How to make library files(*.a) in CW8.1 for mpc555

[B51]

Hi Folks

I have use CW MPC5XX v8.1 for 2 years, and I write a lot of functions. Now I want to make my own librarys. In the CW for 08 we can use the linker "libmaker for 08" or libmaker.exe under the "prog" folder, what should I do in the CW for MPC5XX envionment

And the CW8.1 compile use *.a not *.lib as library file, I can see CW use "mw lib import eabi", but I can't see any files in the "prog"  folder, why?

Does CW 8.1 can't customize  library or I have lost some plugins for the CW MPC5xx v8.1?

thank!

I have puzzled for 2 weeks!

Hello

Are you building from the command line or from the IDE?

If you are building from the IDE you can create a library setting the "Project Type" in the "EPPC Target" panel to Library.

If you are building from the command line (or from a make file) you need to add option -library to your linker options.

You can find the list of available linker command line options in

{Install}\PowerPC_EABI_Tools\command_line_tools\ mwldeppc.txt.

I hope this helps.

thanks for CrasyCat's help

I make it from the IDE, while there is something wrong I make it from the command line. 

It works good now!
