NullPointerException when building with CCS, version 5.4.0
Did you already check the compiler settings in CCS, and if it consistent with your make file?
1) In the project properties > page "General" > tab "Main" you have to define the compiler and its version you want to apply...
2) In the project properties > page "Resource > Linked Resources" > tab "Path Variables" you should have a path variable "CG_TOOL_ROOT" that points to the installation directory of your compiler
3) verify if you have a similar definition of this variable in your make file (something like "CG_TOOL_ROOT := C:/<compiler_installation_root>") and if it fits the settings in CCS
Interesting that a missing compiler setting would result in a Java NullPointerException error. Based on the error message, how did you intuit that I might be missing the CG_TOOL_ROOT defintion?
the error message is not very meaningful - that's true. But recently I experienced a similar phenomenon with CCS and I found out that some project configuration aspects - as the compiler version e.g. - are affected by several configuration parameters. If they are not consistent, then you get strange symptoms in CCS.
Verifying the compiler settings is only a first approach to get more information on the root cause...
Beside that, I would also like to suggest that you update to the latest CCS version, which is 5.5, and see if the issue is still there or if it changed.
