Libraries search path chaos

[lpcware]

I have a really annoying problem with mit library search path.

I extended the project apporach of lpcopen and added several other ptoject libs to sahre code between different firmwares.
So I set the required paths for the linking phase in

Properties>C/C++ Build>Setting>MCU Linker>Libraries

Lpcexpresso is now mixing up this paths on a regular base especially when i want to change the active configuration, this is quite bad because the order during the linking phase is not optional!

It seems to be that there are some helper modules of eclipse running in the backlground and try to gather this information.

Anyone has an idea how to prevent this behaviour??

OK, I thought you were referring to library projects created by the Wizard. The LPCOpen projects are not created by the Wizards, which is why they do not have this included.

At least LPCOpen libraries (lpc_board_nxp_lpcxpresso_1549) are still without Smart update files...

This sample is adding CMSIS_CORE_LPC17xx. So just change this library name and it's working with your libraries  :)

Probably you don't need a def setting, so you can delete it...

Can you provide example? It is not doing that on our projects...

'Smart update' is a good solution to add all library settings...

Unfortunately this XML file isn't generated with newer LPCXpresso versions  :((

So I'm copying an old one and changing project names manually  :)

I followed this guide:

http://www.lpcware.com/content/faq/lpcxpresso/creating-linking-library-projects >> Manually creating links to library projects

What is now happening that eclipse is changing the list under MCU Linker >> Libraries

* changign the order
* replacing /Debug with /Release and so on
* removing entries
* adding entries

How is C/C++ General >> Paths and Symbols related to all this? It is possible to add stiff there too but this leads to even more weird behaviour

ty in advance for your help

Sorry, but it is not clear what you mean. Can you please explain EXACTLY how you have configured your projects, what is happening, and what you do to provoke the problem.

There are no "helper modules of eclipse running in the background" that will cause any problems.
