CCS/IWR1642BOOST: Getting pre-build Error While Compiling a Project

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I am getting a prebuild error while rebuilding a project. But at the end of rebuilding it is not showing any error. I am a little confused about this.

Here is a pre-build error 

"C:\\ti\\ccsv7\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k -j 4 all -O 
 
rm -f C:/Users/LaxmiKant/Google Drive/CCSv7/pplcount_16xx_mss/xwr16xx_pplcount_mss.bin
makefile:193: recipe for target 'pre-build' failed
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, rm -f C:/Users/LaxmiKant/Google Drive/CCSv7/pplcount_16xx_mss/xwr16xx_pplcount_mss.bin, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

gmake[1]: [pre-build] Error 2 (ignored)

What could be the possible reason?

    It looks like the pre-build step for the project is trying to delete the existing file xwr16xx_pplcount_mss.bin by using the Linux command rm -f, whereas the project is using CCS under Windows and the rm command doesn't exist on Windows. Therefore, in the pre-build command try replacing "rm -f" with the equivalent windows command of "del /f".

    Hi thanks for reply.
    How can I change it to "del /f"? Please suggest.

    If you right-click on the project in the CCS Project Explorer to get the project properties under CCS Build -> Steps you can edit the command for the "Pre-build steps":

    Hi,

    Thanks for the simple explanation. I did it and now both error has gone and one new error came. 

    "C:\\ti\\ccsv7\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k -j 4 all -O 
 
del /f C:/Users/LaxmiKant/Documents/CCSv7/pplcount_16xx_dss/xwr16xx_pplcount_dss.bin
makefile:199: recipe for target 'pre-build' failed
Invalid switch - "Users".

    From the error, the problem is that the pathname generated by Eclipse isn't quoted and contains forward slashes which confuses the Window command interpreter.

    Try setting the pre-build step to the following:

    ${CG_CLEAN_CMD} "${PROJECT_ROOT}/xwr16xx_pplcount_mss.bin"

    The ${CG_CLEAN_CMD} is an attempt to get a pre-build command which will work under Linux and Windows. I am running CCS under Linux under the moment, and haven't tried the command under Windows yet.
