Re: [cdt-dev] Adding a new tool to MBS

[Chris Recoskie <recoskie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You have to specify in the inputType in question to use a variable.  This
can be whatever name you wish, MBS will generate the makefile such that all
files of that type are assigned to that variable name in the makefile.

Further to this, I found the 'secondaryOutputs' attribute of a toolchain,
which
looks like what I want.

Unfortunately, I can't get it to work for me.

Looking at the generated makefile, it adds a secondary_outputs target which

references a (generated) buildVariable. Unfortunately the buildVariable is
never
assigned, so it doesn't build my secondaryOutput.

I tried using the EXECUTABLES variable but that cause it to build something

called USER_OBJS instead of my target name...

TIA,
