Export Example Includes Linked Files

Hello,

I'm trying to export an example project for the STM32F429I-EVAL1 (to work on it).

The example works fine but when I export it :

- Either I get all the directories and the .c files BUT no includes at all

or 

- I get all the directories but no files at all.

I know that it's using links from the .cproject (& .project) but I just want to dissociate the project from the rest of the examples so that I can work on it separately. (and not have all those directories at the root of my working folder like it's the case in the cubemxf4 folder).

Edit : I'm using Atollic TrueStudio to work (and do the exports)

Thanks for your help

Jules

It looks like the problem exists since 2016 but never fixed.

Atollic's import/export of projects into it's 'workspace' has been a nightmare for longer than that, perhaps it is an Eclipse thing?

On Keil I can just clone projects into different directories, paths are relative, and project files in XML/ASCII so can edit them, or automate.

I have to, I'm adviced to use Atollic so I'll have to find a way using that beautiful IDE 

:)

.

Maybe I could use Eclipse source code and import it into Atollic ?

Their way (STM) of including files / linking files is pretty good to reduce the size of the zip file but terrible for us, users.

May I import from Keil to Attolic then ?

Exactly, I imported all the .c files but have trouble finding .h / linking them . I guess that has to be done anyways. 

Also I've read somewhere that it's not like that for projects generated by CubeMX nowadays, maybe someone has any infos on this?

Include files are typically pulled at compile time via search using Include Path settings. Some tools will generate a dependency tree/list in the output directory.

I see.

Is there any way I could use CubeMX to generate again the example ?

I just finished including all the files (.c & .h) and everything works fine for now so I guess it no more is a problem for me but if it could help someone else !
