Hi Delicia,
You shouldn’t be specifying multipleOfType=”true” in this case, but I don’t know if removing that will solve
the problem.

Subject: [cdt-dev] assignToOption
for inputType element
I have a situation where I need to use a custom linker script (which
gets built as a pre-link step).
We do this by using the -T linker flag : cragcc a.o b.o -T
<linker_script_name.ld>
This is the case only for special projects that use multiple processors.
After having a look at the MBS documentation, I figured, the best way
to do this, would be to use the "assignToOption" field of the
inputType element.
<inputType
assignToOption="cra.c.link.option.linkerscript" //This option
has <command="-T">
buildVariable="LDSCRIPT"
id="cradle.toolchain.c.linker.input3"
multipleOfType="true"
sources="ld">
</inputType>
As per the documentation, whenever a linker input of this type
($LDSCRIPT) is found, the flag "-T" should be prepended to the
filename.
My makefile shows that this is exactly what happens.
However, my problem is that the dependencies for this step go for a
toss.
$(LDSCRIPT) is the buildVariable for the pre-link step, so this should
get built first - which happens if I remove the "assignToOption" from
the above description.
Once this assignToOption is added, the prelink step doesn't happen, and
it seems like the $LDSCRIPT variable does *not* even get defined (apparent from
the final build step.
I even tried adding LDSCRIPT to the 'builder's' reservedMacroNames but
that didn't help.
Is there a known bug of this type? Any other workaround I could use?
