Missing Macro screens in C/C++ Build screen

Doug Baker

I am running windows 7 64 bit and I am missing screens in the macros tab (see printscreen).  I have installed CCS4 two more times in different locations and done all the updates and I still have the same problem of missing the macros screens.  Also, when I first started using CCS4 ver 4.1, all the screens were missing in the C/C++ build (see also the link to the post below.  Over the summer TI sent me two JRE files to fix the problem and those two JRE files are still required after installing CCS4.1 from the DVD and doing  all the online update to 4.2.  I don’t know if the JRE patch to fix the C/C++ build screen from the original fix is compatible with 4.2 but that’s just a guess.

Original problem fixed by the JRE files.

    Hi Doug,

    The JRE files that you received earlier in the year does not address all the 64-bit UI drawing issues. The macros tab is one of those are not fixed. Unfortunately there is not a workaround for that one. You may still be able to set macros from another place. Let me look into this

    Hi Doug,

    One workaround is to set macros at the global workspace level, using the Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Managed Build page. These macros will apply to all projects in the workspace.

    Another option is to try CCSv5. There are no UI drawing issues in v5. The environment is a little different but in most cases should look the same.

    Thanks

    Just a question but is there a reason the JRE files were not part of the online update from 4.1 to 4.2?  Are they still in test and not ready for release?

    It will be in the 4.2.2 release.

    The workaround does not show the PROJECT_BUILD_DIR, PROJECT_ROOT macros etc.  I will probably use a different PC and go back to XP.  Do you know when this is planned to be fixed if it is planned to be fixed at all?

    How stable is CCS 5.0?

    You should see the macros at the global preferences. At least I do when I use the new JAR files.

    Because the UI issue is an issue with the Eclipse version we are using, we don't have any current plans to address this as we are reluctant to make modifications to stock Eclipse.

    CCSv5 is based off later versions of Eclipse which have the the fix. CCSv5.0.0 LR (Limited Release) has been officially released - it is a legitimate release. It was targeted for a limited audience (people working on Linux host and needing Linux debug capability) but others are welcome to try it out. What device are you using btw?

    I am using a Stellaris 9000 series device.

    Unfortunately the v5 Limited Release does not support Stellaris. You'll have to set the macros globally for now. Sorry.
