Forum Topic - Creating system builder project from existing build file and search paths: (4 Items)
   
Creating system builder project from existing build file and search paths  
I am using the 4.6.0 Momentics IDE.When I import a BSP from a local archive it creates 2 projects. The source for the 
BSP and a system builder project. If a try to create a system builder project from the "build" file that is in the BSP 
source, a system builder project is created but it is missing a bunch of search path entries and the resulting system 
builder project is essentially useless. It is too hard to add all the missing search paths.

Is there anyway to easily create a usable system builder project from the "build" file without having to do a full 
import from a local archive file?

Thanks.
Re: Creating system builder project from existing build file and search paths  
Hi, John,

The BSP import wizard already did that for you in the System Builder 
project that it created.

Do you need to create a second System Builder project, or can you just 
use the one that the wizard created?  If you do need a second project, 
you can copy the .sysbldr_meta file from the project that the import 
wizard created into your new System Builder project.

HTH,

Christian

Re: Creating system builder project from existing build file and search paths  
I was trying to make changes to the existing "build" file and then wanted to try them out to make sure they were made 
correctly. I can create the bsp zip file and import it all from scratch but I was wondering if there was an easier way. 


I am puzzled as to why the import of the zip file creates all the needed search path entries but the create from the "
build" file does not. It seems that both methods need the search path entries.

Hi, John,

I see.  The BSP import wizard knows that it is creating a System Builder 
project for a BSP, and therefore that it needs these search paths.

The simple New System Builder project doesn't understand that the build 
file it's importing is in a BSP project (you'll notice that it was 
designed for importing from the filesystem outside of the the IDE 
workspace).  It could try to more clever about recognizing the 
circumstances of that build file ...

For now, copying the .sysbldr_meta file is your best option.

Cheers,

Christian
