Title: Dependency Target
Post by: puneet_m on March 10, 2008, 08:23:02 pm

In a project I have 5 targets in a following way

A->B->C->D->E.

The above diagram shows that A is dependent on B, B is dependent on C and so on.
So when I build a project, will Code-Block take care of the order in which they are to be built?

Thanks,
Puneet

Hoping that this is actually your question (you do know what a question mark is, right?!):
Yes, C::B can handle project dependencies. You can setup them in the project properties. Targets are built in the order of their appearance.
There are two types of dependencies: Dependencies between projects (what you most likely want) and dependencies to external objects (for example libs, but also object files or any other type of files...).

Suppose my target Dependency chain is A->B->C. Then if I try to build just target A(not the whole project), will it also build B and C? How do you specify target A is dependent on B. Do we have to place them in the correct order in project properties menu or their is some other way as well?

I don't see GetTargetDeps function in projectbuildtarget.cpp being used anywhere. So does that mean target dependencies are not getting stored?

Thanks for the help

I have two Project A and B
Project A has following targets ---> x,y
Project B has following targets ---> q,w

How should I specify that target x is dependent on target q?
How should I specify Project A is dependent on Project B?

Thanks,
