7.4.1 Required Non-Texas Instruments Software

To use the self-contained run-time-support build process to rebuild a library with custom options, the following are required:

• sh (Bourne shell)
• gmake (GNU make 3.81 or later)

More information is available from GNU at https://www.gnu.org/software/make. GNU make (gmake) is also available in earlier versions of Code Composer Studio. GNU make is also included in some UNIX support packages for Windows, such as the MKS Toolkit, Cygwin, and Interix. The GNU make used on Windows platforms should explicitly report "This program build for Windows32" when the following is executed from the Command Prompt window:

gmake -h

All three of these programs are provided as a non-optional feature of CCS 5.1. They are also available as part of the optional XDC Tools feature if you are using an earlier version of CCS.

The mklib program looks for these executables in the following order:

1. in your PATH
2. in the directory getenv("CCS_UTILS_DIR")/cygwin
3. in the directory getenv("CCS_UTILS_DIR")/bin
4. in the directory getenv("XDCROOT")
5. in the directory getenv("XDCROOT")/bin

If you are invoking mklib from the command line, and these executables are not in your path, you must set the environment variable CCS_UTILS_DIR such that getenv("CCS_UTILS_DIR")/bin contains the correct programs.
