warning when using multiple build platforms

[charlls]

Hi,

i tried to setup the simplest project that handles at least two build platforms, in this case windows/mingw32 and ubuntu/amd64

for this, i created a new configuration (cloning from the mingw configuration and changing appropiately didn't work because it insisted on trying to compile using g++.exe instead of g++, like it hardcoded somewhere references to the tool collection properties inside the configuration)

after i created a new configuration and edited the properties so the project added appropiate includes for the platform, at clicking apply i get (manually transcribed since the dialog window doesn't seem to allow selecting text)

[charlls]

also, i was wondering if adding new configurations is really the right place to store includes and link configurations on a per user basis, i'm hoping that something much like a configuration can be added to a netBeans project seamlessly (a separate file would be ideal so it could stay out of the version control system) and each user would configure its own according to his working machine

does it make sense to use build configurations for this purpose? can configurations be imported or added in such a way? i've read mentioned by other forum members that NB has some support for pkg-config but i'm not sure how/where to add the pkg-config options (other than the build configuration options, that is)

The annoying warning problem has been fixed and will be available in a
patch to 6.8. In meanwhile you could download a trunk build from
http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest

Hello,

I am running NetBeans 6.9 on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux 10.04. As per the thread, I am trying to create C/C++ configurations so that I can compile with MinGW on Windows 7 and the normal GNU gcc on Ubuntu. However when creating a configuration for Linux on the Ubuntu machine, I get the similar Mismatched platforms warning:

Makefiles for the following configuration(s) were not generated due to mismatch between the current development host Platform "Linux x86" and the build platform in the configuration(s):

Debug [build platform: Windows]

Does anyone know why this is still happening? Was there really a bug fix in NetBeans 6.8?

Thanks,

Bob

Yes, I can check the warning box, but the project does not run on Windows when it says that the platform changed from OS X.

What is the approved method of configuring a project so that the same project can be run on multiple platforms (with perhaps different platform-dependent code)?

Has anyone found the solution to this?

I'm running 7.1.1 and am starting a cross platform C++ project that runs on a couple of flavors of Linux, MacOS and Windows.

I'm not sure what to do about Windows since I can't require mingw or cygwin to run the application. Will projects built under either environment work in standard Windows?

I get ths warning when bringing a project from Ubuntu to MacOS. I'll try try Sceintific Linux (a Fedora derivative) soon.

I'd appreciate a link to some documentation on cross-platoform C++ with NetBeans. Doesn't look anywhere near as easy as Java.

Why not Java, you ask? A combination of necessary libraries that require at minimum JNI code, and a group bias towards C++ and Python.
