Linker looking for file generated makefile does not create

[rlw]

I am testing CW 10.7 for MCUs on a legacy project that previously used CW 6.3

The project built successfully under 6.3, however that version of CW doesn't support 64 bit Win7. While possible to set up a VM to run CW 6.3, my team and I have been directed to determine feasibility an up to date build environment to avoid IT support issues.

When I run the build, a makefile is generated. this makefile creates object files named like "main_c.obj". However, when the link phase is attempted, the linker is looking for "main_c.o", which not what the compile phase created.

The error message is "ERROR L1302: File main.c.o not found"

I have looked at the makefile and various (also generated) subdir.mk and other sub-make file, but I don't see where "main_c.o" came from.

Any suggestions how to work around this problem?

Hi Ron.

I didn't see your code so I can only provide you tips as help

Tip of Linker Messages: L1302: File <File Name> not found

• Make sure the file really exist and his name is correctly spelled.
• Then check if your paths are defined correctly. The PRM file must be located in one of the paths enumerated in the environment variable GENPATH or in the working directory.

if above can not help, please upload your project here or create a private case or follow me to send me the project via email.

The generated makefile and generated sub-makefiles (see attached) create "main_c.obj", but not "main_c.o"

The PRM file (see below) does not reference "main_c.o", therefore, the generated makefile must be telling the linker that "main_c.o" is needed. I can not find where the makefile is doing that.

hi Ron.

I opened your project but I didn't see project file ( .project )

do you open your project with CodeWarrior 10.7 IDE? or command line?

can you please detail how to open your project and reproduce your problem step by step?

[rlw]

Attached .project, .cproject and .cwGeneratedFileSetLog

I open and (try to) build the project using the CW 10.7 IDE.

I created the project by using the New Project wizard to create a "CodeWarrior Bareboard Project".

Then I created new files in the project for application sources, then copied the source files from the legacy (CW 6.3) project in to the the new CW 10.7 project.

(Except for main.c, I did not change or replace any of the generated files.)

Then, in the "Commander" panel, I clicked "Build (All)". The build process ended with the linker error: "ERROR L1302: File main.c.o not found"

Hi,

I can open your project with your project files but I just found your folder doesn't include other source files (eg, C, prm...)

the source folder includes the intermediate .d .obj file but not source c files.

please make sure the folder includes all the source code and you can open and build it on another computer.

if you don't like to post your project to public, you can send it to me to my email (following my account, I will send you my email address) or you can also send your project by create a private case:
