Showing relative paths in "Build messages"

[pozzugno]

My compiler outputs warnings and errors with the full/absolute pathname for each file.
Of course this pathname is shown in "Build messages" frame of C::B.

How can I convert the absolute to the relative pathname against the main project
directory?

What do you need this feature, for?

Probably to fix this you'll need to modify the code.

IMO, full paths are probably uncomfortable because they can be much longer than relative paths and may simply not fit in a window while they do contain redundant information that only brings confusion instead of help.

You can try to uncheck "Settings -> Compiler and debugger... -> Global compiler settings -> [the compiler you use] -> Other settings -> Advanced options... -> Others -> Use full Paths for source files (GDB workaround):".

But it can break debugging in some cases.

Yes, that is my reason too :-)

Great, that works... :-)

Oh, I'm not interested in debugging.
