CCSv4 Directory specifier

one and zero
Mastermind 18256 points

Hi,

in the project options (C/C++ Build, Tool Settings, C6000 Compiler, Directory Specifier) I can (when selecting manual mode) give alternative directories for temp, object, asm and listing/xref files.
How can I extend this to *.opt, *.mk and *.pp files (which currently remain in the selected configuration's directory, e.g. 'Debug')?

 

Thanks for your help ...

    The *.opt and *.mk file are generated by v4 project manager and there is no option to specify custom directories to generate them in. I believe the *.pp file is generated from the compiler and I'm not sure if you can control the location of that file....

    I looked into the *.pp file and looks like you cannot control where that file is generated either.

    Ki,

    thanks for the answer.

    Could we add this functionality in a future release, please?

    The idea is to keep temporary and generated files away from the directory where the sources are located. That's important in case your working with source control SW.

     Kind regards,

    I filed an enhancement request. The tracking number is: SDSCM00035232. You can use this number to track the status of this issue (see the forum readme for more details).

    Regarding specifying the location of the *.pp file, this is already supported with the next major release of the code generation tools (7.x).

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Is it also true that generated files such as *.cdb, *.h55, *.s55, *.cmd are not able to be re-directed in v4.1?  I am using command line, it looks that those files are generated on the same directory as makefile, for example, if makefile is at project/Debug/, those generated files will be at Debug/, if I move makefile to project/  (makefile is modified accordingly to reflect the directory change), those generated files will be at project/. I have tried "--temp_directory", it doesn't help. Basically, I want to put makefile at project/, the generated files will go to Debug/.

    Thanks,
