My project resides one a network storage folder, accessable by //BALA/my_project.
The network storage is further linked to a virtual storage device, namely B:
When trying to compile the project, the linking process returns the following error:
...ld.exe could not open /BALA/my_project/STM32F078CBTX_FLASH.ld : File not found
The problem is due to the notation of the absolute path of the linker script inside the Makefile.
arm-none-eabi-gcc -o "MicPcb_Code.elf" @"objects.list" $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS) -mcpu=cortex-m0 -T"\\BALA\my_project\STM32F078CBTX_FLASH.ld" --specs=nosys.specs -Wl,-Map="MicPcb_Code.map" -Wl,--gc-sections -static --specs=nano.specs -mfloat-abi=soft -mthumb -Wl,--start-group -lc -lm -Wl,--end-group
The double backslash at the beginning of the path is interpret as escaped backslash during the execution of ld and hence, leads to an path starting with a single backslash and hence is invalid.
The solution is, however, quite simple! In the Makefile either use -T"\\\\BALA\my_project\STM32F078CBTX_FLASH.ld", which results into the proper path after interpretation of escaping, or use single quotation marks, namely -T'\\\\BALA\my_project\STM32F078CBTX_FLASH.ld'
Probably similar error messages can occur when using header locations on networks storages with paths given in UNC format.
Could you include the fix to the Makefile generation?
