Opening Project Files Created on Other Host Platforms
CodeWarrior IDE project files are cross-platform. For example, on a Windows computer you can open a project created on a Macintosh computer.
To use a project created on another host platform, copy only its project file, not its associated Data folder, from the other host platform to your computer. After copying the project, open it in the IDE and recompile its files. Although a project's format is cross-platform, its compiled object code is not.
NOTE
Before copying a project, ensure that the project has a ".mcp" file-name extension (without the quotes). For example, if the project's name is MyProject, rename it to MyProject.mcp. The Windows-hosted version of the CodeWarrior IDE requires this file-name extension in order to recognize the project file.
TIP
When creating any project, always add the ".mcp" extension to the project file's name.
See also "Document Settings Pop-Up Menu" for information on editing source code files created on other platforms and "Host Flags" for information on configuring access paths for a host platform.
