CCSv6 for MSP430 - Error: Program "make" not found in PATH

Hello,

I have big troubles with the latest CCS (Version: 6.0.0.00190) : when I create a new workspace I can compile and debug my projects , but after closing and reopening my workspace it is no more possible to compile and debug, and in the console I have :

Cannot run program "make" : Launching failed

Error: Program "make" not found in PATH

I tried several times to reinstall (uninstall, delete directory...), no improvment. I tried on 2 different computers (Windows Seven 32bits and 64 bits) with the same result again.

The only mean to work (because I need to produce ...) is to delete the .metatdata directory, then opening my workspace (thus create a new one) and then import all my projects in this workspace. I have to repeat this operation each time I open a workspace, It is really tricky.

So, please, I need some suggestions to workaround this problem.

I also notice that to create .txt file I obtain a .hex file, but it seems to be already a known issue.

Thanks

Peter

    Hi Peter,

    Would you be able to re-create this failure with one, preferably simple, project, and then zip your entire workspace and upload it here?  

    Thanks,

    - Baltasar

    Hi,

    to answer to your request I have created new workspace and new project on my desktop, but I was unable to recreate the failure. Actually it seems it depends on the directory naming. I did the same in my work directory and then I reproduce the problem.


    All my workspaces are on a USB drive and a typical directory is like that (I only change the company name) :

    V:\1--- CompanyName ---\MSP430-dev\100 workspaceTest

    I used the same directory naming with previous version (CCS v5, v4, v3 ...) without any problem.

    Can you try with this naming ?

    Regards 

    Peter

    Hi Peter,

    I cannot reproduce the problem using the same workspace path on CCS v6.0.0.00190.  The issue may have something to do with the fact that your workspace is on a removable drive.  Make sure that your workspace directory is fully writeable, and also make sure that the same drive letter (e.g. "V:") is used consistently for all CCS sessions with that workspace.

    If you can reproduce the problem on a local drive, please let me know the steps.

    Thanks,

    - Baltasar

    Hi,

    It works now.

    It is not a problem of local or removable drive. The problem is the "-" (key 6 on my azerty keyboard). When I remove all these "-" in my directories names, it is ok. I have also deleted the space character, preventively...

    I have replaced my "-" with "_" (key 8) and it's still ok.

    Regards,

    Peter
