Problems using project build from the command line.

Which specific version of CCSv5 are you using? Are you sure the project you are importing is a "CCS project" and not a standard Eclipse project?

Are you able to import the same project through the CCS GUI rather than via command line?

What versions of compilers do you see listed under Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Build->Compilers? CCS 5.2.x should already have compiler v6.1.0 for C2000 and what that version I wouldn't expect this error to appear.

I am using 5.1.1.00031

From the GUI the import works fine. (Import existing Eclipse project)

This fails from the command line.

eclipsec -noSplash -data C:\Users\x0183614\workspace_v5_prime_int_z -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectImport -ccs.location U:\dspsrdc_csa\emeter\dsp_c28x\PLC_AppBoot

  !ERROR: Import failed for project 'PLC_AppBoot' because its compiler definition is not available.
Please install the C2000v6.1 compiler before importing this project.

It would appear that I have the compiler installed.

under a C2000 tab discovered tools

ti v6.1.0A11101

Any other ideas?

Is the same workspace being used in both cases, (ie) when imported using GUI and using command line? If not, can you try from command line in the same workspace that works with GUI?

Additional information.  The project import seems to be order dependent.  Starting with a clean workspace,

Z:\dspsrdc_csa\emeter\dsp_c28x>eclipsec.exe -nosplash -data C:\Users\x0183614\workspace_v5_prime_int
_z -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectImport -ccs.location v:\dspsrdc_csa\emeter\dsp_c28x\PLC_
AppBoot

  !ERROR: Import failed for project 'PLC_AppBoot' because its compiler definition is not available.
Please install the C2000v6.1 compiler before importing this project.

This import failed.  But the following sequence works.

Z:\dspsrdc_csa\emeter\dsp_c28x>eclipsec.exe -nosplash -data C:\Users\x0183614\workspace_v5_prime_int
_z -application com.ti.ccstudio.apps.projectImport -ccs.location v:\dspsrdc_csa\emeter\dsp_c28x\prim

Any ideas?

The "Job found still running..." comment changes but doesn't appear to bother anything.
