Is there an replacement for
**/*.*
**/*.cpp
so that i can do sth like this:
gcc -std=c++14 -I ./include/ -o ./bin/main ./src/**/*.cpp
(the way i go when i don't use any makefile)
on windows i did it this way:
gcc -std=c++14 -I include -o bin/main src/main.cpp src/Sth.cpp src/SthEl.cpp
because regular expressions seem not to work or I wasn't able to find a way to make them work...
Could you tell me how to do it on windows?
Depending on whenever you can use absolute paths you could use the following piece of PowerShell Code:
$files = (Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path ./src *.cpp | %{echo $_.FullName}) -Join " "
gcc -std=c++14 -I include -o bin/main $files
You might be able to shorten this to:
gcc -std=c++14 -I include -o bin/main ((Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path ./src *.cpp | %{echo $_.FullName}) -Join " ")
This isn't exactly as short or readable as your Linux equivalent but the closest I can think of to get to your desired result.
If your src has a flat hierarchy you could use:
gcc -std=c++14 -I include -o bin/main src/*.cpp
**would not be a regular expression as it's a quantifier and quantifying "any number of items any number of items" doesn't make a whole lot of sense. On Windows you could usesrc/*.cpp. What you're missing is a wildcards to mean "every cpp file in every directory". Usually you would use a script for that. In this case you could use a PowerShell script that collects the files and builds a string which you could use as the parameter for GCC.ls ./[a-Z]{4}/.*it doesn't meet the technical definition of a regular expression and the**would still be a violation/nonsense of what's usually accepted as a regular expression in technical systems. In addition in mylsexample you probably would need to escape the first dot to make it a literal rather than any character.
