Override make/gcc/g++ from workspace

[screetch]

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to override the GCC/G++ compiler used from the workspace environment variable or better, from the project settings (which depend on the current configuration)
I would like to have a workspace that contains projects with the configurations :
x86 debug
x86 release
amd64 debug
amd64 release
and x86 and amd64 have different compilers.

it is almost possible, by setting the following env variables :

Code: Select all

DebugLinkerName g++.exe
LinkerName $($(ConfigurationName)LinkerName)

but the problem is that the definition is overriden in the makefile :

Code: Select all

##
## Auto Generated makefile, please do not edit
##
DebugLinkerName:=g++-1
LinkerName:=$($(ConfigurationName)Linkername)
ProjectName:=test

## Debug
ifeq ($(type),Debug)
ConfigurationName :=Debug
IntermediateDirectory :=./Debug
OutDir := $(IntermediateDirectory)
LinkerName:=g++
...

Any idea ?

I think that the easiest would be to add a setting for it in the project, like this :

Code: Select all

      <Compiler Required="yes" Options="-g" Path="toolchains/x86/bin/g++.exe">
        <IncludePath Value="."/>
      </Compiler>

Also, the make command is "special" for me, I wonder if there could be a setting for it also ?
I can dig in the code if necessary

Why dont u define a new compiler?

From 'Settings -> Build Settings...'

Click on 'New..' button (give it a name 'my new modified gnu g++')
once You click OK, you define the toolchain from the 'Tools' tab of the newly created compiler.

Once you have setup a compiler, you can set it to be used by a specific configuration
So assuming your project name is:
'Prj' with configurations:
x86 debug -> set compiler: gnu g++
x86 release ->set compiler: gnu g++
amd64 debug -> set compiler: my new modified gnu g++
amd64 release -> set compiler: my new modified gnu g++

HTH,

That's almost what I need. The project files are generated from a build script and I wonder if it is possible to include the new compilers in either the project or the workspace so that people don't need to modify their environment to use the project

You can always share your 'build_settings.xml' with others (C:\Program Files\CodeLite\config)
