Hi there!
This is a bit classical request. I’m trying to tune CORBA project
where IDL files are used to generate CPP and H. So it was quite simple
to have a proper implementation of such generator that didn’t care
about where to place the generated files (see the attach). Until I
needed to include generated headers from other projects.
Well, you say, use <implicit-depencency>, and the BBv2 will know where
to find those generated headers. That’s true, but should I really take
care of this manually for every dependent project??? That’s the hell.
I’ve been looking for a way to put generated files to a custom
directory, but I’ve found nothing. Having spent few days, I couldn’t
implement that on my own. Please help me; how to customize the output
directory?
