Hi,

You can use the "Misc Control" field in the uVision project settings to append gcc specific parameters, for C/C++, linker, and assembler.

I could not find any "import makefile", so it looks like you have to setup defines, paths, and other parameters manually.

Cheers,

Håkon

I'm trying to compile an existing gcc project in Keil uVision5, but having trouble with the makefile.. I don't see where to map some of the directives of the makefile into the gui options.

Well I don't think it's the most used feature in Keil, not a surprise you never heard of it. The fact Keil tends to hide the compiler calls may be for something in the lack of popularity of this so-named gcc support. One more IDE with which I have some kind of love-hate relationship.

hmm.. today i learned something, this is new for me, i do not think anyone in Nordic have tried this option. We either use gcc from command line or armcc to compile from KEIL IDE. Lets see if someone else have tried this option and will be kind enough to post here.

Hello, thanks for answering, however (as seen at the end of my post, I edited it) there seems to be a support option for GCC in Keil. Still I don't really know how to configure it properly to find the same behavior than in Nordic's Makefile, hence the question. Does your answer mean that you weren't aware of this feature, or just that it's pretty much unusable for some reason ?

I wish it could be true that KEIL allowed to configure the compiler but it DOES NOT. KEIL will work only with ARM Compiler. Please look at its home page here. You cannot configure
