Feeding linker script to LD, Sourcery G++ toolchain, Cortex-M3 target

[pkrcel]

Hi there,
 I am migrating a simple project for my cortex-M3 target to C::B from Raisonance's RIDE.

So far I have been successful, but for one thign, I do not know how to feed the linker with a custom linker script.
By all means it is no custom but the standard linker script for ST Microelectronics STM32F10x ARM-Cortex-M3 devices.

I think I could do it with the "other options" tab under compiler/linker settings, and feed the linker with -T<scriptfile> (or better -WL,.T<scriptfile>, but I am somewhat confident there are other methods, since I may use two different scripts, and I would like not to use several build targets, and I am not all *that* keen on using C::B yet.

(To those who may wonder, my app is a very simple demo so basically all the code can reside in the taregt SRAM, since it's way less that 0x5000 in size).

Cheers
-Andy

EDIT: to many typos

If you don't want separate build targets, all that's left is using a global compiler variable for the script file's name. Look at the Wiki for a description of them.

Thanks a lot Thomas, I actually tried both ways and I defined LDSCRIPT gloabl variable, feeding -T$(LDSCRIPT) to the linker, this works clean&fast.

Althou, I have to reconsider using build targets...cause I have the ffeling It will be a bit more straightforward when I'll have to handle different board configurations.

Thanks again for your help

Cheers

Build targets are the "natural" thing for that, yes.

Hehe, at least I've figured it out..I guess chances I get a bit more used to C::B are fairly high.  :wink:
