CCS: Put a copy of the source file instead of a link to file

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I'm new with CCS and working on CC2650 sensortag projects. Once I import a CCS project, the project will be imported only with files links as resources. I want to make some modification to my source code, but the result is a change of all projects in which the common files are imported. How can I easily force CCS to copy source files rather than making shortcut files?

Cheers

    Hi Alex,

    You can copy the header and source files that you require for your project in local project directory (in workspace). This directory should be included under your Project -> Properties -> Include options.

    Bringing this subject back to life - I might need another helping hand on the subject...

    The structure below is the real example I'm facing:

    File main.c is linked, not local. As expected, if I change anything to it, I'll affect any other projects that use this file.

    (Separate story, it caused me a good deal of trouble because I failed to see the little arrow on the icon, edited the file, and magically a different project ceased to work...)

    Question is: is there a practical way of converting the linked main.c into a local one? A right-click "replace with a local copy" would be perfect!

    If I just copy/paste, it will create another linked shortcut. And if I copy the text into a fresh file, it will require renaming and the risk of the automatic renaming to "automatically fix and point existing references to the previous resource"...

    Hints?

    I am not aware of any convenient way to handle this in Eclipse/CDT. Sorry

    Hello Ki! Thanks for the comment.

    I guess I'll adopt the following sequence:

    - Create a new "newname.c" file
    - Copy all the text code from the previous "main.c"
    - Close and remove the previous (link only) file from the structure
    - Rename newname into main

    Just did it and it compiled alright.
