Define from environment variable

[JaSi_1632926]

Hello,

   

I'd like to set a #define in my code (or most likely -D to the compiler) based on an environment variable. It will be used by our continuous integration system to set version that should be compiled into the product.

   

Is there any way to do this? I'm using PSoC Creator 4.0 together with a PSoC 4 (4200 series).

   

Thanks, Jacob

I assume that on your CI system you are calling the compile process via the command line? In that case, you can hand in a define to the compiler via -D.

Hello,
on the CI system I'm building by calling cyprjmgr like this: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\PSoC Creator\4.0\PSoC Creator\bin\cyprjmgr.exe" -wrk WORKSPACE.cywrk -prj "PROJECT" -build

   

Can I pass in -D defines to that?

   

Thanks, Jacob

To get  information on the parameters of the command line compilation, type this command:

   

“[Path of installation folder of Creator]\[version of Creator]\PSoC Creator\bin\cyprjmgr.exe" -h

   

For example, the final command for a 64-bit system could be:

   

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\PSoC Creator\4.0\PSoC Creator\bin\cyprjmgr.exe" -h

Hello,
I can't find any option to cyprjmgr that suits my need. Any idea?

   

Thanks, Jacob

There is not a means to do this in the cyprjmgr tool. To support this flexibility, I would suggest you to choose to export your project as a Makefile and use that file as the basis for your build system. Export to Makefile is a new feature available in PSoC Creator 4.0.

However, you can open the project in PSoC Creator and set the necessary #defines in the project build settings.  These will be used when building the project via prjmgrtool.exe-

Opening the project in PSoC Creator isn't really feasible in an automated build system.

   

I will try the Makefile way.
