Build a VSB with a copy of the vxWorks source tree

[skew]

I'd like to build a VSB, preferably through Workbench, that creates a new source hierarchy of the target directories needed to build. I want to be able to modify them if necessary without touching the originally installed source files.

Ideally, I'd like to check the "Link source" box when creating a VSB but have it copy the sources instead of link to them, and update the build environment accordingly.

Assuming there's no built-in way to do that, what steps would I follow to get it done? So far, I've

1. Created a "Link source" VSB to compare with
2. Created an empty VSB
3. Created folders Sources/h and Sources/src in the empty VSB
4. Run "make" from the command line

It builds a lot of the imported files, but eventually has unresolved errors. The environment variables are still pointing to the original WindRiver directory, so I'm sure there's some conflict there. Before I start to tear everything apart, I thought I'd better ask here first, perhaps there's a set of straight-forward steps to follow.

Thanks.

Hi,

For VxWorks 6.x the only is to copy the installation, create VSB in new installation linked to sources and edit the sources.

It should be noted that this workflow is supported via "Layers" in VxWorks 7.

Well that's too bad, but I suspected it and did it. Thanks for the verification Philippe.
