Pre-make facilities?

Geert Vancompernolle

Hello,

In the uVision2 IDE, it's possible to have post-make facilities. Is there a way to have pre-make facilities too?

Rgds,

Geert

    This has been discussed before.

    uVision works through the Groups in a Project from top to bottom, and the files within each Group from top to bottom.

    Therefore, if you want something to happen right at the start of a build, you need to put it at the start of the first Group in the Project.
    Unfortunately, uVision's capabilities for organising such things are quite limited - you may well end up having to manually hack the .uv2 file. :-(
    (been there, done that).

    As Erik Malund often points out, that's the trouble with so-called IDEs - they attempt to be Jacks of all trades, but end up masters of none.
    If you really need to do this sort of stuff, you probably need to get a proper make tool.
