Compiler: C2000 4.1.3 compiler - Fatal error: could not open source file "Continuing"

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

cl2000.exe from the 4.1.3 C2000 compiler gives the following output:

Fatal error: could not open source file "Continuing"

1 fatal error detected in the compilation of "Continuing".

Compilation terminated.

>> Compilation failure

This is regardless of the flags/filename passed to it.

This happens on my Windows Version 10.0.18362.657 computer, and not on my Windows Version 10.0.18362.535 computer.

Do you know what could cause this error or what it is indicating?

Thanks

  • Version 4.1.3 was released in April 2006.  The dominant Windows OS at the time was Windows XP.

    I've never seen that behavior.

    Then it seems likely the root cause of the problem is somewhere within Windows itself.  Unfortunately, we lack the skills and tools needed to investigate such a problem.  

    I did a simple test with the version 4.1.3 compiler on a Windows system with these specifications:

    • Edition: Windows 10 Pro
    • Version: 1903
    • OS Build: 18362.778

    It seems to work.  If it is practical, consider upgrading your Windows system to this point, or higher.

    Thanks and regards,

  • Hi George,

    Thank you for your response. I did try updating windows, and got some colleagues to test it for me.

    A colleague found a solution: the issue is my TMP/TEMP path have a space in them. Changing these to a path without caused the compiler to work again. I was able to override the value of TMP and TEMP in CCS, and that resolves my issue.

    I'm not sure why I'm not having this issue elsewhere, but my issue is resolved now.

    Thank you very much for your help
