Making LIBS

[etolocka]

Hi!

I´m using CW for HC(S)08 and I´m a little confused about the right procedure to make a LIB file from several ".c" files with functions.

Any advice?

regards,
Ernesto

this is my contribution to undestand how to make libs on CW6.

lib (it is the project to generate "out.lib")

testelib (it is the project that are using this generated lib "out.lib")

here are attached the projects to understand how to create libs on CW6.3 .

to create a library, switch the Linker in the "Target Settings" page from "Linker for HC08" to "Libmaker for HC08". Then a new Libmaker for HC08 page shows up where you can specify the library name.

Thank you!

Do I need to remove all libs and headers from the LIB folder in the Project Manager? (e.g. ansi.lib)

You probably only should have your own C files in your project to create the library, well it depends on what the library is for.
For a general purpose lib, I would not put the ansi*.lib, start*.c, datapage.c inside of it.

PS: What for a library do you create anyway?

I want to create a library with general functions for several text LCDs.

Another question: What about the header file? Do I need to include it in one of the ".c" files? (e.g. the first one) using the "include" directive?
