Segger Embedded Studio relative paths

[xcipolesv]

Hi,

I would like to add source files to Projects with a reltive path.
The reason being that I would like to have my own code in a cloud based directory and code from SDK in a local directory.
It would also ease moving development between different computers where SDK might be installed on different paths.

If I add a source file with the IDE it Always seems to get a absolute path.

Any tips?

To clearify a bit. What I would like to do is to have a macro so path to source file becomes something like $(SDK)/components/boards/boards.c

Hi,

Please open the *.emProject file in a text editor to confirm whether the source paths are relative or absolute. I tried the same here with SES and relative paths were used both when I added existing and new source files.

Sorry, I expressed myself a bit misleading.
I noticed that there where relative paths also.
But what I would like to is lika I clearified above. To have source files from, for example SDK, be related to a macro so that if I have SDK stored in a other directory on a different computer the macro could have a different value, not the path to every source file.

Is there a macro expansion performed when the Project file is loaded?

Thanks for the clarification It is possible to define your own macros: select Tools from the menu bar in SES,  then open options -> Building -> Build -> Global macros. 

e.g., 

Once you have defined the macro you need to manually update the source paths.I think the easiest way of doing that is to do a 'search and replace' in your *.emProject file.
