CCS 5.5.0: Build error in example code

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

 Hello community.

 After installing CCS 5.5.0 I wanted to start building a code example for the MSP430 (Blink LED). After creating a new project and trying to build the code the console stated the following:


**** Build of configuration Debug for project Test ****

"C:\\CCS\\ccsv5\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k all
gmake: *** [blink.obj] Error 1
gmake: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

**** Build Finished ****

I am running Win7 and installed CCS into C:\CCS\ using "Run as administrator" command for the setup. The workspace folders seem to be read-only. If I try to remove this option and check again in the explorer it still tells me that folders are read-only. The error persisted after re-installation of CCS.

Does anybody has an idea how to solve this issue? I could not find any information about it that lead to a solution.

All advices are welcome!

 Best regards

 

  • Is that the full output you see in the CCS build console? Can you try a project "Rebuild" and let us know what the output in the console is?

    Have you tried building some of the code examples from MSP430Ware to see if they are successful? These examples can be accessed from TI Resource Explorer. Go to CCS menu View->TI Resource Explorer, in the Packages list, select MSP430ware, expand on the device you are working with and go to Code Examples. From there you should be able to create, build and debug those examples

  • Thanks for the answer.

    I rebuilt the project and revived the very same error message. Sadly the console does not state more than the text quoted. During rebuilding process I read something like "gmake: [clean] Error 1 (ignored)" on the console, but the console was erased again and at the end only showed the message quoted on my first post.

    Regarding the code I chose "New - CCS Project" and selected one of the "basic example" codes (from J. Stevenson, TI, July 2011). Using one of the MSP430ware examples (msp430g2xx3_1.c) returned the same error.

    Any ideas what this error message could refer to?

     

     

     

  • If none of the examples work then there must be some other inherent problem. We have known some anti-virus software to sometimes cause interference and result in some odd errors. Try disabling any anti-virus and retry the build. If that still does not help I would suggest a uninstall and clean reinstall of CCS to a simple directory like c:\ti.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. Saddly I am still experiencing the same problems. I uninstalled CCS completely and installed it again into C:\ti directory. During installation the installer displayed a notification that there would be a pending reboot. Even after rebooting the system this didnt change. Ignoring it I was able to install CCS, but still nothing changed... Any ideas?
