buildoptions

The buildoptions function passes arguments directly to the compiler command line without translation.

buildoptions { "options" }

If a project includes multiple calls to buildoptions the lists are concatenated, in the order in which they appear in the script.

Applies To

Solutions, projects, and configurations.

Parameters

options is a list of compiler flags and options, specific to a particular compiler.

Examples

Use pkg-config style configuration when building on Linux with GCC. Build options are always compiler specific and should be targeted to a particular toolset.

configuration { "linux", "gmake" }
  buildoptions { "`wx-config --cxxflags`", "-ansi", "-pedantic" }
