Custom Compiler profile Import

[sgolubev33]

Hello,

If I've defined custom compiler profile in the Code::Clocks the cbp2make does not importing this custom profile in to cbp2make.cfg

Hi! Sorry for late reply. Unfortunately, cbp2make doesn't know how to import Code::Blocks config (yet), so the fastest way to introduce a custom compiler to cbp2make is to configure it manually either through command line or by direct editing of cbp2make XML config. You can first run cbp2make dry with --local and --config options and then edit the template. I know it's inconvenient, but I'm having just the same problem with it.

The problem with importing Code::Blocks config is that Code::Blocks stores almost everything in CDATA sections and not in regular XML tags and parameters and then since 1) TinyXml cannot provide an API for parsing and r/w contents of CDATA sections because it can't possibly know its format and 2) correct me if I'm wrong, but internal Code::Blocks config doesn't seem to be well documented; reverse engineering of that format including studying Code::Blocks sources has been postponed during active development. Maybe we should give it another try, it's a nice feature afterall, I'd like it being implemented.
