I appreciate the quick response.
So choose custom makefile (eventhough I need to execute a batch file). But what setting menu are you referring to ?
In BuildOptions--> Release--> Pre/Post build steps I can get it to execute a .bat file (and check 'always execute, even....'). Is this what you mean ?
That (partly) works. However I need to change the working folder. So I added another pre-build step to do a cd, but that fails.
Running target pre-build steps
cd C:\RAE_Source\Hmx-Mss\MSDevPrj\MssHex
Execution of 'cd C:\RAE_Source\Hmx-Mss\MSDevPrj\MssHex' in 'C:\RAE_Source\Hmx-Mss\CodeBlocks' failed.
Alternatively, I see under Projects->Properties->Build Scripts but that is greyed out with the choice of Custom Makefile.
Again, thanks
