Is there a way to tell CodeLite that I want to link to libregex.dll.a when I'm using MinGW, but not otherwise, without having to use a custom makefile (with a makefile I can use ifdef MSYSCON).
You need to define a new build configuration.
For the sake of the example, lets assume that you have 1 project named "A" with a single configuration named "Debug".
So what we are trying to do is to add a new workspace configuration so that when selecting it, it will build without libregex.dll.a.
So we need to create a new "workspace configuration", followed by new project build configuration and "connect" between the two.
1) From the main menu: "Build | Configuration Manager..."
2) from the drop down button that says "Workspace configuration" select the option "<New...>", give it a name and close the dialog (e.g. DebugLinux")
3) select the newly created workspace configuration
4) For the project "A", use the drop down button and select the option "<New..>"
5) In the dialog that shows, give the new project build configuration a name (e.g. DebugLinux) and in the "Copy settings from:" drop down button, select "Debug" -> this will instruct codelite to copy the settings from the "Debug" configuration into the newly created "DebugLinux" build configuration. Click OK and dismiss that dialog
6) Back in the "Configuration Manager" dialog, select the newly created workspace configuration along with the newly created project configurtation, so all the drop down buttons in the dialog will say: "DebugLinux" click Apply and close that dialog
7) In the drop down on top of the workspace view, select the newly created workspace configuration "DebugLinux", next, open the project settings and remove libregex.dll.a from the link options
So, to build for Windows, select "Debug", and when on Linux, select "DebugLinux" this way you can add / removed any option you want for each platform.
