Cortex M4 on CW10 in Win7: How to build code with stricmp() support?

UnisvrTim — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:26:27 GMT

Hi! I am new in CW. I searched the forum but not get the answer.

I created a new basic application project with mfs and rtcs support. Then I just added the following lines:

if(stricmp("abc", "Def") == 0) {

printf("match\n");

} else {

printf("not match\n");

}

the problem is:

if I do not #include <extras/extras_string.h>, then it complains about stricmp not defined.

If I do include the extras, then it will complain about: _io_strcasecmp... redeclared as ..., and: was originally defined as ... etc.

How to solve this problem?

Thank you for your help!

best regards,

Tim

Hello

stricmp is not an ANSI standard library function. It is part of the EWL extra library.

So if you want to be able to use that function in your code you need to rebuild the EWL library with EWL Extras Library

enabled.

Please refer to the EWL C Reference manual chapter Configuring EWL for more information on how to

Configure EWL Extra library.

Note that you can import the project arm-cortexm_lib from folder {Install]\MCU\ARM_EABI_Support\ewl to rebuild the library.

I cannot rebuild the EWL library

In CW10+MQX3.7, the EWL project imported from {Install]\MCU\ARM_EABI_Support\ewl is named as: EWL_C.prject. The only build configuration is: Coldfire Toolchain Tools and selecting Build Project will do nothing.

Am I forced to write my own "extras"?

Just switched to CW10.2 and seems I can rebuild EWL as described.
