CCS modifying .cproject and .project files from import directory structure

Gerry Simmons
Intellectual 875 points

I'm trying to understand what CCSv5 M8 is doing here. When I import a CCS/CCE project and DO NOT copy file(s) into my workspace (like from a repository or a StellarisWare installation,) my understanding is that this creates soft-links to the source files from those folders, which is good. Also, all the build files (.o,.obj,.elf) end up residing in the user workspace.

However, I would have expected the .cproject and .project files TO get copied into the local workspace and refereced/modified from there.

Evidently, this is NOT the case. I discovered this when using GIT and Tortoise GIT with the MAVRK repository. BOTH, the .cproject and .project files downloaded from the repository are getting modified (AND they are the ONLY files that are getting modified.)

Can you clarify WHY this is the case?

    Hi Gerry,

    the files preceded with a "." (.ccsproject, .cproject, .project) are xml files with your project information. They will reside in the project folder. The StellarisWare projects reside outside the workspace folder. When you import it without copying the project into your workspce (as you should for StellarisWare), CCS will reference the project folder from its original location and the project xml files will remain there. They would only get copied into the workspace folder if you copy the whole project folder in there.

    Thanks
