A lot of issues installing CCS on 'G:' drive Please advice

Viking

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C1294XL

Had to install CCS on 'G:' drive. (Actually the EK-TM4C1294XL-CCS-786 install package for connected launchpad)

Part of make used ${CCE_INSTALL_ROOT}, so this worked, but I had to go through a lot to change hardcoded 'C:' directory strings

Still,  Drivers, utils, and third party folders are hardcoded to 'C:', so gmake fails. Where do I fix this????

Example: build qs_iot gives 14 errors, all of the type

gmake: *** No rule to make target `C:/ti/TivaWare_C_Series-2.1.0.12573/examples/boards/ek-tm4c1294xl/drivers/buttons.c', needed by `drivers/buttons.obj'. qs_iot Unknown C/C++ Problem

The files are of course on the G drive, not the C drive....

Ended up creating a symlink, solving the issue temporarily.

Even if I do find the error, I hate to fix all this up, and as a result, upgrades will mess it all up again.

Please advice how to fix this in a way that is supported with upgrades.

    Hello Viking

    Normally I install everything on C: to avoid such issues. However if it need be changed then On right-click to the project, you can use Show Build Settings to go to the following menu to change the settings.

    Regards

    As described in original posting, after changing all settings with 'C:" in them, the issue is still not resolved. For example, the files in the projects are still hardcoded to be found on 'C:'. 

    Even before any build or make, the files listed shows up as missing from each and every project, so no BUILD setting will resolve this.

    TI, please record this as a defect in CCS or the package, and address in next release.

    Thanks

    Make sure you do not have any non-English characters on the installation & project location. I had my windows username with a character that does not exist in English keyboard.

    Finally I had to create a new user with pure English letters.

    Now that's disturbing - one wonders if you've found/imported very old or improper source code?

    None of the includes w/in multiple of our current projects employ anything other than, "relative" references to the source files. 

    Agree with your dislike for having to "massage" each subsequent "source/library file update" - but I'd bet that there's some "missing hook" w/in your IDE which should be able to resolve/manage...

    @Caner - yours is a very neat point - we had just that issue w/one of our overseas interns - thanks for advising...

     Hi Viking, I am Linux user so finally I am proudly using CCS on this platform.

     When I started evaluating CCS at early revision 5, Linux version was unstable and pretty unusable, so I checked the windows version... More and more worst. That time I stopped using and temporary licence voided.

     Now revision 6.0 is more usable but this wasn't a pain free installation, if you search on CCS dedicated forum a very long thread exists on how to solve troubles and get it installed, if you are still reading ok your version is Windows ;)

     In Linux I get C:\ errors too and this is a non sense, this is signalled and very bad programming practice common to most unskilled windows programmers...

     The worst things continue, I abandoned temporary usage of windows version due to the errors are you experiencing:

     If CCS installation and project drives are not the same CCS fails! My project is on a secure backed up external fast storage and I NEVER wish reside on a pc hdd nor windows hosted. So mapping an external drive render impossible to build under windoze...

     I stop there and believe me list is very long, before to do ping pong beta testing CCS 6.0 I wasn't GURU level but I raised in a short time  ;)

     Hi, Also take great care about special letter and symbol on english keyboard too ;)

     This is a windoze bug than CCS, if you use "&" character on a folder, on some release of NT series and close descendant parent you can also lose all your files on subfolders and if you are particularly unfortunate all HDD content....

     Ask M$ to solve, is present from NT rev 4.0 like the Floppy not readable bug.....

     We own a super mainframe on the wrist clock but Technology appear as stop, Software & Hardware nowaday are no more reliable than it was in the 60-80.....

    Is there any way to actually report a defect in CCS, and get a response that it was entered in the defect database. I dont even care to get a promise that anything will be done. Just a response that someone is listening.

    Thanks

     Hi Viking, all bug are submitted, your are known but still work in progress. Maybe next release address a lot of them and remove some annoying error when you copy a project from one partition ( or just directory on Linux) to another.

     CCS Forum has some great developer, so  please post some request helping not to remove software simulator too.

     P.S: Amit addressed a lot of your issue, marking yourself for answered is not so fine. ;)

    Here, here!   And - pardon but what is being Verified?  Poster asks a fair question - but there's no hint of any answer!

    Poster's point/thrust is very valid - but marking it as, "Verified Answer" is just wrong!
