How do you specify relative filenames in Studio?
When specifying project files, e.g. Add Existing Source File(s)" Studio seems to create an absolute path.
So when I move the whole project to a friend's machine, he has to re-specify the location of the source files because the project file (".aps") contains absolute references. Is there a simple workaround?
Thanks,
Do a search on this forum -- this subject comes up about once a month.
The short answer is: Known bug: The current AVR Studio cannot handle relative paths in the general case.
Of course, you can always go to an external Makefile (highly recommended, by the way - check out MFile from WinAVR) to support relative source trees (and to create an object directory for compiled components). But even so, you will still have to refer to the files directly in AVR Studio. And it's best if the final destination files (MyProject.elf, MyProject.hex, . . .) reside in the project's home directory.
Of course, that just my opinion. I could be wrong.

What I did is create a folder in MyDocuments that says AVR. Then, every time i create a new project i point studio to save the project in a subfolder in AVR. Now, when i transfer to another machine i simply create an AVR folder in mydocs, and copy the subfolder.
Works like a charm.
I do not know how it would work in Linux though

:oops: I did search the forum for clues - miraculously managing to avoid using the appropriate search terms. Doh! Thanks for re-iterating what was in the forum already.
