Build Settings - where are these explained?

Post by HJarausch »

Hi,
I've difficulties in understanding the Build Settings, e.g.
Settings -> Build Settings -> gnu g++ ->Compiler options or Switches

Which options / settings are used.
Furthermore I'd like to compile with the -Wall option.
What's the best place to set this?

Many thanks for your help,
Helmut.

P.S.
I have just finished a 60 hours course on C++ for beginners.
CodeLite (here build 4375) is just GREAT.
The GUI for the debugger is very nice though I still have to learn about it,
e.g. I have to find out how to send commands to gdb directly
for setting variables, calling functions, displaying parts of arrays or complex
data structures.

CodeLite is just an ideal GUI for beginners as well as for troupers.

Many THANKS !

rightclick on your projectfolder in the workspace tree -> settings -> compiler. you see a 'compiler options'-field. your flags can go there.
the list under settings -> build settings etc just seems to be a list to show what is available (at least to me since none of these are used).

greets,

The list in Settings->Build Settings- gnu g++->Compiler options are just presets you can use in workspace tree->settings->compiler. You can add your own options here, to use them in workspace tree->settings->compiler->options.
There is a button at the right of the compiler options where you can select those presets. Same for linker!
