CCS: CCSv7 Build hangs when opening and building CCSv6 workspace

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi all,

I just downloaded CCSv7 and opened a workspace I've worked on recently in CCSv6. I double-checked some of the settings in Project Properties and had to change one or two which wasn't a big deal. Then I did a Clean and Build and the Build process hangs or seemingly stalls out at different percentages through the build. It always gets stopped at a percentage (different number depending on the build) and sits there not changing anything in the Details view of the Build pop-up box. It does always respond immediately when I click Cancel, and it properly cancels the Build operation every time, so I don't think its an error or bug in CCS. I've had a few different build errors related to Project Properties settings that I found and corrected, but there's always been one about gmake not found in PATH: "C:/ti/ccsv7/utils/bin/gmake is not found in PATH." I've checked the location on my computer and it is indeed located in that path, so I don't know what else to look for. I think this error is where the build is getting held up at, so I'm trying to tackle this issue.

Thanks for any help you can give,

    Could you instead open up a new workspace for CCSv7, import your project into it and let us know how the build goes?

    We would still want to look into what may have corrupted the older workspace, but please let us know if a new workspace helps with a successful build.

    So I've solved this problem, but the solution for me was actually elsewhere. I agree the safest way to update a project is probably to import an old one into a ccsv7 workspace, and I did that. But my problem only went away when I looked at my "Path" variable in the Project Properties->Build->Variables Tab. I clicked the button "Show System Variables" and found the "Path" variable. I opened it up by hitting edit and found that there was no path to the folder that had gmake in it. The error messages went away after I added this line to the search path:


    C:\ti\ccsv7\utils\bin

    I'm still not out of the hole yet, but I started another post related to the other issue I'm having.

    Thanks for the help.

    Glad to hear that you were able to solve the problem. However, it's still a bit odd to me that adding the directory you mentioned to the Path solved the issue as that specific directory does not even contain gmake.

    If you do encounter this issue again with another project would you mind sharing it with us, so we can reproduce the behavior and dig into what may have triggered this issue.

    Ok, I want to clarify. I pasted in the wrong path and I edited my last post to reflect the right path I added to "Path."

    Yet, going back to verify this was the change that fixed it, I can't re-create this. You're probably right that this wasn't the actual fix. I know I updated some TI Compiler Tools options and changed the compiler to the newest version (the only one I can choose from) and also from COFF to eabi(ELF) Output Format. These may have played some part in me getting past this issue, but I'm not 100% confident me adding that Path is a sure fix for this issue.

    Thanks,

    To wrap up this Forum discussion, I haven't found this error again since the last post. I do think that, like always, starting a brand new workspace and importing/copying things over into it is the best solution for this problem.

    Thanks for the help,

    Hello,

    I just got this error when I have new install CCS7 to work with CC3200 after import project ti_rtos_config and build.
    After replace all '/' by '\' in Project Properties > Build > Variables Tab > Click Show system variables > Path its work.
