What, specifically, creates CodeWarrior Debug Configuration .launch files?

[lisamichauxsmit]

I am using the following:

- CodeWarrior 10.6 on Windows

- P&E Micro Multilink Universal FX

- TWRK64F120M + TWR-SER

I have a project up and running successfully on a single laptop. I am able to launch a debug configuration and debug on the tower board.

I am keeping my project settings and ReferencedRSESystems.xml file in a source repository.  When I try to launch that project from a different laptop with the same version of CodeWarrior, I am not able to use the same debug configuration.  Clearly, the ReferencedRSESystems.xml file alone doesn't provide enough information.  I think I need a .launch file, too.  But .... the .launch files don't seem to be generated consistently when I create a new debug configuration.  Sometimes, when I set up a new debug configuration, the .launch file is generated in my project folder.  Sometimes, I have no idea where the .launch file goes (if one is created at all).  I finally have a debug configuration that I like, but no .launch file to go with it that I can move to another laptop (aka another team member).

With the first laptop, despite having no idea where the .launch file may be, I am able to launch across restarts of CodeWarrior and reboots of the laptop.

So, to sum up:

- What, specifically, generates a .launch file?

- What is the known list of places I should look for the generated file?

- If I don't need a .launch file, what other magic settings do I need to haul from one laptop to another to get the same debug configuration to launch successfully?

Resources that I have used, but don't seem to get at exactly what I'm asking:

Hi Lisa,

In the standard Codewarrior project the .launch files are located in the Debugger directory.

They do not appear in the Codewarrior browser because of the filter settings.

You should be able to save these in a source repository along with the other wiles in this directory (.mem & .tcl)?

You can create and change where (& if) they are saved as file by changing the settings on the common tab of the launch settings.

bye

Hello Michaux-Smith:

Maybe this is what you are looking for:

Yes!

Debug Configurations | Common | Shared File

That setting is what I was missing.
