Managed linker scripts not generated

Hi,

When I try to build my project, I get an error about linker scripts not being found:
  ld: cannot open linker script file project_Debug.ld: No such file or directory

I started seeing this with 7.4.0 when I disabled linker script generation to test a hand tweaked script, and now no matter what I do I cannot get the scripts generated again. I have re-selected Manage Linker Scripts in the linker settings. I see the .o files and the .map file in the output folder but no linker scripts any more. I have even tried checking out a copy of the .cproject file from when I could build with no success.

Does anyone know how I can get the linker scripts to generate again?

Cheers,
Shane

Turns out the problem is caused by using the CDT internal builder. Switching to the external builder resolves the issue.

Just for information.

For me the name of the .ld file was too long. Renaming the project did the tricks

This comes up as soon as I do the clean and then the directory is created. If I do a build without the clean, I do not get that error. If I start LPCXpresso and build the project, the only logs I see are:

This is starting to cause issues for that project, but I am able to create a new project and build. I may be able to rebuild the project from scratch to unblock myself.

Please try deleting the whole of the Debug directory and rebuilding your project

If that does not work, please zip and attach the file:
[workspace]/.metadata/.log
