Compilation fails

Ensure that the selected Target Deployment Port matches your compiler; there may be several Target Deployment Ports for one OS, each of which targets a different compiler. If you are unsure, you can check the full name of a Target Deployment Port by opening any of the .ini files located in the Target Deployment Port directory.

TDP compilation fails

When using the -I- linker option, the TDP fails to compile. This is because the following line is added to the instrumented file:

#include "<path to target directory>/TP.h"

where TP.h includes other files using the #include syntax, such as:

#include "atlclock.h"

where atlclock.h is in the same directory as "TP.h". If you use the -I- flag, the compiler no longer searches the same directory as the current file (TP.h) and therefore cannot find atlclock.h. If you cannot remove the -I- flag, you must add a -I flag for the compiler to find the include files required by the TDP.
