CCSv3.3 - Libraries not linking properly, "could not open source file" error

Hello,

I'm very new to CCS and digital signal processing in general and was looking for some guidance. I am using an old version of CCS (3.3) and the OMAP L137 board. I've written a basic C++ program, which includes pthreads and semaphores. It is to my understanding that MontaVista Linux comes built-in with these libraries, but every time I try to compile I get a "could not open source file" error. I tried going into the linker settings but could not get anything to work. If somebody could shed light on the situation it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Niko

    CCS 3.3 is very old and no longer supported. Any particular reason you are using this version? Would you be able to update to the latest version of CCSv6?

    Can you copy the complete build log to a text file and attach it here? We'll try to assist as much as we can.

    Hi,

    I'm using version 3.3 for no reason other than to make sure it is still compatible with the software on the OMAP board. If I update to v6,  will I run into any  compatibility issues? Thanks,

    Niko

    In that case it might be best to stay with CCS 3.3 to ensure compatibility.

    I am a bit confused though about your earlier comments regarding C++ coding and MontaVista Linux and am not sure I understand the relation between the two. In any case, if you can provide more details about the CCS build error I can try to help with that specifically. As I requested before, the full text of the CCS build log will be helpful.
