Summary: since booting, I always get "Unknown tool: $(Target.Tools.Compiler)" or "Unknown tool: $(Target.Tools.Assembler)" error message when trying to build projects in Ride7 for the STR911FAW42.

Yesterday, I was able to use Ride7 to compile projects and everything was great.  Usually I leave my computer on, but yesterday I shut it down.  Today, I boot up my computer, and I can not build any of my Ride7 projects.  Depending on what type of file is first in the build process (.c or .s), I get a "Unknown tool: $(Target.Tools.Compiler)" or "Unknown tool: $(Target.Tools.Assembler)" error message and the build process aborts.

Error message if trying to build assembly file:

----------------Make Started: 'demo_local_var_issue' in configuration 'Standard'--------------------------

Building D:\dev\curie\demo_local_var_issue\source\startup.s
 due to missing D:\dev\curie\demo_local_var_issue\obj\startup.obj
 Unknown tool: $(Target.Tools.Assembler)

Build failed

Error message if trying to build c file:

----------------Make Started: 'curie_proc_tf' in configuration 'Standard'--------------------------

Building D:\dev\curie\curie_proc_tf\source\board.c
 due to missing D:\dev\curie\curie_proc_tf\obj\board.obj
 Unknown tool: $(Target.Tools.Compiler)

Build failed

I am using 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise. Information about my Ride7 installation:

  • Component, Version, License, Installed On
  • Ride7, 7.60.15.0327, Standard Version, 2016-02-17
  • RKit-ARM for Ride7, 1.63.16.0085, Lite Suite, 2016-03-29

I saw that someone else on the forums had a similar problem, but all the links to solutions were broken:
