Wish : run should re-make if source has changed

[HJarausch]

Hi,

I missing a quite common feature.
I'd like to press the <RUN> icon only. Codelite should check (using make) if any source files are newer than the current executable.
If that's the case it should re-make the project automatically (or ask if it should do so).

Or is this feature available already?

Thanks,
Helmut.

this feature already exists, but due to the nature of the build system (which wont be changed anytime soon) it will perform link even when not needed.
Ctrl-F9 is the default keyboard binding for that.

(from the menu: Build -> Build and Run Project)

Yes, thanks.

I just thought about implementing the run button/icon such it always checks (by check the file dates only)
if the executable is up-to-date and re-builds it before running it if necessary. (That's the way it's implemented in SciTE)

Helmut.
