Title: defining your own variables
Post by: DoMeN on November 04, 2006, 02:02:48 am

Is it possible to define your own variabls in code::blocks that vould be used in Tools and that would have to be defined in every project with a different string?
Something like: $(VAR) = /path/path
Tools: parameters: $(VAR)

Works for me: Version 1.0 revision 3139 (2006-10-24 08:52:45)   gcc 3.4.4 Windows/unicode

Would you please mention in your messages the full CodeBlocks version you're using and the system you're running.
You can find this info in the menu item Help/About/Information. Or, with a double click, copy the "Start Here" page "Version" banner to the clipboard.

What is the name of the custom variables? You may be picking one that causes it to crash. Also, what is the value?

It crashes for every variable name and every directory path.

Do you know if it is possible to get a newer version of c::b for FC5? I tried to compile a night build a while ago but I was unsuccessful so I'd need a version that is alredy  built for FC5.

If I trie to install a RPM with command "rpm -Uvh name_of_the_night_build_file" all I get are this three errors:
error: open of <!DOCTYPE failed: No such file or directory
error: open of HTML failed: No such file or directory
error: open of PUBLIC failed: No such file or directory

It works now but no one wrote that I should write variable name without $( ). When I write key without this it works fine but with $ it crashes the c::b  :? Maby I overlooked this somewhere but I think that this should also be writen in the menu. Tnx for your help  :D
