Absolute path names in exported makefiles

[johannes]

Hi,

I want to export a makefile so others can build the project. CodeLite writes absolute paths into the makefile, which makes it useless for this purpose.

How can I make CodeLite write relative path names?

How can I make CodeLite write relative path names?

Settings | Build Settings | Compilers | <your compiler> | File Types

Select the file extension you want to change (e.g. 'cpp')
and change the default pattern (assuming you did not change it) from:

Code: Select all

$(CompilerName) $(SourceSwitch) "$(FileFullPath)" $(CmpOptions) $(ObjectSwitch)$(IntermediateDirectory)/$(ObjectName)$(ObjectSuffix) $(IncludePath)

into

Code: Select all

$(CompilerName) $(SourceSwitch) "$(FilePath)$(FileFullName)" $(CmpOptions) $(ObjectSwitch)$(IntermediateDirectory)/$(ObjectName)$(ObjectSuffix) $(IncludePath)

Note:

$(FilePath) is the relative path with a terminating slash
$(FileFullName) - the file name + extension, without any path

Click the 'Help...' button of the 'File Types' page to get the full list of macros available and their meaning

Thanks for the quick reply! Will try that.

Btw, any news/thoughts about this yet? I have tried looking into the code myself but I'm not familiar with the wx* nor the CodeLite codebase...
