Hello!
After a few days of using CCE instead of IAR, I think I more or less understand how it works.
However, there are still things I find very annoying but maybe there are workarounds to solve my problems.
As I explained in an earlier post, I want to keep independent what is independent and therefore I need
several different folders (and paths) for a single project.
For my current project, I have:
[WorkSpace]/F5438 which contains files specific to this CPU
[WorkSpace]MyBoard which contans files specific to the current board
[Workspace]/../Devices because devices are used also by other processors
So if I want to include something outside the workspace, I have to
1. Choose right-click -> new -> folder
2. Click "advanced"
3. Check "Link folder in the file system"
Until here, it is fine. But then if I start browsing, it starts at the root of the file system,
and I need a myriad of clicks to include one folder.
My Computer -> E: -> Documents and settings -> [UserName] -> Path to the folder to include.
So my question is: is there a way to simplify the path? (apparently it does not see the links,
so I cannot go directly from desktop to the place I want. Is there a way to make CCE link-aware?
Second question: in case of creating many projects based on the same plaftorm, could anybody
point me to some technical documentation (what does CCE create (I know it creates .cdtbuild,
.ccsproject, .project, etc, I also know it copies the lnk_ file locally although it could be smarter
to link it, etc...).
Thanks,
Pascal
