ERROR: option --include_path is missing its parameter 'dir'

Stephen Gyawu

Hello Every One,

How do I solve this error? ERROR: option --include_path is missing its parameter 'dir'.

I am very new to this world and running through several examples in a real-time DSP book, I can't get past this error.

surprisingly to me the build have succeeded ones and debugged as the book expects. below is the full CCS console information.

**** Build of configuration Debug for project audioLoop ****

Could you double-check if all the path exists? Could you double-click the project in the proj explorer window and confirm if all paths mentioned under <project> > Includes to be "not greyed out" ? If not, then the path needs to be correctly mentioned in R-click on Project > Propertirs> Build > C5500 Compiler > Include Options.

Best Regards.

--include_path=""

This is the problem. Somewhere in your project, you have an empty string specified as one of the include paths. You may have something like "${VARIABLE}" where VARIABLE is actually undefined.

Thank you KRaviS. You are right!!! There is a path that just said 'inc' which never existed. I created a new project and it was there no more so the project builds fine.
