CCS: Program "make" not found in PATH

while trying to build a project in CCS 7.1.0, i find this error:

Program "make" not found in PATH

the project does not build. i find this problem to exist with CCS 5.5 but even with CCS7.1.0 i am facing this problem. i have been though the earlier references to this problem and have tried creating a new workspace but it did not work for me. I also tried changing the build configuration from Debug (active) to Release because now i can check the "use default build command" option and this changes my build command to ${CCS_UTILS_DIR}/bin/gmake-k but even this does not help solve the problem.

im working on a DSP TMS32F2812 board and i am using TI XDX1--v2 USB debug probe. please help

I had this error as well. In my case, the specific compiler version that the project was set to use did not exist, so the build tried to use a different version. I fixed the issue by installing the specific compiler version that the project is set to. Presumably, changing the compiler version to the version the build is trying to use would also fix this.

Note, I have seen a different compiler version than the project specifies work before. I think the problem exists because there was a switch from gmake to make at some compiler version, so there is a mismatch between what the build is trying to invoke vs what exists for the compiler version.

The problem is solved. actually some of the project files were read only. changing it to allow write operation solved the problem
