Error launching external scanner

[RemoRitzmann]

Hello

After reinstalling XMOS Desktop Tools 9.9.2 and creating the sample project:
File -> New -> XC-2 LED Project
I got this error message:

Description Resource Path Location Type
Error launching external scanner info generator (xcc -E -v -dD -dM D:/.../XMOS-Workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.xc) XC-2 LED Project -1 C/XC Problem

Does anyone know how to deal with that?
Thanks, Remo

Hi Remo,

That looks like an error you get when the command line tools are not on your path. How did you start XDE?

Hi Mike

Thats amazing, yes - I have Windows 7 and when I start it with the "XMOS Development Environment (9.9.2)" Link on the Desktop and clean the project everything works fine.
But when I use the Windows Taskbar Icon "xde" the error apears.

Thanks for the reply! Now I can go on.

Regards, Remo

Hi,
I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of this build error:

Error launching external scanner info generator (xcc -E -P -v -dD D:/My Documents/xmos/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.core/specs.xc) usbaudio Unknown C/XC Problem

It says the location is 'unknown', but I was able to get to specs.xc, which is an empty file. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

Can you provide basic information like Operating System, XDE version, which version of java etc?
