Hi all,
I just started working on a project which uses the Dialog DA14583 microcontroller. After downloading the SDK I noticed that the whole SDK is build around Keil. Dialog doesn't support the use of CMake or Makefiles so i'm stuck with Keil. After copying one of the exampleprojects to my gitprojects folder I (unsuprisingly) noticed that the project was using relative paths to the SDK. I've tried to find a way to add Dialog's sdk folder to the search path without success.
Obviously I don't want to copy my projectfolder into the SDK's examplefolder and I also don't want to change all paths to the source files.
How is this normally done?
Regards,
Reinier
Dunno 'bout Dialog specifically, but ......

Actually, that might not be such a bad idea ...
I generally prefer to keep my code in the same "tree" as the SDK - it makes it far easier to share the project, archive it, transfer it, etc ...
As the paths are relative, it shouldn't matter what the "examplefolder" is actually called - you could rename it suitably.

It shouldn't be difficult; as far as the tools are concerned, it's just another Include Path - should work exactly the same as any other include path.
I'd suggest starting with one of their examples. and then examine it to see how they've done it, and work from there.
The uVision project files (.uvprojx; .uvoptx) are just XML files, so can be viewed in any text editor - and it's easy to find editors that will highlight the XML format for you...
So, once you've worked out what needs changing, you can apply the bulk edits in the text editor - rather than having to trawl through GUI dialogues.
Or you can extract the information to other tools ...
Hi Andy,Thanks for your reply! I understand your point about keeping the SDK and project closely together. On the other hand, I have to add a lot of unrelated files to my project (which is under versioncontrol). What I can do is add the SDK as a (git) submodule and change the relative paths to point to the submodule's folder.
Another approach:
Would it be possible to use environment variables inside the project's xml file? In this way I can replace all the relative paths with an environment variable pointing to the SDK. Regards,
I have no idea about environment variables inside the project's xml file(s)!
