Is there a way to disable the auto-updating of EXTERNAL_LIBS make variable while maintaining auto-updating the SOURCEFILES variable? I see the “#VisualGDB: AutoSourceFiles #<— remove this line to disable auto-updating of SOURCEFILES and EXTERNAL_LIBS”, but I would like to keep the AutoSourceFiles functionality.
This is not possible directly, however you can simply remove the references to $(EXTERNAL_LIBS) in the Makefile rules. Hence VisualGDB will update the variable, but its value will be ignored.
