Configuration files

Codewarrior 10.1 for Kinetis

I need to have a number of different configurations for each project.

Each configuration will have a number of configuration-specfic #include files. Some of these files will be generated by pre-build scripts from e.g. .BMP files. If I put these .BMP files in the configuration folder, and start a Clean/Build, the files are destroyed and the script fails.

I found this process easy to do with IAR, but I am struggling to find settings, processes etc that allow this to work.

Can someone please point out the obvious!

Thanks

Alex

Hello

When you perform a Project Clean, Eclipse will delete the whole build directory.

So only files that are re-created by a Project Build should be stored in there.

If you need to keep the .bmp file after a Clean Project you need to store them in a folder outside of the build directory.

You can for example create a directory bmp_files and add one sub-directory for each build configuration you are using.

Then store the .bmp files in the appropriate sub directory.

If the directory bmp_files is located in the project directory tree, make sure to exclude the folders holding .bmp for other

configurations from a particular build config.

This is quite easy. To remove a folder from a build configuration:

- Inside of the CodeWarrior Project view, click right on the folder name

- In the drop down menu select Properties.

- Activate the C/C++ Build page

- Check Exclude resource from build.

Many thanks for your reply.

That is working fine now.
