Hi all, Im currently looking for a new development system and found Keil (who dont *grin*) appealing. 1. When we end a project we useually do a backup on a CDROM or tape. In this backup we include our compiler and other tools so we are able to remake the project without having to install all the tools again (We still need the dongle, ofcause). Can Keil work from the command line without it being installed or do it need to enter all kinds of crap in the registry (IAR works without being installed *grin* as long as the dongle is there) 2. Further more I wonder if the c-preprocessor is able to generate depencency information for the make process. The GNU C compiler does this very nicely (IAR dont, :( ). 3. Lastly I wonder if there is a Linx version planned? Regards Henrik Holm
1. The Keil compiler, assembler, linker, etc are all command-line tools - so you can build from the command-line if you want. You might want to create a makefile in the usual way. uVision displays the command-line options at the bottom of each of the Target Options pages. Note that you can also invoke uVision to build from the command line - see Chapter 12 of the "Getting Started and Creating Applications" User's Guide 06.2000. Keil does very little to the Registry - not even enough that you get a proper name for the filetype in Explorer. :-( (it still just says "UV2 file") Have you tried just copying the files? 2. Dunno, but you could always use A.N. Other's preprocessor to do it. It's often useful to "wrap" compiler-specific features to make porting to another compiler simpler. 3. No idea.
No Linux versions of the Keil tools are planned.
