How do you define project dependencies?

[compound]

Hi, I am currently migrating one of my projects to codelite from visual studio. its a fairly simple solution which has a main executable project and a lib project that the first should be a dependency of.

now in visual studio to make each project aware of each other you just have to right click the project and set the dependencies, but i am unsure how to achieve the same thing with codelite.

any ideas? thanks

Right click on a project, and use the "Build order..." menu. You'll see in the left list all available projects. Just check the project which are dependancies : They will appear on the right list. You can change the build order between the dependancies project using the up / down buttons.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I have however already tried this, and I just get the undefined reference error when linking. is there anything i need to explicitly do in order to statically link with other projects? excuse my ignorance, as all you need to do in vis studio is create a static lib project, then select that in the "dependencies" list and it works.

thanks

You need to make sure that your static libraries are specified in the libraries list.

In your "project settings -> Common Settings -> Linker -> Libraries" set a semi-colon list of libraries you need to link against:

For example, if you have 2 static libraries libOne.a and libTwo.a, your "Libraries" should contain:

Code: Select all

One;Two

And Make sure that the library search path is set properly (similar to the above):

Code: Select all

C:\Path\One;C:\Path\Two;"C:\Path With Spaces\Should be written like this"
