Build Parallelism and Pre-Build/makefile.targets Dependency Issues

Hi,

In Anthony Seely's previous post at http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/hercules/f/312/p/354371/1247802.aspx#1247802 he informs how to configure the gmake parallel build option. I tried this but ran into problems with dependancies on the pre-build batch file and makefile.target operations I perform, which Anthony suggests I post on this forum.

My problem is as follows:

I run a pre-build batch file and also have a makefile.targets defined, both of which prepare inputs necessary for my build, and they must complete prior to any compilation.

With build parallelism configured, the natural flow and dependencies are disrupted, and the compilation zooms off in parallel to the pre-build and makefile.targets.

Am I able to force the compilation stage to hold off until both pre-build and makefile.targets are complete?

I am using CCS 5.3.0.00090 and CGT 5.0.1

Regards, Tony.
