Hi Derek,

Does the com.crt.exe.type content-type include the .axf extension?

Yes it does.


Your multipleOfType for the input-type should be set to 'false'.
If I set it to false, then my new build step never happens. i.e. if I set it to true, you get the makefiles I sent. If you set it to false, any refeence to objcopy disappears... 


Your targetTool should be set to
'com.crt.cdt.managedbuild.tool.gnu.cpp.objcopy.exe.debug'.  Note that
this will make the target name and ext entered by the user be applied
to the output of 'objcopy'.
I wanted this to be a secondaryOutput, which is why I did it my way. However, I get substantially the same results if I do this - objcopy only gets it's outputfile, no inputfiles. 



If that is not what you want, i.e., if your users think of the "target"
as the output of the Link step, then you may want to look into using
a custom post-build step to call 'objcopy'.
I have added a "DCBS" postbuildStep to a Configuration, which does execute. However, I would like to provide a tool configuration dialog so that (for example) the user can select the type of output produced by objcopy (srec, ihex, tekhex etc). 

Is there any better documentation other than that added to bug 88922?

I would like to be able to add a PRCBS to a built resource...

Leo,

Attached is the Debug directory, including all the generated make info
for the tool definition snippet below. There were 2 .c files in the build. 

Thanks for your help.
