CCS 4.1: linker doesn't start (CreateProcess failed)

Massimo

Hi,

a distribution FAE reports the following problem when compiling one of the StellarisWare examples with CCS 4.1.1.0014, and the 30days evaluation license.

He can build small simple examples, but if he tries a bigger one he gets something like:

====

(....)

preproc_dependency="drivers/set_pinout.pp" --obj_directory="drivers" "C:/StellarisWare/boards/dk-lm3s9b96/drivers/set_pinout.c"

__'Finished building: C:/StellarisWare/boards/dk-lm3s9b96/drivers/set_pinout.c'

_' '

_'Building target: enet_io.out'

_'Invoking: Linker'

process_begin: CreateProcess((null), _, ...) failed.

make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

C:\Work\TEXAS\CCS_4_Platinum\ccsv4\utils\gmake\gmake: *** [enet_io.out] Error 2

C:\Work\TEXAS\CCS_4_Platinum\ccsv4\utils\gmake\gmake: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

Build complete for project enet_io

===================

He has 1GB of memory on his laptop. WinXP.
At home, with 2GB of memory, the build is ok, following the same procedure.

I cannot replicate the issue on my laptop too.

Where shall we look at?

Thanks, best regards

I realized it's a gmake error. I get the same error running gmake from the command line, using the makefile generated by CCS on that specific PC.
the linker seems to be OK: the build is succesful if I launch the linker directly from the command line.
And I get the error even launching gmake with the -n option (so without running the linker really, just printing the commands).

I found on the web some references to similar errors with gmake 3.81 for Windows.

Someone says it's a known gmake bug: http://www.mail-archive.com/make-w32@gnu.org/msg01859.html

Do you have any suggestion? Can it be?

Best regards
