1.12 CodeBlocks at the command line

IDE CodeBlocks can be executed from the command line without a graphic interface. In such a case, there are several switches available for controlling the build process of a project. Since CodeBlocks is thus scriptable, the creation of executables can be integrated into your own work processes.

codeblocks.exe /na /nd --no-splash-screen --built <name>.cbp --target='Release'

Specifies the project *.cbp filename or workspace *.workspace filename. For instance, <filename> may be project.cbp. Place this argument at the end of the command line, just before the output redirection if there is any.

--file=<filename>[:line]

Open file in Code::Blocks and optionally jump to a specific line.

/h, --help

Shows a help message regarding the command line arguments.

/na, --no-check-associations

Don’t perform any file association checks (Windows only).

/nd, --no-dde

Don’t start a DDE server (Windows only).

/ni, --no-ipc

Don’t start an IPC server (Linux and Mac only).

/ns, --no-splash-screen

Hides the splash screen while the application is loading.

/d, --debug-log

Display the debug log of the application.

--prefix=<str>

Sets the shared data directory prefix.

/p, --personality=<str>, --profile=<str>

Sets the personality to use. You can use ask as the parameter to list all available personalities.

--rebuild

Clean and build the project or workspace.

--build

Build the project or workspace.

--target=<str>

Sets target for batch build. For example --target=’Release’.

--no-batch-window-close

Keeps the batch log window visible after the batch build is completed.

--batch-build-notify

Shows a message after the batch build is completed.

--safe-mode

All plugins are disabled on startup.

> <build log file>

Placed in the very last position of the command line, this may be used to redirect standard output to log file. This is not a codeblock option as such, but just a standard DOS/*nix shell output redirection.
