Hi Jens,
I know, that this is not exactly what you are after, but maybe it's useful
for you as well: There are some variables which you can use at least in
the "Build directory" field of a generic makefile project (and maybe also
in the working directory for a custom build step?).
They are all in the form of
${CURRENT_DOCUMENT:path}
where path can be replaced by baseName, suffix, ... and all the others in
this list (where you can also see their meaning):
insert(tag, file.filePath());
insert(tag+":absoluteFilePath", file.absoluteFilePath());
insert(tag+":absolutePath", file.absolutePath());
insert(tag+":baseName", file.baseName());
insert(tag+":canonicalPath", file.canonicalPath());
insert(tag+":canonicalFilePath", file.canonicalFilePath());
insert(tag+":completeBaseName", file.completeBaseName());
insert(tag+":completeSuffix", file.completeSuffix());
insert(tag+":fileName", file.fileName());
insert(tag+":filePath", file.filePath());
insert(tag+":path", file.path());
insert(tag+":suffix", file.suffix());
I'm not sure whether that's documented anywhere, and there is also no GUI
element to insert any of these. But at least they are available.
As for your question, may I ask how your example would be useful? Instead
of specifying the variable in Build Environment, can't you simply put its
value into your custom build step?
I would understand that a build environment setting is useful if your
Makefiles assume certain variables to be set, but that doesn't seem like
what you are after, is it?
Cheers,
Frank
