gmake doesn't rebuild changed file

Dmitry Cheremisin

Hi, I have a CCSv6 for the project and it works fine, but I'm frequently using an external editor to modify some source files and after modifying I'm trying to run gmake -k all via command line but it didn't rebuild my changed source file though if CCS is opened on background everything works. I even tried to run like gmake -k --always-new=myfile all but nothing, it keeps saying that there's nothing to rebuild: "gmake: Nothing to be done for `all'"

Thanks

Hello,
One option is to delete the associated object file for that source file.

Another is mentioned in the thread below:
stackoverflow.com/.../how-to-force-make-to-always-rebuild-a-file
However, that would require you to manually modify the makefile. Assuming you are using a CCS generate makefile, it is not recommend to manually edit it unless you plan on maintaining it yourself.

If you are using CCS generated makefiles/projects, why not use the CCS command-line build utility instead?

Yeah, I've tried to delete an object file and sometimes it works but sometimes gmake return errors, so I have refused from doing that.

.FORCE I've also tried it's returning me gmake: `myfile.obj' is up to date

gmake -k myfile.obj not working

in makefile:

myfile.o: .FORCE
.FORCE:

myfile.obj: .FORCE
.FORCE:

So I've checked I think every possibility, if you have some working example please let me know.
