Hello,
I'm running CCS 5.5.0.00077 on two different machines - one is Windows XP, one is Windows 7 (using a floating network license). My WinXP installation works just fine, no problems at all editing, building, and debugging projects at will.
But I cannot get the Win7 installation to build ANYTHING.
For example, if I go:
File->New->CCS Project->(give it any name, any configuration it doesn't matter, and select Empty Project with main.c).
Then immediately select Build Project, I get this error:
"C:\\ti\\ccsv5\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k all
'Building file: ../main.c'
'Invoking: ARM Compiler'
"C:/ti/ccsv5/tools/compiler/arm_5.1.1/bin/armcl" -mv6 --code_state=32 --abi=ti_arm9_abi --include_path="C:/ti/ccsv5/tools/compiler/arm_5.1.1/include" -g --diag_warning=225 --display_error_number --diag_wrap=off --preproc_with_compile --preproc_dependency="main.pp" "../main.c"
Fatal error #1965: cannot open source file "../main.c"
1 catastrophic error detected in the compilation of "../main.c".
Compilation terminated.
Main.c is obviously there, but it doesn't see it. If I go in and change the command-line pattern to name it specifically, I get a bunch more errors about "cannot open .pp file" and even:
INTERNAL ERROR: C:\ti\ccsv5\tools\compiler\arm_5.1.1\bin\armlnk.exe experienced a fatal internal fault
This is a serious problem. Please contact Customer

and help us to continue to make the tools more robust.
The exact same problem happens if I go to the TI Resource Explorer->Examples->(select any example, like the ADC_DISPLAY_RM48)->Import it->Build it. I get a lot of errors, but the first one is:
**** Build of configuration Debug for project ADC_DISPLAY_RM48 ****
"C:\\ti\\ccsv5\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k all
'Building file: ../sys_main.c'
'Invoking: ARM Compiler'

Fatal error #1965: cannot open source file "../sys_main.c"
1 catastrophic error detected in the compilation of "../sys_main.c".
Compilation terminated.
I am totally stumped as to what the issue is. Even if I manage to overcome the compiler not seeing the source file (by manually editing each entry and directly entering in the file name), I get multiple other errors all related to can't find certain files. I feel like I'm missing something simple, but I just can't figure it out.
I've tried the following already:
1) Uninstalling and re-installing CCS,
2) Putting the project on the local C drive (avoiding network drives).
3) Adding files as "Linked" and making sure the Resources all line up (still will crash with ".pp" errors and linking completely fails).
4) Disabling anti-virus software.
5) Making sure no permissions or other file issues are causing a barrier.
There has to be something about the way my Win7 machine is working differently than my WinXP machine, but they both run the same anti-virus software. I just can't build a project on the Win7 machine.
Please help!
