CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: Error linking files from SimpleLink SDK across multiple PCs

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi - I'm trying to develop on two different PCs, out of necessity because another engineer occasionally helps on a different PC from mine. I installed CCS locally then installed the SimpleLink SDK locally on both PCs. I have my workspace set to a directory in a Dropbox folder. We'll use Git(Hub) further down the line too but we need to get around this issue regardless.

I can import and build an example project from Resource Explorer on machine 1 but then when I go to build it on machine 2, I get the following error:

error #10008-D: cannot find file "C:\Users\me\Dropbox\Workspace\tirtos_builds_CC2640R2_LAUNCHXL_release_ccs\Debug\configPkg\package\cfg\release_pem3.oem3"

error #10008-D: cannot find file "C:\Users\me\Dropbox\Workspace\tirtos_builds_CC2640R2_LAUNCHXL_release_ccs\src\sysbios\rom_sysbios.aem3"

The other PC on which I first imported the project is named "pjb" so the full path is slightly different. Of course I could hackily fix this by creating a new user on PC2 that matched the username on PC1 but that doesn't seem necessary.

I've checked every single Properties, Build Settings, Configuration, etc. path that I can find and they all point to that particular machine's correct path, so I can't figure out why somewhere in there, the path from PC1 is being pulled in when I try to build on PC2. Can anyone help?

I'm only using an example at the moment because I built some real code off of one of the example projects and that doesn't work either, so I thought I'd re-start with the basics, but the basics won't cooperate either!

Thanks!

Hi Phil,
The Eclipse workspace itself is not designed to be shared that way. The metadata data stored inside the workspace folder likely has absolute paths that will prevent such sharing of a workspace cleanly. Each user should be using their own separate workspace. The project can certainly be version controlled and shared but I would recommend against trying to do this with the workspace.

Thanks

Ah, okay. Thank you, Ki. That gets me a huge step toward my answer. I'll consider it resolved but it also opens up the question of where to find best practices for managing a team-oriented development project. Does this do the trick: Does this one apply equally to CCS7? processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Source_control_with_CCS

Yes, that article also applies to v7.

Thanks
