CodeLite IDE

I have a workspace with multiple projects. They all use the rt lib and a Utility lib.

I tried adding them as a switch in Settings->Build Settings->gnu g++->Linker options but that didn't work.

Can I set it up so that I don't have to add them to each projects global settings?

this is not the place to add them. If you wanted to add it on the compiler level, you should do it from:
"Settings->Build Settings->gnu g++->Tools->Linker Name"
and replace "g++" with "g++ -lrt -lUtils"

But I am not sure that this is the correct thing to do. I would clone g++ compiler and create a new one named "g++ with rt" (or something like this) and then do this change

Read my previous answer ^^

No joy. I added it to the linker line and my make now produces:

g++ -lrt -lFASTLib -lUtilityLib -o ./Release/SER_GPS @"/home/test/dev/FASTTrac/SER_GPS/SER_GPS.txt"

And it leaves everything unresolved.

The original compile that works uses (with libraries defined in the project settings)
g++ -o ./Release/SER_GPS @"/home/dhuff/dev/FASTTrac/SER_GPS/SER_GPS.txt" -lrt -lFASTLib -lUtilityLib

I know that order for the libs matters (I had something in FASTLib that relied on UtilityLib and if the order was rt;UtilityLIb;FASTLib and I was again left with unresolved items).
I guess it also matters in the linking command line as well.

Any ideas?

Ok, here is a better way of doing it - its a much nicer hack

right click on your workspace, and select "Workspace Settings"
In the "Environment" tab. In the "Specify here an additional environment variables" box, type"
This will append " -lrt -lFASTLib -lUtilityLib " to the end of your project link options and it should work

An alternative is to use a tool to generate Codelite project (like Premake).

With it, you can set settings at solution level, and the tool does the job to "dispatch" setting per project.
