I migrating a Make File project over to Code Composer (CCSv5) and having issues with my linker. Actually the problem is not with the linker, it doesn't show up until it trys to link. My project uses 'libtool' (http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Creating-object-files.html), which I assume must use the tool chain to do it's compiling. Unfortunately I can find nothing in the libtool that came with my SDK that directs it to the tool chain. Can you give me any information on how to setup CCSv5 to use libtool. In addition, even though libtool is using the wrong compiler (gcc not arm) it looks for the objects files in the current directory and all my objects are placed in the Debug directory when the are compiled. I'm hoping that this is just a simple CCSv5 setup issue. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

I am not familiar with libtool at all but, since CCSv5.1 is based on the latest Eclipse release, the web can help you. Check some articles and discussions below that are related to the process of creating a project:

http://tronprog.blogspot.com/2009/06/tutorial-using-autotools-with-eclipse.html

http://www.funnelwebinternet.com.au/userdir/rossb/hpida/ThirdParty/eclipse/eclipse.html

The article below talks about how to debug an application, but the procedure is very similar to Run mode debug in the CCSv5 Linux Debug page as well:

Maybe someone with previous experience in the libtool may have additional comments.

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Thank you.

Does CCSv5 have a 'Auto Tool' plug-in that I can add per the links you sent me? If not, will the Eclipse Autotool plug-in work with Code Composer?

If I change my project over to a makefile project in Code Composer, will CCSv5 just execute the Makefiles I currently have using the tool chain?
