Problem with Tool variables

(1/2) > >>

DoMeN:
I want to put output executable file name in Parameters text box in edit tool menu and I tried out all variable names that I found that I thought that would do the trick but unfortunately none of them sim to work  :( I'm not sure if I missed one of the variables or if this is even possible at the moment. I'm using Linux FC5 and I'm not using latest night builds.

you can use the Tools Menu and pass the macros

$(TARGET_OUTPUT_DIR)
$(TARGET_OUTPUT_FILE)


e.g.

Executable: usr/bin/Simulatorxy
Parameters: flags, $(TARGET_OUTPUT_DIR)$(TARGET_OUTPUT_FILE)


you need to activate the target in order to get the filename

What do you mean by that? I compile the project and if I write the filename directly in the parameters field it works but if I write $(TARGET_OUTPUT_FILE) instead then it doesn't work. It seems as if this variable would return an empty string.

Try $([your_target_name]_OUTPUT_FILE) replacing [your_target_name] with, err, your target's name (title, e.g. default).

use Menu Build -> Select target ... -> choose your target
or
use the "Build target" dopdown list and select (==activate) your target
