Link files

Rafael,

Here is the reponse from my customer;

I am running CC 4.1. 
I followed the procedures for adding the variable path name to the Windows -> Preferences -> ... -> Linked Resources.
I then added a simple main.c to the project and it compiled OK 
I next linked to a simple prog.c (using Method 2) and got the following error:
 
"C:Program Files\Texas Instruments\CCSV4\gmake\gmake *** No program to make target /prog.c needed by prog.obj"
 
I only get this message when I use "Link To" instead of "Add"  Everything else seems to work as indicated in the app note.
Sorry to make such a production of this.

Tom,

Sorry, I am a bit confused. Your first post shows that your customer is trying to simply link a file to a project by selecting the Link Files to Project and pointing to the destination source file. If this is what he wants, he does not need to set the Linked Resources or link the files using the method for Portable Projects. Did he succeed to simply link a file this way?

Tom Smith said:

"C:Program Files\Texas Instruments\CCSV4\gmake\gmake *** No program to make target /prog.c needed by prog.obj"

It seems that now he wants to create portable projects based on this page, therefore the error shown in your post indicates the variable is not being properly set. The message mentions /prog.c, therefore indicating the variable is resolving to NULL. Can you confirm the following topics? 

- Does the linked file have an exclamation point (!) close to its filename in the C/C++ Projects View? If so, this is a confirmation the file is not being found.

- If he right-clicks on the file, what does he see? Check the attached screen that shows a file that is tied to a linked resource (MY_DOCUMENTS) and its resolved location in the filesystem.

Apart from this, I am not aware of any problems in the method depicted in the Portable Projects page. I would need additional details about his project (maybe even the project itself) to have a clearer idea.

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Rafael,

Here is the latest from my customer;

I may have made things more complicated then they have to be.
My original intent was to create projects with source code in multiple directories.  I thought I needed to follow the guidelines in the "Portable Projects" app note to implement this.
I deleted the project I had been working with and created an new project.  The directory structure is as follows:
All my MSP430 projects will be inside the main directory C:\Projects\CC4_MSP430
All my video transmitter projects will be in C:\Projects\CC4_MSP430\VideoTx
The new project is C:\Projects\CC4_MSP430\VideoTx\VideoTx_01
Inside VideoTx_01 is a directory named "Source" and there is a simple program main.c in Source.  C:\Projects\CC4_MSP430\VideoTx\VideoTx_01\Source
When I used "Add file to Project" the build worked OK.  When I used "Link file to project" I got the following error message:
 
"C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\utils\gmake\gmake: *** No rule to make target `../main.c', needed by `main.obj'."
 
When I open the .project file everything looks correct.  I have attached a Notepad version of the file.
I must be doing something fundamentally wrong, but can not figure out what it is.  Thanks for the help.

Here is the text he attached;

Rafael,

THANKS that answered his question.

However he has another question;

The last thing I need to figure out is how to relocate the vector tables.  I have a bootloader running in upper memory, where the vector table resides.  Using the IAR IDE I was able to use PRAGMA statements to generate pointers to a secondary table down where the application program resides.
I got on the WIKI site but so far have not found an app note on how to do this in CC4.  I will work on this over the weekend, but if you already know how to do this it would save me some time.  I have attached the two IAR modules that work with that IDE.
Thanks again for the help with the linking problem and please also thank the TI applications guy.

Rafael,

Can I attach files??
