PSoC Creator & Designer Software

[Anonymous]

        Hello all, I am fairly new to the PSoc Creator software, still finding my way with it. Problem is as follows, I have code that works, and now i want to send my project but need to keep source closed. Figured out that compiled sources are .a, but how to add them to project (instead of the source code). Did poke around Linker Additional libraries but no luck. Best Regards

When you do the project archive you can always delete the source files from

   

the archive.

 How about just send the hex file?

        Hello, @Dana Person I'm sending the project needs to continue working, and will only utilize functions and procedures from (closed source) unit via header file. I'm not sure will the compile if i remove the source code (unit is added in Source Files)? @H L as I mentioned before work needs to continue on the project.

 You mean that the other people will continue to developed the project. Is this correct? 

   

And you only want them to call your functions without giving them the c source file.

You can distribute the compiled files + headers and have you tried adding them using the "aditional link files" option?

 If your code is self contained then I think the best option is to make a library.

   

On PSOC Creator select File ---> new ---> Project

   

Click on "Other " tab and select Library

       

add or copy your files there

   

then you just distribute the library without souce

Yes, you understood correctly.

After more "digging" I came to the same solution. I did try adding the file in Additional Libraries but no success.

   

I'm confused why it is not possible to easily include compiled files in the project, well it will have to be done through library.

   

Thank you all for your help, I consider this topic closed
