$object location for file on separate drive

(1/1)

dfatcb:
Hello,

I have a source module (happens to be .asm, but think this applies to all types) that is on a different drive X:.  So I add that file to the project and when it builds it ends up creating subfolders for the file under the output target object folder as in X\path\filename.obj  .  Is there an option to have it output the .obj file to the normal object output folder without creating all the sub-folders?

Thanks.

Freem:
You will need to change destination of objects files.
This option is in project's options -> build targets -> objects output dir

Obviously, C::B will change that for all sources of the defined target.
If you need such behavior for a subset of sources, you will need to define new targets for each subset. Or maybe you can write scripts, but it will probably be harder.

Jenna:
You can try what happens, if you check "Generate extended object names" on the "Project settings"-tab (first tab) of the projects properties.

I'm not on windows at the moment and can not test.
