CCS/TMS320F28335: Program "C:/ti/ccsv8/utils/bin/gmake" is not found in PATH

Part Number: TMS320F28335
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I have been using CCS8.0 for a long time but suddenly this error is occuring:

*** Build of configuration Debug for project Example_2805xECap_Capture_Pwm ****

C:\ti\ccsv8\utils\bin\gmake -k all

"C:\\ti\\ccsv8\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k all
Cannot run program "C:\ti\ccsv8\utils\bin\gmake": The system cannot find the file specified.


Error: Program "C:\ti\ccsv8\utils\bin\gmake" not found in PATH

Error: Program "C:/ti/ccsv8/utils/bin/gmake" is not found in PATH

Though i have checked the path and this file is present there. I have also followed the steps like:

1. disabling the antivirus, allow permission to ccstudio in firewall and then installing.

2. Reinstalling with new workspace.

anybody can provide the solution to this?

    Antivirus and related security software is usually the main cause of this error. Disabling such software usually resolve the issue. Your case must be a different issue.

    Can you check the permissions of the gmake executable? Can you run it manually without issue?

    If so, can you temporarily modifying the system PATH so that only the directories related to CCS are in there? You can open a new console and set the PATH that way, and then browse to the ccs executable (ccsv8\eclipse\ccstudio.exe) and run it. 

    Thanks

  • Hello Ki,

    Can you check the permissions of the gmake executable- i have checked and the permissions are ok.

    Can you run it manually without issue?-I tried by double clicking the gmake.exe file and there was no error message popped up.

    If so, can you temporarily modifying the system PATH so that only the directories related to CCS are in there?- I am unable to find the setting in the software for this, could you please give the steps.

    Regards

    If you echo the PATH in the command prompt, there usually is a lot of stuff in the PATH:

    hence use the "set" command to set the PATH to only have paths needed by CCS to run.

    > set PATH=[path];[path]; etc

    just keep that paths that point to things related to CCS. Since paths can vary depending on the user's environment, you will need to figure out what paths are needed.

    after setting the path, launch CCS manually by running <CCS8 INSTALL DIR>\ccsv8\ccs\eclipse\ccstudio.exe from the same command prompt

  • Hello Ki, 

    thanks for the steps but the problem still persist even though the path is included.

  • Please provide the project metadata files. Those files would be the three .*project files in the project folder. Zip them up and attached the zip to this thread.

    Thanks

    ki

  • I am attaching the zip file.

    project file.rar

  • Thanks. Your project metadata looks fine. I can build the project without issue.

    When I carefully check your last screenshot again, I noticed something odd in the PATH. The directory before c:\ti\ccsv8\utils\bin does have a semicolon separator at the end. It looks like a whitespace. There should be a semicolon like the other directories (except for the last directory in the path). Can you carefully check your PATH again?

    Thanks

    ki

  • Hello Ki,

    Sorry for the late reply.

    I went through it but everything is looking normal in the path.

  • Hello ki,

     I have noticed one thing that when i am installing the ccs in my system, everytime there is a firewall permission window pop up for tidcs(though have allowed in the firewall settings) which previously never occurred and using the same installation file in other systems, this firewall permission is not coming and there is no error in build as well.

    Regards,

    Avichal

  • Is your username "KARTHIK R"? If so, the whitespace character can cause an issue. Please see:

    https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/81/t/740719?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=faq%3Atrue

    Can you try with a user account that does not have any spaces in the username?

    Thanks
