CCE configuration



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
