Which project files to exclude from version control?

John F.

Hi,

I share an msp430 project through subversion with another engineer using CCS 4.2.3.00004. When I open the project that he's checked in, I get no files listed. I've tried editing files to change absolute paths to no avail and the only way I was able to get the project to open as expected was to place it in the same directory structure as exists on the other engineer's machine. We've tried to use linked resources (my kingdom for a symlink!), but haven't gotten that to work just yet.

Is there a subset of files that must be ignored in order for sharing projects across subversion that might help solve this problem, or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi John,

Have you seen this wiki topic on creating portable projects? It has a lot of good information on how to set up your linked resources:

If you look at slide 20 of the CCSv4 tips and tricks presentation, it tells you which CCS files must be checked in. So the rest of the files are optional.

Hope this helps,

Hi Ki,

Thanks for the links! We had the .lauches directory checked in, so we'll try to remove that and see how it goes.
