When a project references a static library project, does it automatically link in the library created by the referenced project?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Hi I have questions concerning CCS project references for CCSv6.2.  Might apply to CCSv6.1 also.

I have a project which references another project that creates a static library.  Is there an option to automatically include the library that is built by the referenced project into the project that is referencing it?  This would be nice because at the moment, I need to specify this dependency but still have to go into the linker options of my project and specify the library explicitly.

When I have a SYSBIOS project which references a SYSBIOS config project, I do see that the right thing is done such that the linker.cmd file from the SYSBIOS config project is automatically included in the SYSBIOS project.  Seems to me like a similar option should be allowed for a static library project.

  • Hi Judah,
    What you are requesting was actually something we supported in the old CCSv3 and earlier. That functionality was lost when we went to Eclipse based CCS. I'm not sure why... I recall some discussion why support for it was dropped, though the reason escapes me at the moment. I'll see if I can dig it up.

    Thanks
