$(IntDir) modifications are not working with VisualGDB generated Makefile

[helpme]

I am having problems with changing the Output Directory and Intermediate Directory settings in Visual Studio which in turn creates Makefiles for Linux using WSL.

The default OutDir is: $(SolutionDir)$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\.  I changed OutDir to $(SolutionDir)..\..\linux\$(Configuration)\

Then IntDir to: $(OutDir)\obj\$(ProjectName)\

This causes issues when building where it lists all of the files in the project and says, “foo1.cpp, foo2.cpp share the same object file name (../../../../linux/Debug/obj/fooproject). This will result in link-time errors. Please rename the files or change the object file names for them.”

Then there are errors for each file in the Makefile:

1>C:\dev\src\dir1\dir2\fooproject\..\..\..\..\linux\Debug\obj\fooproject\fooproject.msbuild-mak(28): warning :  overriding recipe for target ‘UpdateRSP/../../../../linux/Debug/obj/fooproject’

If you look in the fooproject.msbuild-mak you see that it isn’t compiling the individual cpp files, instead there are hundreds of targets for the exe fooproject:

UpdateRSP/../../../../linux/Debug/obj/fooproject:
$(_V)echo “-I./ -IC:\dev\src\dir1\dir2\fooproject/ -ggdb -O0 -DDEBUG=1 -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections  ” > ../../../../linux/Debug/obj/fooproject.gcc.rsp-new
$(_V)cmp -s ../../../../linux/Debug/obj/fooproject.gcc.rsp-new ../../../../linux/Debug/obj/fooproject.gcc.rsp || cp ../../../../linux/Debug/obj/fooproject.gcc.rsp-new ../../../../linux/Debug/obj/fooproject.gcc.rsp

 

Thanks,

Jon

Hi,

This could happen if the $(IntDir) variable did not have a trailing backslash. Please double-check that your settings include it. If this doesn’t help, please try attaching a minimal repro project and we will investigate it.

Hello,

I have the same problem after changing the intermediate directory. I double-checked the variable $(IntDir) and it has a trailing backslash.

Following change on General->Intermediate Directory:

old: $(Platform)\$(Configuration)\

new: $(SolutionDir)$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\

checking variable $(IntDir) for both changes:

old: VisualGDB\Debug\

new: E:\GIT\MCF_InDev\MCF\Target\TEST_STM32F303_xE\TST_ProDevisDevelopment\Firmware\TST_ProDevisDevelopment_STM32F303RETx\VisualGDB\Debug\

The *.vcproj file holds the following lines:
<PropertyGroup Condition=”‘$(Configuration)|$(Platform)’==’Debug|VisualGDB'”>
<GNUConfigurationType>Debug</GNUConfigurationType>
<ToolchainID>com.visualgdb.arm-eabi</ToolchainID>
<ToolchainVersion>7.2.0/8.0.1/r2</ToolchainVersion>
<GNUTargetType>StaticLibrary</GNUTargetType>
<IntDir>$(SolutionDir)$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\</IntDir>
</PropertyGroup>
Compiling a single file, results in following output:
1>—— Erstellen gestartet: Projekt: HAL_BASE_STM32F303_xE_VS, Konfiguration: Debug VisualGDB ——
1> startup_stm32f303xe.c
1> Assembler messages:
1>GCCCOMPILE : Fatal error : can’t create ../../../../Target/TEST_STM32F303_xE/TST_ProDevisDevelopment/Firmware/TST_ProDevisDevelopment_STM32F303RETx/VisualGDB/Debug: Permission denied
========== Erstellen: 0 erfolgreich, 1 fehlerhaft, 0 aktuell, 0 übersprungen ==========
It seems, that there is something wrong on creating the relative path.

Thanks

Stefan

Hi,

Thanks, we have reproduced it and fixed it in this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.4.1.2127.msi
