Title: Wrong $(variables) output
Post by: Pecan on March 14, 2007, 03:47:04 pm

During post processing I get the following output for:

cmd /c echo $(TARGET_OUTPUT_DIR)
cmd /c echo $(TARGET_NAME)
cmd /c echo $(TARGET_OUTPUT_FILE)

C:\Usr\Proj\ThreadSearch\
Debug
.\bin\Debug\ThreadSearch.dll

Shouldn't number 1 be:

 C:\Usr\Proj\ThreadSearch\.bin\Debug\

I also think so. (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,3930.0.html) ;)

That's not all, there is something wrong with these variables.

• Create two new console projects (test 1 and test2) in a workspace
• add "cmd /c $(TARGET_OUTPUT_FILE)" to both in pre-build steps
• activate first project
• try "build workspace"

For both projects you will see "./test1".  :(

It seems to me, that the variable expansion works only for the currently activatet project.
