Getting SMAC projects to build in CW Special Edition

[AndrewD]

Hello all.

Is there a release of SMAC 4.2 that has examples that can compile in CodeWarrior Special edition?  I keep running into the 32 file limit problem. 

I remember that when I was working on my internship last year that I could build the examples, but I think that was SMAC 4.1.

I can't really upgrade to the full edition because this is for my school's Senior Design project and as a lowly student, I can't afford to purchase a license.

Thanks for any help!

Here is a possible work around.

Suppose you have
myfile1.c, myfile2.c, myfile3.c

remove these from the project and create
myfiles.c
In myfiles.c:
#include "myfile1.c"
#include "myfile2.c"
#include "myfile3.c"

Then add myfiles.c to the project.
Also .CMD file and another files in the project count, so you could remove some of those as well.

Hello Jim,

Would not the #include files need to be part of the project, and therefore within the file count?  Otherwise, the files would not be found by the preprocessor/compiler.  I would suspect that the content of the three files would need to be incorporated into a single file in order to reduce the file count.

Andrew, the following thread may be of interest - the 32 file limit can be eliminated with CW V6.0.

This worked.  Thank you very much!

Andrew,
For the sake of others reading this thread what worked?

I know for a fact that using includes as I mentioned works because I have done it serveral times.

.c files included in this manner appear to the compiler as though you have combined them into a single file.
If you don't normally do this in your .h files:
#ifdef _MYINCLUDES_H
#define _MYINCLUDES_H
...(stuff to inlcude)
...

#endif
You may have to.

Per the thread that BigMac posted, I copied and pasted this line into my license.dat file for CodeWarrior 5.7 and was able to build the SMAC 4.2 projects.

cool - thanks.
I didn't know what SMAC 4.2 was so I didn't immediately realize it was CW 6.0.

Mac,
Thankfully, no. It seems that only files in the project (i.e added to and visible in the IDE) count.

At least that has been my experience with the HC12 version.
Does it make sense? Not really, but then why should map files and cmd files count?
