Hello All, I have an up and running batchfile (please refer to my earlier request), to compile, link and creat a hex file from the command prompt. I want to migrate onto 'using minimum tool installation' i.e. to build using a batchfile without the entire KEIL installation on my PC. (1) What would I require as minimum tool installation? (2) What are the precautions or procedures that I follow and observe?? Thanking you in advance. Kathy. /**********************************/ Message posted on 01/16/06 " I am trying to understand how to build a uv2 project from command line. Presently when the (eg test.uv2) project is clicked open, it defaults to the uv2 IDE for build, compile and link. Is there any way,that a project can be built, compiled and linked from command line without resorting to the IDE? The idea is that someone without a knowledge of the IDE, should simply be able to compile the project with a given set of instructions."
"And was forced to use the dongle (why cant life be fair at times)" What's unfair about that? You have purchased a licence to use a single copy of the Keil tools - the dongle is just enforcing the terms of that licence! In many ways, a dongle is a much fairer way of enforcing the licence terms - it allows you to install the software on every single PC in your facility, if you want, but only actually use the number of copies that you've paid for! If you want more copies of the tools, you must buy more licences! You can see the various Keil product offerings here: http://www.keil.com/c51/ You need to speak to your local Keil distributor - you never know, they might be open to negotiate some sort of a deal for you...?
