Hi all,

Do you know, is it possible to regenerate .mmp file from .mcp file?
I made many changes in my project, working with the CodeWarrior IDE, and currently my old .mmp file is unadequate. Thus, I can't use it for command line compilation (bldmake bldfiles ; abld build).

In the CW I don't see option to save project as .mmp file. "Export Project" creates xml files only.

Actually, I wish to make .def file. Currently I need .mmp for this purpose only. As far as I know, it is not possible to make .def file from CW IDE. Is this true?

There is no MMP exporter in CW. You should modify your MMP file then re-import the project (Project > Re-Import Project...). To create a .def file, the .def file should be in your project (just make an empty file with .def extension, e.g. mydef.def) then choose Project > Freeze Exports when you are ready to expose the interfaces and the .def file will be upated for you.

Cheers,
Tim

Thanks Tim!  Smiley

Currently my CW for Symbian is relatively old (2.0) and maybe for this reason I haven't "Freeze Exports" in a Project menu. "Re-Import Project..." is missing too, there is "Re-search for files". I don't know is this a synonym for "re-import" in my version. But no problems, thanks again!

No it is not possible to generate a MMP from the MCP.
You have to decide how you will work (i.e. using a MMP you will reimport each time you need it or just using the MCP file).

The MMP reimport features appeared in 2.8 as a thrill_seeker and is standard since CW 3.0 (same for Freeze Exports).

Just get the upgrade if it is free.... or you want to stick with CW. Carbide.C++ (Eclipse based) is about to be available!

The upgrade is not free.
Carbide.C++ : now I read press releases; sounds very interesting...
