CCS/CCSTUDIO: Trouble with windows.h and MinGW

Part Number: CCSTUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I'm using the CC2650 with CCS V7 and when I try to build my project I have this error : #1965 cannot open source file "windows.h"

So I added to the path "C:\MinGW\include" and now I have another problem :

"  Description Resource Path Location Type
   #20 identifier "__int64" is undefined .ccsproject /pinInterrupt_CC2650_LAUNCHXL_TI line 113, external location: C:\MinGW\include\basetsd.h C/C++ Problem
   #20 identifier "__int64" is undefined .ccsproject /pinInterrupt_CC2650_LAUNCHXL_TI line 114, external location: C:\MinGW\include\basetsd.h C/C++ Problem
   #35 #error directive: "undefined processor type" .ccsproject /pinInterrupt_CC2650_LAUNCHXL_TI line 2424, external location: C:\MinGW\include\winnt.h C/C++ Problem

"

I don't understand these issues.

If someone can help me.

Thanks

Tristan.

    Hi Tristan,
    Your error messages are a bit confusing to me. Did you take the existing example pin interrupt project and make modifications to it? I see platform specific references (winnt, windows, etc). Did you try to add example code written for a windows host target?

    Thanks

    Hi Ki-Soo Lee

    You are right, I didn't explain well the problem.

    So first, I took the existing example pin interrupt project and it worked. After that I did some modification to add the VL53L0 IR sensor. But the problem is, if I want to use this component, I have to use API. And in these API files there is an include : #include "winows.h".

    Then, when I add the path of the include (windows.h) I have these errors. I don't know how to resolve it ...

    I attach a picture to show you what is undefined and where is the problem. (blue lines)

    I was thinking that perhaps the issue comes from the GCC. It is possible ?

    Thank you for your help,

    Tristan.

    But what kind of modifications are you doing? Where are you getting this component? Unless you are using a different windows.h, that header file is a windows specific header file for calling windows APIs. That will not work in your target environment.

    "what kind of modifications" well .. I'm adding lines to integrate the VL53L0 sensor, like initialization of the component, calibration, measurement ... This component comes from ST Microelectronics. I asked STM and they said that this component can be used with the cc2650.

    They sent me a folder with everything I need (API to integrate and a file.pdf to explain how proced) and there is no windows.h inside, so I guess I need the default library, ready to be used.

    When you say "That will not work in your target environment" are you talking about the CC2650 ? Why it would not work ?

    If you want to understand better I can't send a file.

    Tristan.

    I tried to understand better the problem and I saw in other forum that this problem can be due to the PATH. So, I added the path (C:\MinGW\\bin), but it doesn't change anything and I have the same errors :

       "C:/MinGW/include/basetsd.h", line 113: error #20: identifier "__int64" is undefined
       "C:/MinGW/include/basetsd.h", line 114: error #20: identifier "__int64" is undefined
       "C:/MinGW/include/basetsd.h", line 115: error #66: expected a ";"

       "C:/MinGW/include/winnt.h", line 2424: fatal error #35: #error directive: "undefined processor type"

    I don't understand the last one, why I have this error ... What can be the origin ? How can I resolve it ?

    PS : I think the third error is due to the first two errors. There is a ";"

    Thank you for your help,

    Tristan.

    The example code for the VL53L0 comes with Windows platform-dependent code to use a I2C interface.

    To interface a VL53L0 to a CC2650 platform-dependent code must be written to use the I2C interface on a CC2650. See the Platform section in the VL53L0X API Specification for the API settings that are platform-dependent, and therefore must be adapted for use on a CC2650.
