Include file

I just recieved my first launchpad yesterday, installed all the file last night and have been trying to get everything up and running today.  I have had a few issues that i am trying to figure out with the software.  I downloaded the code compiler studio off the Ti wiki page.  The only way i am getting CCS to open is by opening Eclipse first, but this gives me a different veiw then the ones from the site.  Is there a better way to open CCS?  Also, once the project sets up and the intial starter code is there im getting an error that the msp430.h library file cannot be found.  Does this not get installed with the rest of the files, as i assumed it would be?  Or do i just need to relocate it to the appropriate spot?  I guess i should say i cant find it on my machine anyways, so that might be hard.

  • Found the CCS Application....

  • Okay, to be a little more specific this is the error,


    Invalid project path: Include path not found (C:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\msp430\include). 

    the path is good until right after the msp430, then different.

    Where can i get the libraries from

  • Path information is stored as absolute path in the project settings and not automatically updated (basically an Eclipse problem). So if you open a project that was created elsewhere, the path information in the project will be from this other machine and likely won't fit your own project and/or compiler/include path.

    There should be an option to properly import external projects into the CCS workspace (rather than directly opening them) which should fix the path entries and also update other settings in case of a newer IDE version with more options.
    Alternatively, you may start a new project and either copy the source files over for the old project, or copy the path names form the new to the old.
