The CodeWarrior IDE compiles project files in the order shown in the Link Order view. This view is useful for explicitly specifying a custom build order. For example, if file B depends on information from file A, and the default build order processes file B before file A, the IDE might fail to compile the project. You can avoid this problem by changing the ordering of the files in the Link Order view to process file A before file B.

Changing the order of files in the Link Order view affects the final binary code produced by your project file. You cannot nest items in the Link Order view more than one level deep.

For more information about link order, see "Setting Link Order." For more information about file groups, see "Managing Files in a Project."

The Link Order view might be named Segments for some build targets. Refer to "Targeting Documentation" for more information.

The Link Order view might be named Overlays for some build targets. Refer to "Targeting Documentation" for more information.
