  • [SOLVED] "External Build" macro fail on Ubuntu

    Hello,
    I am setting my build environment on ubuntu 20.xx
    Always linking fails with the following asterisk expression in command, *.o".
    For example in "Code --> External Build --> Link Command", 'gcc "*.o" -o "output".
    If I directly use the commands from "export build", there is no error.

    How can I handle this?

    FYI, the original macro and error are as follows:

    External Build Macro (C++ Link Macro) :
    "$(ToolChainDir)/arm-none-eabi-gcc" -mcpu=cortex-m4 -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 -mthumb -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,-static -Wl,-n -g -nostdlib -o "$(SolutionDir)/output/linker/$(SolutionName)_fw2.elf" "$(SolutionDir)/output/compiler/*.o" "$(SolutionDir)/../../lib/dwm.o" "$(SolutionDir)/../../lib/libdwm.a" -nostartfiles -L "$(SolutionDir)/../../lib" -Wl,-Map,"$(SolutionDir)/output/linker/$(SolutionName)_fw2.map" -T "$(SolutionDir)/../../lib/target_s132_fw2.ld" -lm -lgcc -lc -lnosys
    ==> "$(SolutionDir)/output/compiler/*.o" --> this causes the error.

    Error :
    Linking 'dwm-api-test_fw2.elf' (1 error)
    /home/test/workspace/dwm/examples/dwm-api-test/output/compiler/*.o: No such file or directory
    Build Failed

    ** additional question
    Where can I set $(Objects) variable?

    Please help me :(

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    How macros can be defined is explained here:
    studio.segger.com/index.htm?ht…om/ide_project_macros.htm

    Regarding the *.o, make sure this is supported by the Linker you are using. Embedded Studio will simply pass this 1 to 1 to the Linker. Wildcards will not be resolved by Embedded Studio.

    Best regards,
    Nino
