CCSTUDIO: CCS project not building

Tom Hayes said:

I'm currently trying to build a CCS project, but the build tool is shaded out

Can you provide a screenshot of the entire CCS IDE when this happens?

The project looks odd in Project Explorer. It is missing some things that indicate to me that this is a CCS project:

Can you zip up the project folder and share it with me? Or at the very least just the three .*project files in the project folder.

Thanks

Just checked and those files seem to be missing from the CCS project in the workspace- but they are present in the folder that was imported. Is there a reason it's not being included in the import?

How are you importing the project? Via "Project -> Import CCS Project" menu item?

I've just tried a few different options after this question and have found that one of my projects will open correctly ( and can be built ) when I used the import option "CCS Projects" under "c/c++" shown below, but when I try "CCS Projects" under "Code Composer Studio", I get the error "See details below...
Import failed for project 'project name' because its meta-data cannot be interpreted. Please contact support.

That is odd. Both methods should do the same thing. What about when you do "Project -> Import CCS Project" from the main menu?

Can you share the project or the three .*project metadata files?

I've tried repeating the process several times with fresh workspaces, but it consistently works on the "C/C++" but not the "Code Composer Studio" options. This is process is through the main menu, as in starting with toolbar - file - import - import wizard 




I've also tried the route highlighted in the screenshot below, but this shows the same error message


When looking for the .*project files, I have noticed that there are two sets, one set of three in the larger project folder, and another set within a "WashR-cppcheck-build-dir" folder. Sadly the file uploaded on this website doesn;t seem to be working with the .*project files

Sounds like you have a project nested in another project.

Zip the top level larger project folder. If you don't what to share the source (or it will make the zip too large) you can strip out all the additional source files/folders. I just need the .*project files in each of the two project folders. You can attach zip file to the forum (you can drag and drop)
