Installing CSL in CCS4

I have downloaded and installed the C5500 CSL on my PC. Is there a preferred method of "installing" the CSL in CCS4? Or should I manually add include paths etc to the directory where I've put the CSL.

Looking at the build options I see that the CCS4 installation has found the old CCS3.3 installation and created a System Macro (seen via the properties dialog 'Macros' tab) 'C5500_CSL_CG_ROOT' that points to the CCS3.3 CSL directory. This macro is neither editable nor deletable. Can this be changed to my new CSL installation? It is confusing to have this macro available but referring to an incorrect CSL.

Hope you can help,

John

  • Note that these macros are meaningless unless you actually reference them in your project options somewhere.  Just above "System Macros" is "User Macros".  You could create a totally new macro such as "C55X_CSL_ROOT" and reference it in the project options (i.e. preprocessor include path and linker search path).

    If you want to override the existing macro you just create a "User Macro" with the exact same name.  Click "new" and type in "C5500_CSL_CG_ROOT".  Set it up as a "directory" and you can have it point to wherever you want.  This will override the system macro.
