Vs .net

[kirkb]

The Brew 1.1 documentation refers to toolbars for compiling and creating makefiles for ARM. I'm using VS .NET. Does that mean that I will have to create my own makefiles and manually compile for ARM? Should I install VS 6? Anyone running VS. NET & VS 6 on the same system? Anymore questions?

THANKS!

If the installer didn't automatically add the items to your toolbar, it's pretty simple to add them manually with from the customize menu. I haven't bothered. I'm still using VS6 and the installer only put a couple user-defined tools on the Tools menu, but i never use them.

Both tools, "BREW ARM Make" and "BREW ARM Make clean", invoke armcompile.exe in your SDK bin directory. The argument is either "$(TargetName).mak" or "$(TargetName).mak clean".

You have to write the makefile. Look for a sample makefile in the BREW 2.0 SDK that uses multiple source files and use it as your template.

BREW SDK would not create tool bar for VS.NET environment. But you can integrate arm compilation mechanism with VS.NET environment. see the following post

for reference make file, you can get it from BREW sdk. In BREW 2.1 SDK there are two reference makefile template for C and C++ compilation. I am not sure if that exists in BREW 1.1 SDK, alternatively you can see makefile for examples.

oh cool, good to know, i haven't looked at the 2.1 SDK yet.

i meant to say, it's easier if you don't start with the example makefiles in the 1.1 SDK because those all only deal with a single source file, and it'll take you longer to get it working for your project.
