Title: File dependency in a project
Post by: fubo on July 21, 2010, 12:01:36 pm

Hi all,

I have a workspace with two projects, A and B. A generates (through a post build command) a binary file, A.bin. I need B (mainly a .s file of B) to be dependent on A.bin. I tried using dependencies into "Properties->Build targets->Dependencies", adding A.bin to "External dependency files", but it does not work (B is not regenerated).

What does "Additional output files" stand for?

Have you tried to setup the project dependencies (Project -> Properties -> Dependencies)?
B should be dependent on A.

Yes and it does not work.

Can you provide a simple test project?

My project is based on ARM RVCT, so there is a custom toolchain configuration.

But I solved the issue in my project in a tricky way...

Can you try reproduce the problem with the x86 gcc?
