CCS 2.10.0 output filenames are truncated to short [DOS] name

Started by Steve Thornhill January 9, 2002
I've just updated from CCS 1.20 to 2.10 My development environment is WIN 98
and a DSK6711
When I compile example programs my output filenames are truncated to short (DOS)
formats.
Compiling slicecfg_c.c outputs slicec~1.obj. The linker then fails with a can't
open file error.
Manually renaming the output file allows it to link properly. Does anyone have
any information about this
"feature".
thanks ,
Steve Thornhill

Steve,

Once I saw somewhere on the net a clause "this is not a bug, this is
a feature" :)

That same truncation occurs with TI's C6x code gen. tools v 4.00 (i.e.
CCS 1.20). I thought it has been fixed in v 4.10, but obviously I was
wrong... Supposedly the only option left for now is to avoid using long
names.

Sorry that it is not of much help.

Andrew


I Installed CCS 2.10.0 on a Windows 2000 system and compiled the example
program
without a problem. Apparently it is a feature with WIN 98 only.
I guess the simplest work around is to upgrade to Win 2K.

Steve, Andrew,

there is an easy solution for your problem. Look into your win.ini. I'll
guess you will find the following lines:

[Code Composer]
BackgroundCompile=SAFE

Remove them and the problem with the filenames should be gone.

Best Regards,
Robert
