IAR Workbench Make help - Douglas - Oct 28 10:26:29 2009
I have programmed PICs for about 20 years but I have never used Make before. My IAR
Workbench compiles and runs whatever changes I make to demo-AP.c. But I can't get it to
use any other source file name. How do I tell Make to use a different source file?
The EW430 User Guide says you can have multiple Projects in a Workspace and multiple builds in a Project (such as Access point & End Device of the eZ430-RF2500 demo), but doesn't say how. I think I want to create a new build in the current Project.

Hi,
Having used PICs a lot, I presume you would have used MPLAB ?
It's a bit the same principle to set new projects or edit existing
projects.
Terminology can vary slightly, but somewhere you should have some means of
viewing the (graphical) hiearchy of your current workspace/project/build.
Your file demo-AP.c. typically would be a 'project node'. So you can add
another node, replace the existing etc. etc.
If you will be using EW430 or any GUI for some time, then you should
consider walking through the help files/docs regarding 'setting up
projects' or some such. Do it once, save yourself (and others) a lot of
time in the long run !!!.

I haven't used MPLAB for years. Unfortunately I have been spoiled by the CCS C compiler that just does what I ask with no Make or Linker in the way.
I did find my answer, with no help from the 540 page user guide, by going through each option of each pull-down tab. What I needed was Project/Add Files to add a new file and RMB Remove to remove an old file. As usual it is obvious in hindsight.
