I have some tools that should run before the actual Keil c/asm/link step. In uVision2 the option exists to add "post" compile tools. But I can't find a way to add "pre" compile tools. Does anybody have a suggestion? (I would like to keep using the uVision environment to set compiler options easily; to enter debug mode;.... It would be ennoying to be forced to manually execute a batch file first before hitting the 'compile button') Off course, I could consider to write a makefile in MS Visual studio, but then I don't have a button to enter 'target debug mode' anymore. Thanks Patrick Brouckxon.

So you just have to add a group before your source files to do your precompile stuff. The catch is that there is no way to control the position at which a new group is added, nor to re-order the existing groups in a Project :-( - that's why I made that post! you can manually hack the .uv2 file, but it really shouldn't come to that, should it? :-( BTW: note that there is no dependency checking for custom translations. :-(
