Hello,

I have tried to generate a .sym file but without success. Someone can give me some advices ?

Another thing, I want to generate a .sym file hoping that the CodeWarrior .sym file is equivalent to the Cosmic .sym file ... So, if somebody knows something about that, all explanation is welcome.

On Cosmic web site, I found only the "Converts Cosmic V4 Debug format to ELF/DWARF V2.0" utility... and on CodeWarrior web site, no utilities ...

I can't answer about any converter utilities, but I can put the existence of the .sym file extension in CodeWarrior to rest. CW sym files were a symbolics file generated for debugging PowerPC-based Macintosh platforms. The embedded PowerPC version of CW doesn't normally generate .sym files, and if it did (I could have overlooked something) they would not generate code that is compatible with the COSMIC tools.

Ok, thanks.
It is my opinion too that the CodeWarrior .sym file exist but I was not sure of the existence and function.
Now I have to search any converter utilities or create my own parser ... About that, did somebody already make that ?
Bye.

Hello
 
  CodeWarrior does not generate a .sym file. We generate ELF DWARF binary files.
  ELF DWARF is a standard file format for binary executable files.
 
  I do not know which is the format of the Cosmic .sym file, but you may find some converter from ELF 
  DWARF to .sym on Cosmic Web site.
 
  Additionally I am not sure why you want to convert the generated .abs file to a .sym file?

So, what is the .sym extension in the File Mappings tab of the Project Settings ?

Now, I will search some converter file.

The fact is I do not want to convert the .abs file to a .sym file. I want to convert the .map CodeWarrior file (or other extension file) in Cosmic .sym file. In other words, I need a CodeWarrior file or converted CodeWarrior file that has the same format as the Cosmic .sym file and hoping that someone has already do such a job or knows how to do, I posted this message.
