CCS/MSP432P401R: Porting Unix Based Project onto CCS

In the attached project, the Build command is set to "make". This is not the default build command for CCS projects. CCS projects usually invoke gmake (which is included with CCS, so it knows where to find it). Some information on it is in this page: 
http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/ccs_project-management.html#changing-the-make-utility

In this case, CCS is not able to find the make utility and hence the error message. 

How did you migrate the project to CCS 8.3? Did you simply import an existing project that was known to build successfully with a previous version of CCS? 

You would need to investigate whether the original project intended to use make for the build or if the command was somehow inadvertently changed from gmake to make during the migration. If it is the former, then you would need to ensure that the make utility is in the system PATH so CCS can find it. If it is the latter, we may need to see the original project so we can try to understand why the build command changed during migration.

Hello Aarti,

Thanks for the response and info. Please find attached the original project.

Don't know much about the history of the project. Downloaded it as a startup.

I think it was a Unix based project. I imported it using CCS v8.

I updated the make file directory as suggest by the link you provided. I used 'c:\ti\ccsv8\gmake' with no options.

I can see that it compiled the files and finished with a warning that the compiler versions are different, which is expected.

However, there is no .out file created.

Please find attached the original project file before importing.

Thank you again for your help and support.

Best regards,

Is that all you have of the original project or do you also have the source files, etc.? I was hoping to see the complete project along with all the sources/resources that are necessary to build it successfully. 

Ziggy,

Using the project files that you sent I was able to import it into both CCS 7.4 and 8.3 without issues. In my case, it did not convert the gmake command to make. This is what the Build properties looked like after I imported your original project into CCS 8.3.

Looks like you are on the right path, now we need to figure out why .out file is not created. Are any other files generated in the Debug directory?

Since I don't have the complete project with source files, I am unable to verify the output of the build. If you are able to share the full project with sources I could take a look. 

Hello Aarti,

Thank you for going through the exercise.

I'm ok to share with you the project but anything I attach is available for all and proprietary issues exists.

I will have to figure this out myself and if there is a way to share files privately, please let me know.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,

Ziggy

Yes you can share files privately with me. If you hover over my userID in this thread, there should be an option to send me a private message. You can zip up the project and attach it to the private message. 

Good morning Aarti,

Sorry for the absence. You know.

Btw, I hovered by your ID and I was unable to see an option to message you directly.

Your help will be great in resolving this issue quickly and I appreciate that very much.

Please let me know.

Thanks and best regards,

Ziggy

I sent you a friend request, did you receive it? After you accept it you can either reply to that message or start a new message to send to me privately.

Hello Aarti,

I am stll unable to get to send you a private message. It doesn't allow we to do so.

Thanks and best regards,

Ziggy

Ziggy,

Did you receive an email with my friend request? After you accept it, if you click on my E2E name on that same email it should take you to a page from where if you click on Connect, it should give you the option to send a private message.
