Building AVR Studio 5 Project

[kmjackson]

Hi MArk,

I'm trying to build the Studio 5 uTasker project.  Unfortunately, I'm getting the following error.  I believe it can't find uTaskerBootLoader.o.  I simply downloaded, enter password and tried to build it.  The project is still using the makefile that came with the project.  Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Kenneth

Hi

One possibility is that the directory

\Applications\uTaskerBoot\GNU_AVR32\Build is missing or maybe it has been deleted.

The make file wants to put its object files there and if it doesn't exist it won't be able to.

However, when I try this I don't get exactly the same error message. However I can otherwise build the boot loader form AVR Studio 5 without any difficulties.

Check also that the file uTaskerBootLoader.c is indeed in \Applications\uTaskerBoot.

Finally, there may be some default paths in AVR Studio that are causing a problem. Try editing the make file to use absolte file path references to see whether you can solve one step, which would then indicate where the confusion lies. If you can prove that absolute paths are Ok you will need to search to see whether there are any path settings in AVR Studio that are causing it to work at a different location to the expected one.

Regards

Ok, problem fixed.  I'm using Studio 5.1 and I needed to change the paths for make.exe and the AVRToolchain as followed:

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:/Program Files/Atmel/AVR Studio 5.1/extensions/Atmel/AVRGCC/3.3.1.27/AVRToolchain/bin
SET PATH=%PATH%;../../../tools
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:/Program Files\Atmel/AVR Studio 5.1/make
make -f make_uTaskerV1.4_GNU_AVR32 all
