As far as I can tell, Codeblocks does not use makefiles. I am using GCC but I think Codeblocks uses its own build method. I realize I could create my own makefile but I really don't want to go through that headache. Also I am not saying I want to use DOS. My preferred method would be to pass a flag on the commandline to fluid.exe to have it check timestamps between the .fl file and the generated source and header files before deciding to update the timestamps (which causes them to be recompiled when in actuality nothing changed). Maybe there is a command line option? Maybe I should modify fluid myself to do this with the hope it can get included in future versions. Wouldn't this feature make sense for IDE's that do not use makefiles? _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
