Where is the variable ${CG_TOOL_CL} defined at and creating a make file build?

Mark Hicks

Hello,

My first question is, when looking at the properties for a project, the command for the MSP430 Compiler and Linker reference "${CG_TOOL_CL}", but I am unable to find where this variable is set at. Under the Resource -> Linked Resources there are a few Path Variables that are define (e.g., CCS_BASE_ROOT), but the variable CG_TOOL_CL is not defined. Where is this located at?

The second, right now I am using the Windows GUI to build the project though eventually this needs to be script driven from a Linux environment. Where would I find information on how to build/convert my existing project to be built within Linux??

Thanks and regards,

Mark

Gautam,

Thanks for the link. I had seen that during my searching, but I must have missed the "Properties -> General" comment. Under CCS v5.5 it is "Properties -> CCS General -> Advanced settings -> Compiler version". Still, it is not crystal clear that the variable CG_TOOL_CL is equal to this setting. Also, I wish it has listed out the full path and not just "TI v4.2.1".

How can you give partial credit? This answers the first question, but still need info on the second one.

Regards,

Mark

It is under Project Properties->Build->Variables tab. Be sure to enable 'Show system variables" and you will see all system level variables, of which ${CG_TOOL_CL} is one.

AartiG,

Fantastic, the "Show system variables" option shows everything I was looking for. I will take a look at the link for building via the command line.

Thanks,

Mark
