Unable to generate library.

[infoclog]

During the build process, I receive an error while trying to build a library of the modules. For example, I have a module with a file ( Version.c  ). After the successful compilation of the file, I am trying to build a library from the generated .obj files.

My compiler flags are:

Involking tool to generate the obj file

CC        = $(TOOLSDIR)/CodeWarrior/cgtools/bin/mwcceppc.exe

CFLAGS    = -c -v -abi eabi -ext obj

My flags to generate the library are

Involking tool to generate the lib file

AR      = $(TOOLSDIR)/CodeWarrior/cgtools/bin/mwldeppc.exe

ARFLAGS = -library -abi eabi -v

Hello infoclog,

I'd suggest you to try to modify the the linker options:

mwldeppc.exe -library -abi eabi -v -o Version.lib Version.obj

If it does not work, could you perhaps post the Linker related section of your makefile.

BR,

Stanish

Hi Stanish,

I am trying to create a library from the object code first. The linker takes the library as a input to generate the final executable. That means the output which you are seeing does not reach the link stage at all.

I dont know if the linker related section in the makefile will help you.

Nevertheless, i added the -p option and still no success.

Hi Stanish,

I am also tracing this problem through a service request ( Number SR# 1-780265215 ) . I received a makefile from them and the only thing missing in my options was -o.

Previously my options to build the library were:

ARFLAGS = -library -abi eabi -v

and now

ARFLAGS = -library -abi eabi -v -o

With the -o options atleast I can start the build of the library. But still, the error persists. Please see the log details:

What could be the problem here? I want to make the build process standalone without installing the codewarrior. Is that possible?

[stanish]

Hello infoclog,

The error you get is related to missing license feature. I suspect the correct license.dat file is missing or is corrupted.

Does the license.dat file located here: F:\MyDocuments\workspace\eclipse\InbetriebnahmeProjects\MakeModule\TOOLS\CodeWarrior\toolchain\bin\license.dat includes a valid CW for MPC56xx license?

Does the license.dat file includes "Win32_Plugins_Link_PPC" licensing feature?

I'd suggest you to copy the correct "license.dat" into CodeWarrior root directory.

Hope it will help.

Stanish

[infoclog]

Well, I received the Codewarroir CD Version 2.8 from my sales agent here in  Munich. The license file was present in the following folder after i installed the entire CD.

e:\Program Files\Freescale\CW for MPC55xx and MPC56xx 2.8\

I copied it from my standalone path.

Neverthless, if the license file would have been corrupted it would break in the compile stage. The code compiles, generates an object file but druing the generation of the library gets stuck.

I dont understand what is Win32_Plugins_Link_PPC? How can I check if my license file contains this feature?

Greetings,
