Custom build step with multiple inputs in IAR


I have a project in IAR Workbench that requires a custom build step to build an intermediate file; this file is put together from a set of other files with a common extension (i.e. there is an intermediate linking step for the input files in a domain specific language).

It appears to me that the "Custom Tool" can only process a single input file at a time; is this true, or is there a checkmark that needs to be set so all files matching the extension list are passed in a single run?


Solution

  • There is no support for having custom build steps which can consume more than one source file at a time. The custom build step works like a compiler, and not like a linker.
