About the order of variable defination in makefile

[coolgle]

In CodeLite's auto generated makefile, e.g:

IntermediateDirectory := ../out/debug
OutDir := $(IntermediateDirectory)
WorkspacePath := "E:\test_suit\config_test"
ProjectPath := "E:\test_suit\config_test"

The IntermediateDirectory and OutDir are always defined before WorkspacePath and ProjectPath

But I want to set the IntermediateDirectory and OutDir relative to the WorkspacePath or ProjectPath，such as：

IntermediateDirectory:=$(WorkspacePath)/out/debug
OutDir:=$(WorkspacePath)/bin

How can I do that ?

BTW: Can I specify an included file for the auto generated makefile ?

Thanks

Simply set the intermediate directory to:

./Debug it is equal to $(ProjectPath)/Debug

But all the *.o and *.o.d are put into "src/debug" (the "src" directory is where my source files lie on), and the "$(ProjectPath)/Debug" directory is actual empty

Well, maybe I should write my own makefile and use custom build....

Indeed, I forgot about that. There is a good reason for this:
If your project contains 2 files with the same name (e.g. file.cpp) by using your approach you wont be able to link the project. But when using the current implementation, codelite allows you to link to files with the same name.

However: what is the problem that you are trying to solve?

I don't want to mess my source files with the intermediate files or ouput files

I have two different problems to solve :

- I use Premake4 to generate project and workspace by a simple regex "src/**.*"
I don't want to have obj file in my auto-generated project

- I have code in a (small) external device and I don't want intermediate files to be in It,
I would like to have those files in a temp directory in hard drive.
