Command line options for ARM Workbech IDE?

Landon

Does anyone know where I can find a list of command line options for ARM Workbench IDE (awide) 4.0? So far I have only been able to find how to open a workspace using the -data option in the ARM Workbench IDE User Guide. Ideally I am looking for a -build option.

Thanks!

    I've had a trawl through the docs to see if I can find a definitive list, but with no luck. I'll ask around and see if anyone remembers.

    Thanks,

    Joe

    My colleague sellis found a list of command line options (generic to Eclipse CDT), which are documented in this thread: DS-5 How to create makefiles

    This was specific to DS-5, though there's a chance that the same -build option will work in AWIDE-4.0:

    -build {projectName[/configName] | all}

    Build the project with the specified name, or all projects in the workspace. By default this builds all the configurations within each project. You can limit this action to a single configuration, such as Debug or Release, by specifying the configuration name immediately after the project name, separated with ‘/’. Use this option multiple times to build multiple projects.

    Hope this helps,

    Joe

    Thanks for the link Joe,

    It appears the commands in the link work. However, the build command is still not starting the build process which I believe could be related to an error in the command prompt: "Failed to get a license for "rvp_gui" from...". I can't seem to find any info on this rvp_gui error though. What also is strange is that once the IDE is open I can manually start the build process so it is properly getting the remote license at that point.

    No problem - you may need to contact license support in case it is actually the license causing the problem. Though, as you mention, if it's working correctly once you've opened the IDE then it might be something else.

    Just out of curiosity, are you using this old IDE to access a specific compiler toolchain? It's possible to install older versions of the ARM Compiler to work with DS-5.

    Thanks Joe,

    We will be moving to DS-5 soon and I think this will solve the problems.
