ccsv4 can't see build properties -> build steps menu

Using: ccsv4 4.1.2.27, (and tried 4.1.3.38) with win 7-64.

When trying to see build steps (Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Build Steps -> Post-build Steps:

1) can't see the "Post-build Step" area unless I resize window, but then it doesn't have the choice to make Intel hex file anymore (used to).
saw this in a forum some place and can not find it again (what forum was that in?)

2) Is problem with Win-7 win7-64 or what? Used to work until I updated CCSv4 to last version or 2 ago.
Is there anything I can do? ie. manullay edit a file to add it in?

3) I tried turningoff User Access Control -> no help.
running in XP comp. mode, but win says eclipse is not compatable.

Anyone else see this?

thanks,
dan

  • Dan,

    This issue shows up on some Win7 64bit machines.  I run Win7 64b but have never seen the issue but a number of other users have.  It seems that it depends on other software that you may have installed.  I believe we have at least a partial fix available for this.  We will get back to you in a bit.

    Regards,

  • Dan,

    Try the fix here: http://e2e.ti.com/members/4199/files/default.aspx

    It contains updated versions of some SWT plugins.  The plugins go in your ccsv4\eclipse\plugins folder

    Here are the instructions:

    -       remove the 2 existing SWT plugins (back it up – incase need to revert back)

    -       unzip the new swt files from the link above into your eclipse\plugins folder

    -       run eclipse –clean from the command line to clean out the plug-in cache

    Regards,

    John

  • It appears to work, but of course, I have a conf call right now, so I just tried it quickly. Will report back after a bit more of a trial.
    But, thanks for the quick turn on the answer, that at least seems to work! I appreciate it.

  • Thanks for the fix. It appears to be stable and work. It even fixed my mouse wheel for use in the code editor windows at the same time, believe it or not, which was a problem on my work laptop (using now on trip) so that is nice. Does it wash windows, too? :-)

    thanks,
    Dan

  • Washing dishes and taking out the garbage are part of v2

     

    Good to know about the scrolling problem as well just in case we have others run into that.

  • I had the same problem as the original poster, and I'm providing information (and would be glad to provide whatever else may help) to improve future releases.

    I am running Windows 7, 64bit and Code Composer 4.2.1.00004 .  The problem originally showed up under 4.1.2, and I upgraded in an attempt to fix it.

    I am currently using Oracle's JDK 1.6.0_23 to run eclipse, but the problem also occurred under the jre that comes with eclipse (JRE 1.5, I believe).  I switched to the JDK in an attempt to troubleshoot before finding this thread.

    The problem occurred after using CCSV4.1.2 for quite a while, and I am uncertain what may have caused it.  My most recently installed programs were an update to Tortoise SVN, the drivers for Wacom's line of Bamboo tablets, and a recent series of automatic updates to Windows, shown in the screen capture below.

    Adding the linked plugins solved my problem.  I will note, however, that there were no existing swt plugins for them to replace.

     

    Best of luck,

  • Thanks for the feedback Rob. The issue is definitely caused by some conflict with another running application. There is no definitive list of apps that conflict but I have heard of such apps as setPoint, Hydravision, among the list

  • I wasn't running those, but I was constantly running Firefox-64 and Visual Studio 2010-64, putty, and Notepad++ along side Code Composer.
