SOURCEFILES list in makefile: multiline vs. singleline

[bad]

Hi,

When VisualGDB generates the makefile on my machine, all files in the SOURCEFILES variable are listed in one single line, but when my colleague generates the makefile on his machine, each file is listed on a separate line. We have the makefile under version control, so this leads to conflicts and huge merge effort each time one of us adds a file to the project. Both of us use the same version of VisualGDB (5.3R5) and Visual Studio professional 2015 (v14.0.25431.01 Update 3), so why is the makefile generated in a different way?

I’d prefer to have each file on a separate line to make merging easier. Is it possible to change how the makefile is generated?

Hi,

You can set this via Tools->Options->VisualGDB->General->Files->Max. items per Makefile line.
