CCS Guru's,
I know you have seen this before, and I've searched and read the other posts pertaining to this topic, but have not been able to find a solution. I had some CCSv4 projects that imported into 5 and they stopped working. I've checked the include paths and macros and everything looks good to me. I updated my CCS (to 5.1.1) and codegen tools, but that didn't help either. Any ideas why these macros wouldn't resolve? All the source files are linked in with these macros and they work.
See below for the pertinent information:

I see 5.2 just went live... I'll try that while I'm waiting for a response :)
Hi Trey,
The problem is that you have defined a path variable using another path variable. This is not supported. Try changing the INSTALL_ROOT_... path variable in your screenshot to use an absolute path.
Keep us informed.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the quick response. I feel like this functionality should work for two reasons:
a) the Path Variables Dialog clearly states that "Path variables specify locations in the file system, including other path variables with the syntax '${VAR}'..."
Am I misinterpreting this statement?
b) this was a working CCSv4 project that broke when imported into CCSv5. CCSv5 created the macro referencing a macro not I. If this is not an acceptable use of macros, why is CCS doing this?
Regards,Trey
ok, my humblest appologies. I have confirmed we actually do now support this with v5 and I just tried it myself.
Could you still please confirm that things work if you put an absoute path there?
I amost looks like the import wizard created a broken or partial path there ...

I suspect this is your problem. I don't see where the empty path came from in that dialog.

Trey,
I have seen this error appear when a macro is not resolved properly so you are on the right track here. However, I see in your screenshot that you checked the macro under "Path Variables", but where you also need to check is under Project Properties->C/C++ Build->Build Variables. Do you see the INSTALLROOT_F2802x_VERSION macro properly resolved under "Build Variables"? If not, try setting it/adjusting it there and see if that helps.
I agree that the import tool should have handled this properly and when reading the macros.ini file should have set this macro correctly in 2 places - under "Path Variables" and under "Build Variables". If it is not doing so, it could be a bug.
If this exhibits the same behavior with CCS 5.2 as well it would be helpful if you could share the project so we can determine if there is a bug here.

Aarti,
Alright, I think I've got it figured out now. When I originally imported these into 5 I was using 5.0.9 and the Path variable was set, but the build variable was not. Upgrading versions didn't help because the project was already a CCSv5 project so CCS didn't mess with any of the settings. I rolled back the examples in git to when they were still v4 and re-imported in 5.2 and everything worked fine. Sorry for the false alarm and thanks for the quick support!
I am also getting the following error message
error: option --include_path is missing its parameter 'dir'
I tried checking path variables against build variables listed under Project Properties->Build->MSP430 Compiler (I can't find Project Properties->C/C++ Build on CCS v5.2), and sure enough, one of the build variables is given as "". I'd like to change this to the correct path, but I can't do it in the flag summary window. Any ideas on how to change build variables?
