Makefile to project

Vaish,

We don't have a formal document on how to do this, as this procedure is heavily dependent on the makefile and the compiler tools you have and is entirely manual. However a few key points will help you with this conversion:

- Inspect each *.obj rule for the compiler options used and make sure that all of them are set in the project compiler options: right-click on the project --> Properties --> CCS Build --> Compiler. Include directories must be also specified (under Include Options), but keep in mind that a CCS Project already contains some default include directories for the compiler, XDC, BIOS, etc - these don't need to be replicated.

- Inspect the *.out rule for the linker options used and, just like the compiler options above, make sure that all linker options are set in the project linker options: right-click on the project --> Properties --> CCS Build --> Linker. As above, library include directories must be specified (under File Search Path) but some are already preset. In this rule, also carefully inspect the names of the libraries included in the project.

- If your project has a BIOS or XDC component, check the corresponding rule (probably something *.tcf) and set any options in your project just like before. Typically the only option is the -Dconfig.importPath, but there may be others.

- Also, keep in mind that CCS Projects by default set some useful compiler options to warn about certain potential pitfalls (--diag_warning=225 or --warn_sections) and additional options for newer versions of the compiler (--abi=coffabi).

- At last, the Console view in CCS is great to check for any details and build options you may have missed.

These are some of the details I would watch during this conversion. I will reply if I get any additional ideas, ok?

Hope this helps,
