Compiler Version Error

Joseph Hankin
Prodigy 40 points

I am trying to import an existing CCS project into CCS 5.2 but am unable to build the project due to a compiler error. I am getting the following...

Buildfile generation error occurred..
This project was created using a version of compiler that is not currently installed: 4.1.1 [MSP430]. Please install the compiler of this version, or migrate the project to one of the available compiler versions by adjusting project properties.
Build stopped..

I just installed CCS using the offline installer and told it to include all of the MSP430 tools. Is there a reason why the installer would not have the right compiler version? How can I find out what the correct version of the compiler is and how can I install it?

Thanks

    Hi,

    For different CCS versions you may also get different compiler versions.

    Right click on your project and open Properties -> CCS General -> Advanced settings, there you can see the compiler versions that are installed and choose the one that you want to use. A newer version of the compiler might work.

    Regards

    I think the issue that I'm having is that I don't have any compiler tools installed. When I tried to follow the steps from the wiki http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Compiler_Installation_and_Selection I don't see any compiler for any tool. Is this an installation problem? I did get a couple script errors on install but they didn't say anything that seemed to do with compilers or tools.

    Hi Joseph,

    a couple things we can quickly check.  First of all, is this a v5.3 project and would you be willing to use v5.3?   When you did the import, did you use Project->Import Existing CCS/Eclipse Project?

    You can check your currently installed compilers under Window->Preferences->Code COmposer Studio->Build->Code Generation Tools

    It might also be worth double checking for any antivirus interference.

    Please keep us informed.

    Best Regards,

    Yes, I tried this with both 5.3 and 5.2.

    I did use the Project->Import Existing CSS/Eclipse Project

    I don't seem to have any compilers in my preferences. This may be because of antivirus interference. I don't have control over the anti-virus software but I told my network administrators to provide me with an exception for Code Composer. I will double check on the status of the antivirus software.

    Should I uninstall the other versions of CSS before I attempt a re-install?

    Thank you

    HI Joseph,

    the main thing is to use a fresh simple directory, eg c:/ti or c:/myccs where no other installations are.  Starting from scratch and double checking your antivirus might be a good idea.  It is up to you whether you clean previous installations but that might not hurt to do.

    Please keep us informed how it goes.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Hi Joseph,

    just thought I would check for any updates with your enquiry.

    Thanks for the check up.

    After talking with TI support, they are not sure of the cause of my issue but recommended entirely removing Code Composer from my system and then try to reinstall.

    Hopefully it was just a bad install and I let you know the results of the re-installation.

    Hi Joseph,

    I just thought I would check for any updates/how the reinstallation went.
