CCSv6: Error #6001 with ccsOpts.out



I have a basic project setup in CCSv6 that consists ot just two files: dskstart32.c and dsk6713.cmd.  The C language file has the main() function. I setup my project as usually, including the C6000 CSL library headers as well as the DSK6713 BSL library headers using the "-i" option.  I link explicitly to the dsk6713bsl32.lib and csl6713.lib files using the "-l" option. I also define a symbol -DCHIP_6713.

Because this is also older technology, I am using the v7.4.8 compiler with the legacy COFF format.

If I just compile the C language file dskstart32.c, I get no errors or issues, and it generates dskstart32.obj in the Debug folder. The compiler output is below:

**** Build of configuration Debug for project CH2_1 ****

"C:\\ti\\ccsv6\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k dskstart32.obj 
'Building file: ../dskstart32.c'
'Invoking: C6000 Compiler'
"C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/c6000_7.4.8/bin/cl6x" -mv6710 --abi=coffabi -g --include_path="C:/ti/book/Software/c6713dsk/dsk6713bsl32/include" --include_path="C:/ti/C6xCSL/include" --include_path="C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/c6000_7.4.8/include" --define=CHIP_6713 --diag_warning=225 --diag_wrap=off --display_error_number --opt_for_speed=5 --preproc_with_compile --preproc_dependency="dskstart32.pp"  "../dskstart32.c"
'Finished building: ../dskstart32.c'
' '

**** Build Finished ****

That looked good to me! So I proceeded to try to build the whole project, running the linker to get an output file. When I run the entire build process, I get the following error #6001 stating the tools cannot find the dskstart32.obj file.

It looks like from the above linker command that CCS is trying to run the linker out of the Debug folder, but since it cannot find the dskstart32.obj file, my suspicion is that the tool is not being run from the Debug folder, but perhaps the top lever folder of the project. Is there a way to confirm this with CCS? Does anything else look suspicious in the above linker output?



  • Bryan,

    Welcome to the TI E2E forum. I hope you will find many good answers here and in the TI.com documents and in the TI Wiki Pages. Be sure to search those for helpful information and to browse for the questions others may have asked on similar topics.

    This C67x Single Core DSP Forum is for hardware issues. For questions about how to use CCS there is the Code Composer Forum and for questions about how to use the compiler is the TI C/C++ Compiler Forum.

    This time, for your convenience, we will get a Moderator to move this thread to the compiler forum.

    I have no idea what to suggest for your problem. Sorry.

    Regards,
    RandyP

    When you build a project, CCS will change the current active directory to the project configuration subfolder ('Debug' in this case). So you are correct in that build tools are running from the 'Debug' folder. Or it should be. When you compiled just dskstart32.c, was dskstart32.obj generated in the Debug folder?

    Thanks
