kliongiga.blogg.se - Codeblocks not building

A circular dependency is caused when project A depends directly or indirectly on project B and project B depends directly or indirectly on project A.

Code::Blocks is smart enough to watch out for circular dependencies and prohibit them.

If project A depends directly on project B and project B depends on project C, then project A indirectly depends on project C too.

Dependencies are set directly or indirectly.

Just select a different project in the drop-down box :). You can set all projects dependencies from this same dialog.

Tip: You don't have to close this dialog and launch the other project's properties again to set their dependencies. This will ensure that all the projects you checked will be built before the project that depends on them, ensuring a synchronized build. Select the project you want to add a dependency and then put a checkmark on all projects that this project depends on. Please notice that the dependency information is saved within the workspace file, not the project file as it is a dependency between two projects within a workspace. To do this, you select "Project->Properties" and click the "Project's dependencies." button. Then you could (and should) tell Code::Blocks about this dependency. Thus imagine in your workspace you have a library project and an executable project which depends on the library. Project dependencies are a simple way to tell Code::Blocks that a given project "depends" on another (in the same workspace, always). Most projects though (at least not the "hello world" ones), would want to setup project dependencies. In this case, projects are built in the order of appearence, from top to bottom. Projects build order is different depending if the user has set project dependencies or not. Here, things start getting interesting :). Use the menu "Build->Build workspace" to build a workspace (i.e. Since there can be only one workspace open at a time, there really is no build order issue for them. The workspace is the top-level container item for organizing your projects. Let's break these subjects in sections and explain them in more detail. NOTE: there is one kind of build target that does not produce a binary output directly but rather just runs its pre/post build steps (which may generate a binary output externally). This output can either be an executable, a dynamic library or a static library. Build target: project files are assigned to it, which are built as a group and generate one binary output.Project: contains one or more build targets.Workspace: contains one or more projects.But first let's see what components are the subject of the build:

As you have probably guessed, Code::Blocks does not launch build commands at random but rather as a well thought out and prepared sequence.
