Custom Makefile

[Knx]

Url

Q: My project should be compiled with a custom makefile. Is it possible with Code::Blocks?

A: Yes, you can. You need to change two different settings:

a) In "Compiler Settings", under the tab "Other", there's a setting called "Build Method". Choose "Work with makefiles".

b) In your project's Properties, you can choose to use a makefile. Check "This is a custom makefile" (WARNING! if you forget to check, the makefile will be OVERWRITTEN!)

And that's it!

a) It's disabled...
b) Couldn't proceed...

Why is it disabled?

Doing only step b), I get this message:

mingw32-make.exe: *** No rule to make target `Release'.  Stop.

I doing used custom Makefile. I have no problems.

For example, create Makefile_my.
Set this name in project properties.
On compile, will called target Release. In my example target Release equ target all.
On CleanRelease, will called target clean.

Code Select Expand


default:
@echo  ****************** Make DLL ******************
@make.CMD

Debug: all
Release: all

all :
@echo  ****************** Make DLL ******************
@make.CMD

cleanDebug: clean
cleanRelease: clean

clean:
@echo  ****************** Remove DLL ******************
@removeall.cmd


If you have questions, I ready to answer.

Good luck!
