Hi,
I'm using LPCXpresso IDE latest release 7.9.2. I have a project that is split up into 4 sub-project, 3 are libraries and 1 is exe. The libraries are built differently i.e. have different configurations.
In my exe project, I specified all of the symbols in the pre-processor to build each library correctly. However it's proving to be a real pain where each library project builds when it's a dependancy on the exe project but only to the manually selected configuration for each. When means just to get an exe I have to get to each library, select the configuration, build that and then build the exe.
Why do I have to go into each library set up it's active build before building my exe - I might as well include all my source 4 times into 4 different exe projects and not bother code reuse via libs.
Project1 EXE
Config: Debug
Library1: DebugMain
Library2: DebugMain
Library3: Debug
Library4: Debug
Project1 EXE
Config: Release
Library1: ReleaseMain
Library2: ReleaseMain
Library3: Release
Library4: Release
Project2 EXE
Config: Debug
Library1: DebugBootloader
Library2: DebugBootloader
Library3: Debug
Library4: Debug
Project2 EXE
Config: Release
Library1: ReleaseBootloader
Library2: ReleaseBootloader
Library3: Release
Library4: Release
In my EXE project's I specified the symbols required for each special build of the libraries (pre-processor symbols) and reference their "lib.a" file but it's not passed on to the library project at build??
If I do not remember to select each dependent project and select the right active configuration for each EXE I end up with parts of the program using out of date code and it causes problems.
