MPLAB Setup Path

Everyone knows that when compiling a program in the MPLAB environment, c files, h files, files generated by the compiler, etc. will be ruthlessly placed in a project folder by the compiler.

A programmer who is a little bit particular may feel that the MPLAB project organization is a mess. So everyone thought of a way, which is to classify the files in the project into different folders to form a clear project tree.

Methods as below:

Right click "Project" -> "Build Options" -> "Directories" -> "Show directories for"

Select

and set the output file path to "F:2.DCCP LED DriverOUTPUT"

Select and set the source file path to "F:2.DCCP LED Drivercode"

Compile and try to see if it succeeds. If it succeeds, then congratulations, you have learned how to do this.

But at the same time, I also want to ask a question: What if the path where the project is located changes? (For example, the project is copied from F drive to E drive) How can I make the project work wherever it is placed?

Next we need to introduce relative paths...

In your environment directory, just make the following changes

1. Remove the parent directory and add "./"

2. Change "" to "/"

for example:

Original path "F:2.DCCP LED DriverOUTPUT"

Now changed to "./OUTPUT"

Original path "F:2.DCCP LED Drivercode"

Now changed to "./code"

This method does not require you to create a folder when you start building a project, because if no folder is specified, the system will automatically assign one!
