Notes on Using High-performance Embedded Workshop (IDE)
--Problems with Projects and Builds--


Please take note of the following problems in using High-performance Embedded Workshop:*
  • With customizing of linkage order
  • With using Custom Project Types
  • With using functions for sharing projects by network facilities
*High-performance Embedded Workshop is bundled with the compilers and other software products that it manages.

1. Problem with Customizing of Linkage Order
1.1 Description
    If you add object files and library files to the objects to be linked 
    by the optimizing linkage editor and change linking order using the
    capability of customizing of linkage order in High-performance Embedded 
    Workshop, build may not perform the linking of objects in the specified 
    order.

1.2 Condition
    This problem occurs when you use the optimizing linkage editor in the 
    C/C++ compiler package for the SuperH MCU family or the one for the 
    H8SX, H8S, and H8 MCU families.

1.3 Workaround
    Perform the following procedure. If you perform this once, no problem 
    will occur every time you change linking order. 
    (1) Open the Build menu and select the Linkage Order command. The 
        Linkage Order dialog box appears.
    (2) Click the OK button. (At this time you can change or need not 
        to change linking order.)
    (3) Open the Build menu and select the Build All command.

1.4. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
     This problem has been fixed in High-performance Embedded Workshop 
     V.4.04.00, which was released in this December 16.
     For details of High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.04.00, see 
     RENESAS TOOL NEWS Document No. 071216/tn5, published on December 16, 
     2007, in this series of news.

2. Problem with Using Custom Project Types
2.1 Description
    New projects can easily be created by using a Custom Project Type 
    (a template for creating new projects), which is created from an 
    original project.
    When you create a project using a Custom Project Type, incorrect 
    paths of source files may be registered in the project.

2.2 Condition
    This problem occurs if you use a Custom Project Type created from 
    an original project whose source files are not under the Projects 
    directory.

2.3 Workaround
    Use Custom Project Types created from original projects whose source 
    files are under the Projects directory.

2.4. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
     This problem has been fixed in High-performance Embedded Workshop 
     V.4.04.00, which was released in this December 16.
     For details of High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.04.00, see 
     RENESAS TOOL NEWS Document No. 071216/tn5, published on December 16, 
     2007, in this series of news.

3. Problem with Using Functions for Sharing Projects by Network Facilities
3.1 Description
    When you use functions for sharing projects by network facilities in 
    High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.02.00 or V.4.03.00, the IDE 
    may abnormally be terminated.

    To check for the version number of your High-performance Embedded 
    Workshop, open the Help menu and select the About High-performance 
    Embedded Workshop command.

3.2 Solution
    This problem has been fixed in High-performance Embedded Workshop 
    V.4.04.00, which was released in this December 16.
    For details of High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.04.00, see 
    RENESAS TOOL NEWS Document No. 071216/tn5, published on December 16, 
    2007, in this series of news.
