CODECOMPOSER: How to add semicolons in the pre-build steps

Kevin Lehzen

Tool/software:

Hi there,

I am using CCS 8.3.1 and want to automatically generate a C header file that is referenced by the last git hash. To do so I use the pre-build step commands from CCS in project properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Build Steps. The following command works well:

git log --pretty=format:"#ifndef FPC_GIT_H%%n#define FPC_GIT_H%%nstatic const char GIT_COMMIT_HASH_LONG[] = \"%%H\"" -1 > ../Source_Code/FPC_files/include/FPC_Git.h

In contrast to the windows command prompt I needed to insert double percentages and backslahes to avoid the ignorance of some special characters. But now I want to add a semicolon to end the line in the C header. I tried '/;' ';;' '\;" but nothing has worked so far. The semicolon will always be ignored or does other strange things.

Is there a way to keep a semicolon here as it is?

Thanks for any help!

Kind regards,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I would recommend putting the command in a *.bat file using the post-build step to call the *.bat. This is typically a better option.

Thanks

Hi Ki,

thanks for your reply! I created the *.bat Script and it works fine in the windows cmd.

But when I put it in the pre-build commands like this: cmd githash.bat or cmd /c PATH/TO/githash.bat it wil not generate the file although there is no error.

So how do I execute the Batch file in the pre-build correctly?

Thanks

Kevin

Never mind, this works as a charme: PATH/TO/githash.bat

Just leave the 'cmd' and type the whole path.

Thanks for your idea!
