Linker Command File Conditional On Including Files

Ioline — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:15:25 GMT

It is easy to have a linker file include a .bin file, however, is there anyway to have an INCLUDE statement subject to a switch outside the LCF? To put it another way, can a switch be created in C to tell the lcf to include or not include a file?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but I have a suggestion which might help.

The CodeWarrior assembler also has an incbin statement, so you could add a small assembler file to your project along the lines of:

        .data
        .globl _myData
_myData:
#ifdef foo
       .incbin 'file1.bin'
#else
       .incbin 'file2.bin'
#endif

From C, the data would be refered to by the symbol 'myData' without the leading underscore.

Hope this helps

Simon, thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion and for some reason it says that the binary file does not exist or cannot be opened. Any thoughts?
