Makefiles

Makefiles describe the relationship between the files in your application program, and provide commands for updating these files.

When you create a Standard project, makefiles are built for you using the RealView Debugger templates. You can edit the RealView Debugger templates to customize your build process, for example, to use specific source control.

When the project properties have been configured, RealView Debugger uses a template file named gen_***.mk to generate the makefile for the project. Template files are installed depending on your license and whether you choose a Custom or Typical installation type.
