Projectspec multiple build configurations

Sean2 said:

However, I am note sure if i can use project specs for my targeted use case:

• support multiple build configurations
• support including some files in a single build config but not another
• support different include paths and compiler defines

You can certainly create multiple build configurations of a project using projectspecs (using syntax similar to below), however I don't think it is possible to customize the files and options for a specific build config and not the other. If I find something different I will let you know.

<projectSpec>
 <project
   title="MyExample"
  device="Tiva TM4C123GH6PM"
  configurations="BuildConfig1,BuildConfig2"
  <file action="copy" path="main.c" targetDirectory="." />
 </project>
</projectSpec>

Hi,

Thanks for your response. This was my guess as suspicion, just wanted to confirm. So if I wanted to have the same project that works on two different board files. then I would need to create a projectspec file for board since adding build config specifics is not currently possible.

FYI - this support has been implemented for the upcoming CCS v6.2.0:

Added ability to specify, per build-configuration:
1. Files to exclude from build.
2. Compiler/Linker/Hex tool build option settings.
3. Enablement of the Hex tool.
4. Pre/Post build steps.

To address #1, the <file> element now has a new "applicableConfigurations" attribute.  The new attribute accepts a comma-separated list of build-configuration names.  The file will be included in build only for the specified build-configurations (i.e. it will be excluded from build for all other build-configurations).

To address the remaining capabilities, a new <configuration> element has been added to the <project> element.  Multiple <configuration> elements can be specified.  Each <configuration> element will specify the build-configuration name, and can optionally specify the compiler/linker/hex tool option settings, enablement of the hex tool, and pre/post build steps.

The projectspec schema has been updated with the changes [<ccs>/ccsv6/eclipse/plugins/com.ti.ccstudio.project.templates_x.x.x/schema/projectSpec.xsd].

Thanks,
