CCS Exec error



Hi,

When I try to build a project in code composer studio 4, I get the following error in console (nothing displayed in "Problems"):

Build error
(Exec error:The system cannot find the file specified.
)

What file cannot be found? What can I do about that?

CCS v4.2.1

Thanks for your help

Best regards,

Andreas

 

  • Try switching the workspace

    What messages are in the build output console? I'm guessing it can't find the build tools (compiler) but I'm not sure. If there are more messages, please let us know.

  • Switching the workspace did not help.
    And there are no other messages in the build output console.

  • I think, that I have the same problem.

    But in addition build-console message in my CCS installation looks like this:

    Build error
    (Exec error:?? ??????? ????? ????????? ????.
    )

    I guessed that is message in Russian "Не удаётся найти указанный файл", but build console, apparently, does not support this encoding.

    Language pack and system regional settings has been setted in according FAQ and Wiki, but has no effect.

    Let me know, please, if you solved this problem.

  • Dear Denis,

    Yes I have solved the problem. It was due to some characters in the file paths that CCS/CG Tools did not like. For example, my project had been placed in "C:\etc\!project". It didn't like the "!" in the file path during compilation.
    You should try to avoid all non-alpha-numeric characters in all the file paths (project directory, code source files etc.) and try again.

    Hope it helps.

    Best regards,

  • Hi,

    I am also facing the same problem . I am using CCS v 4.1 .

    while building the project the error is coming given below :-

    "
    **** Build of configuration Debug for project  ****

    Build error
    (Exec error:The system cannot find the file specified.
