cbp2make is a stand-alone build tool that allows you to generate makefile(s) for GNU Make out of Code::Blocks IDE project or workspace file.

-in <project_file>

specifies an input file or a list of files;

-cfg <configuration>

specifies a configuration file, see also --local and --global options;

-out <makefile>

specifies the name of a makefile or a list of makefiles;

-unix

enables Unix / Linux compatible makefile generation;

-windows

enables Windows compatible makefile generation;

-mac

enables Macintosh compatible makefile generation;

--all-os

enables all target platforms at once;

-targets "<target1>[,<target2>[, ...]]"

specifies the only build targets that a makefile will be made for;

--flat-objects

forces "flat" names for object files with limited character set;

--flat-objpath

forces "flat" paths for object files with no subdirectories;

--wrap-objects

allows to use multiline lists of objects which makes a makefile easier to read;

--wrap-options

allows to use multiline macros;

--with-deps

allows a built-in dependency scanner for C/C++ projects;

--keep-objdir

disables command that erase directories for object files in 'clean' target;

--keep-outdir

disables command that erase directory for an output binary file in 'clean' target;

--target-case [keep|lower|upper]

specifies style for makefile targets;

Common options:

--local

use configuration from current directory

--global

use configuration from home directory

--verbose

show project information

--quiet

hide all messages

--help

display this message

--version

display version information

Some installation- or project-specific options, primarily toolchain settings, can be saved to a configuration file. By default (since rev.110), cbp2make does not save any settings to a configuration file unless the user explicitly specifies the --config option. A configuration file can be either global (stored in user profile / home directory) or local (stored in current directory).

Please, keep in mind that since cbp2make is in early stage of development, an old configuration file may become incompatible with new tool version and it may be necessary to update it manually or initialize a new one.

When cbp2make is invoked, first it tries to load a local configuration file. If a local configuration is missing, next attempt will be to load a global one. If this attempt is not successful either, the default built-in configuration is used. Configuration lookup order can be overridden with --local or --global command line options. If one of options is supplied to cbp2make, non-specified configuration is not picked up even if the specified one is missing and non-specified do exists.
