Compiler: Cannot Install Compiler Tools

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi everyone,

Why is there an error when I install other version(15.12.6) of compiler like the figure below?

Nowadays, I have take the suggestion of updating to CCS7.

Some of my project is created by CCS4 and CCS6, so I want to install old version of compiler.

Not only the version(15.12.6) which is older than current version(16.9.3) but the newer one(17.6.0) can not be installed, either.

How can I solve the problem of install different versions of compiler?

By the way, I have turned off my antivirus.

Sincerely,

Norton

    Are you running CCS under Windows, Linux or a Mac?

    The error is from trying to install a compiler for CCS running under Linux, which is not applicable to your environment.

    On the Install New Software dialogue if the "Show only software applicable to target environment" option is ticked it will filter out incompatible options. E.g. will prevent trying to install a compiler for a Linux host when CCS is running under Windows.

    Hi Chester Gillon,

    My operation system is Windows 7 professional x64.

    When I ticked the "Show only software applicable to target environment" option, there is nothing in the list of "TI Compiler Updates"

    If you use the Windows -> Preferences menu option and look at the Available Software Sites is there an entry for http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/codegen/Updates/p2win32  ?

    Selecting that entry in the "Work with:" combo-box in the Install New Software dialogue should allow a compiler to be installed for the Windows operating system.

    The http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_ccstudio/codegen/Updates/p2win32/ entry can be added to the Available Software Sites if it is missing for some reason.

    Edit: Add dialogue and fix links

    Hi Chester,

    The website exists in the menu and I can select it in the "work with" of the "Help->Install New Software".

    And I can check the compiler version I need, but while installing, CCS installation show me the information below.

    Sincerely,

    Norton

    It is odd that the error is complaining about an emulation component when you are trying to install a compiler update. 

    Are you sure that the only thing you selected to install was a new version of compiler tools? If so, and if the error continues to persist, then I suspect that a previous update attempt may have failed and now CCS is unable to recover from it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but the best course of action here so as to avoid future update problems would be to first do a clean install of CCS and then install the desired versions of compiler tools by going to Help->Install New Software. Note that if you wish to install a compiler version older than the currently installed version, you would need to follow the steps described here.

    Hi,

    According to your explain, I should reinstall CCS so I can install other version of compiler?
    Actually, there are three different version of CCS in my PC.
    The reason of installing other version of compiler is almost all of my projects created by old version of CCS and compiler, and the warning continued to tell me about the version of compiler is not the same as current.
    If so, how can I recreate my old project without create a new project with current version of CCS and compiler?
    Can I use "Project->Clean" then "Debug" again to refresh the compiler version of the old projects?
    If this can solve the problem, it is not necessary to install other version of compiler.

    Sincerely,
    Norton

    If the project imports fine without reporting an error, and you are ok with building the project with a newer compiler version, then you can just go into the Project Properties and explicitly set the compiler version to be the version that is included with CCS. That will get rid of the warning that says that the version of compiler used for build is different than the one the project was created for.

    Hi,

    I will try to do this operation to get rid of the warning of different compiler version.
    Once I have any question, I will reply to this post for other help.
    Thank you very much.

    Sincerely,
    Norton
