Environment Macros

You can use macros in your environment settings, as listed in the following listing.

MyVAR=C:\test
TEXTPATH=$(MyVAR)\txt

OBJPATH=${MyVAR}\obj

In the example above, TEXTPATH is expanded to C:\test\txt and OBJPATH is expanded to C:\test\obj. You can use $() or ${}. However, the referenced variable must be defined.

Special variables are also allowed (special variables are always surrounded by {} and they are case-sensitive). In addition, the variable content contains the directory separator `\'. The special variables are:

• {Compiler}

  That is the path of the executable one directory level up if the executable is C:\Freescale\prog\linker.exe, and the variable is C:\Freescale\.

• {Project}

  Path of the current project file. This is used if the current project file is C:\demo\project.ini, and the variable contains C:\demo\.

• {System}

  This is the path where your Windows system is installed, e.g., C:\WINNT\.
