Linker error "not found, cannot display source"

[breel]

I'm getting the following errors with the linker during the build of a project in CodeWarrior 10.6.4 that is just the basic bareboard project for MCF54452. I only get these errors when the build settings for coldfire linker Output has the "Generate Listing File" box checked.

There was another thread where someone had similar problems and was told to rebuild the runtime library (https://community.nxp.com/t5/CodeWarrior-for-MCU/Problem-quot-cannot-display-source-quot-with-source...) which I have done with no change.

Does anyone have an idea what else it could be?

Import from the path C:\Freescale\CW MCU v11.1\MCU\ColdFire_Support\ewl project and make a clean build.

Hi,

Are you using a project you bring from another computer? In this case please use option clean before building the project.
If this does not solve your problem please create a new bareboard project and let me know if you have the same warning. Thanks.

best regards,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I am creating a new bareboard project, not bringing project over. I am creating bareboard project type application for MCF54452, P&E USB MultiLink connection, full board support, no optimizations.

Clean project/build project does not solve the problem. I still get the same warnings. 

I don't know if it helps, but I do not have a "D:" directory and did not either at the time of installing CodeWarrior.

[Hui_Ma]

Hi,

I tried with CodeWarrior for MCU V11.1 without meet related issue.

I would recommend to install the latest CodeWarrior V11.1 software and test if there with related issue or not.

Wish it helps.

Mike

Thank you for responding. At your suggestion, I installed CodeWarrior V11.1 found at your link. 

Again, I am creating a new bareboard project, not bringing project over. I am creating bareboard project type application for MCF54452, P&E USB MultiLink connection, full board support, no optimizations.

When the project is generated I can build the project, and it builds with no errors... but I need a listing to be generated. When I check the box in the build settings for coldfire linker Output to "Generate Listing File" then also V11.1 fails and gives the following errors, same as V10.6.4 :

Hi,

Thanks for the patience.

Our CodeWarrior expert provided a quick workaround:

 It is necessary to add the next paths to Linker Settings -> Library Search Path:

"${MCUToolsBaseDir}/ColdFire_Support/ewl/EWL_C/src"

"${MCUToolsBaseDir}/ColdFire_Support/ewl/EWL_C/include"

"${MCUToolsBaseDir}/ColdFire_Support/ewl/EWL_C/src/coldfire"

Also see picture attached.

With above workaround I could pass project build and with below warning info:

Wish it helps.

This worked. Thank you!

Hi,

This is caused by the ewl libs delivered as pre-compiled with this path "D:\w\ColdFire\ColdFire_Build_Tools\ewl\EWL_C\src\printf.c" to the source file.

In order to change it you should rebuild the ewl libs on your machine. This will change the original absolute path to the source file to your pathsa and you can generate disassembly including lib source C statements.

Note:

The debugger can show the source code properly even without rebuild due to path mapping set. See below:

Hope it helps.
