how get "IntermediateDirectory" of active project

[vsfai]

hello,

how can i get name for "IntermediateDirectory" for active project in the plugin?

for example with this i can get project name for active project:
IManager *m_mgr;
wxString projectName = m_mgr->GetWorkspace()->GetActiveProjectName();

But how can i check this for Intermediate Directory, which is setup for example ./Debug

thx.

To get values of codelite's macros, use the IMacroManager interface.

For example, to get the value of the intermediateDirectory, use this snippet:

Code: Select all

m_mgr->GetMacrosManager()->Expand(wxT("$(IntermediateDirectory)"), m_mgr, wxT("MyProject"), wxT("Debug"));

Where:
MyProject / Debug are the Project Name / Configuration

You can always take the "long" path and use this approach:

Code: Select all

wxString confToBuild = wxT("Debug");
wxString project     = wxT("MyProject");

// Get the workspace instance
Workspace *workspace = m_mgr->GetWorkspace();
wxString errMsg;

// Locate our project
ProjectPtr proj = workspace->FindProjectByName(project, errMsg);
if(proj) {
	// Find the relevant build configuration 
	BuildConfigPtr bldConf = workspace->GetProjBuildConf(proj->GetName(), confToBuild);
	if(bldConf) {
		// and finally, we got a complete access to the entire build configuration
		// the BuildConfigPtr holds everythign that a user sees in the project settings dialog per project/configuration
		
		// Note that some of the values held in it are not expanded ! (they might contain macros) 
		// so you will still need to expand them using the macro manager
		wxString imdDir = bldConf->GetIntermediateDirectory();
		
	}
}

Hello,

thank you, the "long" path works very well, thank you for advice.

You could also write some code to read in the project.mk file and parse the lines themselves. For example, look for "IntermediateDirectory" and skip past whitespaces to reach ":=" and then it's the data after that.

The CL .mk file looks like this (in part):

Code: Select all

##
## Auto Generated makefile by CodeLite IDE
## any manual changes will be erased      
##
## WinReleaseUnicode
ProjectName            :=LiteEditor
ConfigurationName      :=WinReleaseUnicode
IntermediateDirectory  :=./Release
OutDir                 := $(IntermediateDirectory)
WorkspacePath          := "/home/rick/source/Codelite"
ProjectPath            := "/home/rick/source/Codelite/LiteEditor"

By simply reading that text file, you can obtain the value as well, inside or outside of CL.

Best regards,
