Hightec compiler problem with SPC5Studio

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the Hightech compiler used in SPC5Studio, I try to explain my issue: on my PC I have installed the SPC5Studio v5.0.0 and the Hightec compiler toolchain v4.6.6.1.

I configured the SPC5 Studio to use the Hightech compiler by adding the following values in the PATH:

C:\HighTec\toolchains\powerpc\v4.6.6.1\bin;

C:\HighTec/licensem

situated under

Windows -> Preferences ->C/C++ -> Build -> Environment  (see the attachment )

I made a test project, builded it and all worked fine, but if I close the SPC5 Studio then reopen it and build again the project (after a clean) the buildin doesn't work anymore; I checked under

Windows -> Preferences ->C/C++ -> Build -> Environment and the values:

C:\HighTec\toolchains\powerpc\v4.6.6.1\bin;

C:\HighTec/licensemanager

were missing in the PATH, the only way to make it work is to copy again in the PATH these two values.

Then I tried to add a new variable and copy in it the two values, but it didn't work too.

I'm asking if there is a way to avoid the copy of the values every time I close and open the SPC5 Studio.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Stefano ,

Have you followed 

https://community.st.com/0D50X00009bMM5XSAW

 ?

Could you confirm that you are in SPC5Studio 5.4.0 ?

it is a bug in SPC5Studio Core

it will be corrected in the next release

in checking the coherency the PATH variable, the PATH Variable is not persistent

1) could you update your system environment in Windows

2) and check Append variables to native environment

    Best regards

Hello,

I'm facing the same issue with SPC5Studio v. 5.0.0

I've added the following paths to the Windows PATH environment variable:

C:\HIGHTEC\toolchains\powerpc\v4.6.6.1\bin

C:\HIGHTEC\licensemanager

but still it is not working,

Is there any workaround to overcome the issue without having to update SPC5Studio to the latest release?

Thank you.

Regards

Alessandro

yes ,

Do not remove

C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.gnu.win32_1.0.0.201706271047\gnutools;C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.hightec.win32_1.0.0.201306281422\hightec\ppc-ht-eabi\bin;C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.hightec.win32_1.0.0.201306281422\hightec\bin;C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.gnu.gcc.ppcvle.win32_1.0.0.201702151735\toolchain\powerpc-eabivle\bin;C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.gnu.gcc.ppcvle.win32_1.0.0.201702151735\toolchain\bin;�?�?�?

Add in hightec PATH (at the beginning of the String) ..

WARNING : do not remove the next strings which GnuTools PATH and the others Free GCC PATH

Because SPC5Studio is going to check the coherency of GNU TOOLS path

c:\HIGHTEC\toolchains\powerpc\v4.6.5.0\bin\;C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.gnu.win32_1.0.0.201706271047\gnutools;C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.hightec.win32_1.0.0.201306281422\hightec\ppc-ht-eabi\bin;C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.hightec.win32_1.0.0.201306281422\hightec\bin;C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.gnu.gcc.ppcvle.win32_1.0.0.201702151735\toolchain\powerpc-eabivle\bin;C:\SPC5Studio\eclipse\plugins\com.st.tools.spc5.tools.gnu.gcc.ppcvle.win32_1.0.0.201702151735\toolchain\bin;�?�?
