
./obj/A1/A3/a3.o
./obj/B1/B2/b2.o
./obj/B1/B2/b3.o

This is not I wanted.  Since ./obj do not have those folder tree .
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Why do you care? C::B does this to prevent multiple files from different folders that are named the same to generate the same object file and thus prevents hard to debug issues.

Because other team member needs this.  Anyway, I find the solution.  In advance setting use flat option.

Why would they need this? I'm curious.
