error building application with C++ compiler in CCS v.4

George Paravas

I have recently downloaded CCS v.4 (the free version) and I have followed the procedure to construct and build the hello world as specified in the getting started section of the CCS.

When I try to build the project I get the following error, however, I tried to build it from the command line and it builds fine! Has anyone seen this before?

George,

Are you using the latest version of CCSv4, 4.2.4?

Can you try the troubleshooting suggestions in this wiki page, specifically the ones under "General IDE"?
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCS#General_IDE

If none of those help, can you copy the complete output in the build console to a file and attach it here? What device etc did you select when going through the new project wizard?

Hi AartiG,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using the latest CCS4 (4.2.4.00033). However the problem has been solved! is the CCS somehow it does not take the admin priviledges when clicking on the open tag. But if you do: Run as->The following user-> and here I type my user name and password it works fine although the user-name and password is the same.

So every time if I run as "me" it works, if I just click on open, it doesn't.

George.

George,

You shouldn't have to normally start up CCS with Run as..., so I'm not sure why this is happening in your case. I believe it might be due to something in your Windows settings. It seems that starting up an application with "Run as" uses a different set of default settings than when it is double-clicked and opened. Your IT personnel might be able to help you check if there is a Windows setting that can help you resolve this.

You did not mention the operating system you are using, but if you are on Windows 7, here are some general guidelines for installing CCS:
