Post build steps [message #1703973]

Hello all,

I'm trying to adjust my makefile with some post build steps. However I'm running in 2 problems.

First thing i want to do is to compress the output via a program of mine, but it is not accepting the eclipse variables it seems

	-$(proj_dir)/tn_mkimg.exe $(EXE_DIR)/$(PROJECTNAME).bin buildno.txt $(EXE_DIR)/$(PROJECTNAME)_load.bin.lz

The program I'm trying to use is situated in the root of my project. This is the output obtained:

make --no-print-directory post-build
/tn_mkimg.exe /.bin buildno.txt /_load.bin.lz
make[1]: /tn_mkimg.exe: Command not found
make[1]: [post-build] Error 127 (ignored)

I believe that the makerscript constants (What are they actually called?) are not working as i would like.

My second problem is using multiple commands as post build. How can this be achieved? A semicolon is not working, and neither is an ampersand

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Elmar

Did you get any solution for Multi Post Build Commands. I am also stuck
at the same step.

There doesn't seem to be any context in your post so a lot of guessing is necessary.
Where is the post build step you've shown coming from?
The C/C++ Build ==>Settings ==> Build Steps tab?

If so:

tilde (if that's the first character -- they don't display in this forum) is a shell thing and won't necessarily expand to your home path. There is a $(HOME) variable (in my projects anyway) which is actually an environment variable and may not be set in yours. If it is, use it instead. Also, you probably meant tilde/$(proj_dir) instead of tilde$(proj_dir).

Is $(proj_dir) actually defined? It isn't in my projects. But I do have a variable $(ProjPathDir).

To view what is available go to Project Properties ==> C/C++ Build ==> Build Variables and set the Show System Variables checkbox at the bottom. For Eclispe dynamic variables you may have to pretend to edit them just to view them.

If necessary, you can add variables.

Does this help?
