error on build of any project ...

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553

I just downloaded the latest CCS 6, running on Windows 8.1  64 bit

I always get these errors:

Any suggestions?  Thanks for whatever you can tell me

  • Hi Edward,
    your issue looks similar to the one reported in below thread:
    e2e.ti.com/.../444240

    Can you try Aarti's suggestions and see if they help at all?

    Thanks
    ki
  • I tried Aarti's suggestions, but no change. Here you can see the same problem happens with the TMP and TEMP changed to a custom c:\temp directory... also cleaned out the system PATH, and no help there either. Is there a way I can run gmake in a command line? Is there any documentation for it? Can you tell me where the build script for CSS is located? Thanks.

  • I just did additional installs on Windows 10, and then on Windows 7.

    It crashes with the same problem on WIndows 10. Windows 7 works OK.

    My guess is that TI is just not keeping up with Microsoft. Who can blame them?
  • edward hiskes said:
    make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

    This seems to indicate that an incorrect make utility is being invoked (make instead of gmake). 

    Can you double-check what your Windows PATH variable is set to? If you have other toolchains in your PATH that also contain make utilities in their directories, then that could cause a conflict, and the incorrect make may be picked up. Many things such as Cygwin, OpenCL, WINAVR in the system PATH may cause this issue. Try to set your PATH to a bare minimum, restart CCS and see if the error persists.
