As I understand, if you have workspace and you go to Properties > Project Dependencies, you can choose ohter project that should build before the primary project is built.
For example, I have the primary project named CoreBSP and other one called stb_image which produces stb_image.a library.
This is the workspace, as I can see, its ok:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<CodeBlocks_workspace_file>
<Workspace title="CoreBspViewer">
<Project filename="stb_image/stb_image.cbp" />
<Project filename="CoreBSP.cbp">
<Depends filename="stb_image/stb_image.cbp" />
</Project>
</Workspace>
</CodeBlocks_workspace_file>
However, its not working at all, you have to build stb_image manually in order to link CoreBSP.
Build/Clean workspace also doesn't works, it builds only the activated project...
Am I missing something?
Im using CB 17.12 on Windows.
You have to build the primary project to build its dependencies. Building a project X does not build other projects Y that depend on X, it only builds the projects Z that project X depends on.
Other than that, dependencies work for me, however im on r11417, but a quick check of the logs didnt reveal any changes to the dependency system after your release.
That's odd, if I build the main project, it should first build the library.
You have to have matching target names in both projects. If they aren't matching then nothing would be built.
Oh, wait, you're right, my target names are different indeed, it works now 8)
Thanks!
