About

'''cbp2make''' is a stand-alone build tool that allows you to generate makefile(s) for GNU Make out of Code::Blocks IDE project or workspace file.
[http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,13675.0.html See also.]

Usage

Create makefile for a single project or workspace

Let's assume you have a project "my_project.cbp" and you need a makefile for this project.
In this simplest case all you have to do is:

cbp2make -in my_project.cbp

Same thing applies to workspaces.

cbp2make -in my_projects.workspace

Create makefile with another filename
-

By default, '''cbp2make''' will append ".mak" extension to the project name to compose a filename for makefile.
If you want to change that, use following command:

cbp2make -in my_project.cbp -out Makefile

Create makefile for another platform
-

If you are working in GNU/Linux and you want to generate a makefile for Windows or the other way around, you can specify one or more platforms for which you need makefiles.

cbp2make -in my_project.cbp -windows cbp2make -in my_project.cbp -unix cbp2make -in my_project.cbp -unix -windows -mac cbp2make -in my_project.cbp --all-os

'''cbp2make''' will append ".unix" or ".windows" or ".mac" suffix to makefile name for each platform respectively.

Create makefile for multiple projects or workspaces
-

If you have more than one independent project or workspace, you can process them at once, but you will need a text file containing the list of projects, e.g., ''projects.lst'', with one project filename per line.

my_project.cbp my_other_project.cbp

And then you can process them using command:

cbp2make -list -in projects.lst

Configuration

Some installation- or project-specific options, primarily toolchain settings, can be saved to a configuration file.
By default ''(since rev.110)'', cbp2make does not save any settings to a configuration file unless the user explicitly specifies the "--config" option.
A configuration file can be either global (stored in user profile / home directory) or local (stored in current directory).

Please, keep in mind that since cbp2make is in early stage of development, an old configuration file may become incompatible with new tool version and it may be necessary to update it manually or initialize a new one.

Initialization

cbp2make --config options --global

cbp2make --config options --local

Later use

When cbp2make is invoked, first it tries to load a local configuration file. If a local configuration is missing, next attempt will be to load a global one. If this attempt is not successful either, the default built-in configuration is used. Configuration lookup order can be overridden with "--local" or "--global" command line options. If one of options is supplied to cbp2make, non-specified configuration is not picked up even if the specified one is missing and non-specified do exists.

''Default lookup order''

cbp2make -in project.cbp -out Makefile

''Explicitly specified configuration''

cbp2make --local -in project.cbp -out Makefile

cbp2make --global -in project.cbp -out Makefile

Options

''Makefile generation''

-in <project_file> // specifies an input file or a list of files;

-cfg <configuration> // specifies a configuration file, see also "--local" and "--global" options;

-out <makefile> // specifies the name of a makefile or a list of makefiles;

-unix // enables Unix / Linux compatible makefile generation;

-windows // enables Windows compatible makefile generation;

-mac // enables Macintosh compatible makefile generation;

--all-os // enables all target platforms at once;

-targets "<target1>[,<target2>[, ...]]" // specifies the only build targets that a makefile will be made for;

--flat-objects // forces "flat" names for object files with limited character set;

--flat-objpath // forces "flat" paths for object files with no subdirectories;

--wrap-objects // allows to use multiline lists of objects which makes a makefile easier to read;

--wrap-options // allows to use multiline macros;

--with-deps // allows a built-in dependency scanner for C/C++ projects;

--keep-objdir // disables command that erase directories for object files in 'clean' target;

--keep-outdir // disables command that erase directory for an output binary file in 'clean' target;

--target-case [keep|lower|upper] // specifies style for makefile targets;
