CCS/MSP430FR2672: Using custom make file; Compiler not installed

Part Number: MSP430FR2672

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi Team,

I have a customer that uses their own make file to manage the build for their projects inside of CCS.  They use cygwin to run the make files, which calls the MSP430 compiler, linker, etc.  I thought when done this way CCS wouldn't care about the compiler versions since it is not managing the build.

I have a copy of their project and trying to help troubleshoot an issue with the MSP430. They don't have this issue, but I do.  It had been working successfully for me for some time now, but recently I started getting error when I build.

"This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed - null{MSP430].  See Help>Install new Software....."

I am using same version of CCS and compiler as customer,  CCS10, TI v20.2.1.LTS.

I have tried re-importing the customer's project and thinking something got corrupted in the workspace I created a new and tried again - same issue.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

    Dennis,

    Are you building the project inside of CCS or outside using command line?

    In a makefile project, I would expect the makefile to dictate the location and version of the compiler tools to use for the build. If you are seeing that message I wonder if CCS is thinking it is a CCS project instead of a makefile project. Did you use the Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace menu to import the project into the new workspace?
