I ported a Silab project, (using Keil Version 8 compiler), but could not link the project correctly. I then saw that the file names are truncated to the old DOS style. However if the file names are short (less than eight) this causes no problem, but with file names with an underscore or longer it does. I need a linker setting "CODE (?PR?*?LOADER_F33X(7000H))" for instance, but the file is now "LOADER_1" instead of "LOADER_F33X". The second problem is that if I want to compile a single file with "shift F7", and the file name is long or with an underscore in, it only replies with.

"--------------------Configuration: romeo - Debug--------------------
don't know how to make 'eeprom_i2c.obj'
eeprom_i2c.obj - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s).


The third problem is that these names is also in the debugging info.

These files however if build, does compile with no error.

Why are the file names truncated to DOS format, or how can I force "long file names"?

Thanks in Advance

Thanks, yes that did the trick.
