Where are compiler Global Settings?

Post by ssawgift »

I see every project has two -I. includes, one from project settings, one is from Global Settings. But I could not find the Global Settings. Where can I find them?

The extra "-L" or "-I" is coming from the "Global Settings"
The global settings are part of the project: open the project settings->global settings

and remove the "." from the include path and library path

The purpose of the "Project Settings->Global Settings" is to provide a common place for **all** build configuration without the need to retype them in every build configuration.

Thanks for your clarificaion.

I'd say that the wording 'Global Settings' is very misleading. Usually I think Global should be something for the whole IDE or even system. I was trying to find this Global Settings via the Settings menu never thinking it could be part of Project Settings.

[EDIT] Is it possible to move this Global Settings to a Common configuration that is listed together with Debug/Release?
