My observation about CL Compiler setup

[hbr_in]

Side note: Please dont write in CAPS

My Bad. I am really sorry. will not repeat.

The compiler *always* starts from the project directory - and there is no way to change it.

OK i got it now.

What will not happening? I was simply explained to you that the makeDirStep is not being called when executing target other than the 'all' target -

Code: Select all

"C:/cygwin/bin/make.EXE"  -j 1 -f "prj_bootloader.mk" type=Release C:/prj/sd_fat/testing/bootloader/prj/Release/command.o

since "C:/prj/sd_fat/testing/bootloader/prj" was my working directory & not prj directory, i said the previous command was not happening.

this one is a bug in CL (which I already fixed in SVN)

I saw that. Thanks

since he was never designed to do so.

Aren't compilers "SHE"

The build process works like this:
cd to workspace directory - executes makefile
makefile: cd project directory
execute project makefile
The key word here is 'executed program' --> I was referring to the output of the build, (e.g. the executable)
Eran

Ok i got it now. sorry for all these mess. So basically working directory is where u put ur final executable program for debugging.
