Compiler Error: cannot open linker script file memory.x: No such file or directory

[jaegerh 1]

I am an Arduino user and just discovered Energia for the MSP430.  After installing Energia on my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and following the Getting Starting steps, I loaded the Blink sketch.  Upon compiling I get this error:

 

 

....Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/msp430/bin/../lib/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/../../../../msp430/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file memory.x: No such file or directory

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

 

This must be pretty trivial, because I cannot find anything about this in this forum.  I am hoping someone can enlighten me.

Thanks

Herbert

Did you select a board in the menus for your chip? msp430g2553?

[jaegerh 1]

Yes, I have the MSP430G2231.

Can you post the verbose output of the compilation failure? 

 

1: Turn on verbose output during compilation in the preferences

2: Compile your Sketch and you should see a whole bunch of info in your console

3: Post the output of the console in this thread

O.K. -- I figured it out.  As I thought, it was a trivial problem, somewhat embarrassing.  I ran Energia from a folder deep down in my documents folder.  Once I moved it into the application folder everything worked like a charm.  Thanks for the help!

How many levels was it into the Documents folder? I'd like to get this reproduced and figure out if there is anything that can be done about it.

It could also depend on special characters (spaces, ampersands, dots, etc.) which the environment doesn't accept.

@roadrunner84, you are absolutely right. Let me rephrase my question. 

 

@jaegerh, can you post the entire directory in which Energia was when it failed?

I've just hit exactly the same problem using the rc-switch library from here: https://code.google.com/p/rc-switch/ to control some 433Mhz power switches. 

 

In my case the energia installation was inside "C:\Program Files (x86)\energia-0101E0011\"

 

Moving it to directory without spaces and/or brackets fixed it.

As reference for @@energia, same here:
http://forum.43oh.com/topic/3777-energia-library-bosch-bmp085-template-library/page-2
 
Energia 11 was installed just one level deep ("Other Programs"). Same location worked with Energia 09 and 10.

 

edit: oops, only noticed now that's a revived old thread - but same error message

Hi jaegerh,

 

I'm having exactly the same problem with the Energia 0101E0011 (12/17/2013). Like you I'm running deep in my Documents file. For you it's a simple matter, but for me I don't even know where to change these settings to run somewhere else...

 

Can you tell me exactly what you did ? I can't compile even the simplest program....

 

Thanks...

 

Yes !!! 

 

I did what you said to copy directly to C:/energia and it works. Thanks again...

[energia 485]

Easiest is to copy the energia folder to c:\
