6 Working Visual Workbench and Development Kit
Advantages and disadvantages of a makefile project
All of the components of the application subtree (such as texts) to be
updated are generated automatically from a single point.
\proj\makefile updates the entire application and transfers it to the run-
time directory \bin. No intermediate steps are omitted.
The searching of the directory structure always requires a certain
amount of time.
A slightly longer output must be checked for relevant warnings, errors
cancel the operation.
Reduce the amount of changing between makefiles
One work method for changing between \proj\makefile (if you modify
texts) or proj\dat\makefile (if you leave texts unmodified) and
\proj\app\obj_c800\app.mak combines the above advantages and
minimizes the disadvantages.
The last four edited projects are offered at the bottom of the menu when
the <Project> menu item is selected.
Creating a new .c- file from a template:
The temp_w.c template files with preparations for an underlying window
in application configuration are located in \proj\app\src. See Section 4.5.
Adding a .c file to the application
Open the project \proj\app\obj_c800\app.mak.
Select <Project> -> <Edit>
Select the file to be added in the selection window and add it to the
project by clicking <ADD>.
The dependencies of the files belonging to the project are regenerated.
Note: The Workbench only searches directories which are entered
under <Options> <Directories> during initialization of the Workbench.
Unfortunately, there is no warning if an include file is not found within
these paths.
Regenerating the dependencies
As soon as you add another include statement to a c file you have to
regenerate the dependencies.
Open the project to which the c file belongs.
Start <Project> <Scan All Dependencies>.
The dependencies are saved in the .mak file when you close the project
or exit the Workbench.
Unfortunately, the Workbench does not offer an explicit 'Project Save'
command.
The occasions on which data are saved and the amount of data saved
are not fully documented.
In order to save new data, dependencies, open file windows, etc., you
should save your work after certain important steps (e.g. Project Edit)
by closing and then reopening the project.
