Global preprocessor settings

[koolgraph]

Hi, I searched all over the IDE and never found something like a Workspace global pre-processors options or an IDE's global. I searched the web for a macro defined natively by Codelite to identify itself like MSVC or C::B but found nothing.

That would be really helpful so if someone can lead me to something or a workaround to do the same thing, that would be really appreciated

A workaround can be achieved by making a new toolchain from: settings -> build settings -> Compilers -> New...

Create a clone of the g++ toolchain, and name it something 'g++ with macro'
Now, edit the newly created compiler and add the macros to the toolchain you want:

so instead of 'C++ compiler name': g++
it now becomes: g++ -DMYMACRO

Right click your project and select 'settings' and update the compiler In the "Common Settings => General" with the new one


From this point on, everytime you modify the toolchain it will affect all projects that are using it

Thanks for the reply, i had done something like this and it seemed not to work. I must have done something wrong, i'll try again.

Thanks again.
