Import/compiling of wxWidgets using C::B

[troels]

Importing wxWidgets 2.6.1/build/msw/wx.dsw (to MinGW) seems to work ok, almost (=all targets becomes type Static Library, including the Win32 DLL ones, Win32 DLL Debug etc.).

How to compile then? Do C::B have a batch build feature that I've overlooked, or is a batch build feature planned?

Without batch build (or building using dependencies as in MSVC), I guess one must manually activate and compile each .cbp project, one at a time, tedious, not really usable.

? There is only one project, that has several targets. Then you open it and go to Compile->Select Target->All (this is the default IIRC), and then compile it!
Also, theres an option to "Compile all Projects" for instance.

wxWidgets is composed of many projects, base/core/adv/html/xml/xrc/net etc., many .cbp's, each cbp having many targets.
It would be really cool if you could say "for all the projects in this workspace, compile/rebuild target Win32 DLL Debug".
(Actually it's a must for large scale projects - such as wxWidgets)

 :oops: My bad. For some reason I thought you were talking about C::B, not Wxwidgets! hehe Sorry about that.

Yep, dont see an option for that, and indeed is a must. I remember a loooong time ago when I used VC++6 and now I recall using that batch build option myself. Indeed comes in handy when you have a big workspace with several projects and each with several targets.

Maybe why dont you make a feature request?

Ok, I'll do that now, I just needed to make sure that I wasn't overlooking something, hadn't turned blind! (I'm still only a casual C::B user, sitting on the fence until precompiled headers and batch build - or dependency build - comes along, then goodbye makefiles, rot in pieces makefiles)

darklordsatan?! Isn't that a somewhat weird handle? Might put some people off?

I call him Stan, that way it sounds much more harmless :lol:

It does sometimes. But "Live and Let Live"

There are some problems with visual imports, I'm currently working on. I'll submit a patch soon.

And again, there's a compile all feature!

That's a "compile all targets in all projects" feature, right? A bit extensive for large projects, e.g. in wxWidgets I only need targets "Win32 DLL Debug" and "Win32 Release", it will take forever to compile all the targets in all the (sub)projects.

Oh yes you are true. I'll second you for the feature request
