dsplink building issue & question CCS

I'm not sure what is the cause of the failure.  In the past, other have have issue with re-building DSPlink on a Window host PC due the Cygwin (or similar type tools) on a WINPC.

Remove any such tools from your system path and attempt to re-build DSPlink and its examples.  Information can be found in the DSPLink User's Guide.  Some of this information can also be found: http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php/Building_DSPLink

Hello,

Is the DSP/BIOS version that you are using 5.33.05 or greater? An error while building applications can occur if the DSP/BIOS version is older and does not support OMAP -L138

Deepali,

I am using version 5.41.02.14.

I have another strange problem, I was trying to build sample program using ccs4 and I received something like this:

as you can see on the screen LOOP_Pools is defined just before the place where its being used, any idea what is going on?

edit: the funniest thing is that it works just fine when i use makefile.

Adam,

Did the DSPLink build via makefile on command line succeed for you? It is not very clear to me from your post.

Regarding the error that you are seeing, this has happened because the compiler define CHNL_ZCPY_LINK is missing in the CCS project options. Please look at wiki link http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php/Building_DSPLink_Applications#Method_3:_Building_a_DSPLink_application_using_a_CCS_project_file which gives an example and details on the compiler options, include paths and defines that need to be setup in the CCS project to build a DSPLink sample application.

You do not see this error when you build via the make file because the DSPLink build system sets up everything for you.
