When I attempt to build my project the following error occurs:

I'm running on Win7. Does this mean that its looking for 'CreateProcess', or another executable?

Thanks,

Hi Devan,

This seems like the same issue as in [1]. Could you try the suggestion mentioned by Joey in comment #3?

How about you call gcc with full path like "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\4.9 2014q4\bin\arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe"? Remember to add the quote to avoid the space-in-path issue.

And from below information piece you provided:

Configured with: ../gcc-4.7.0/configure

Seems you are not calling correct arm-none-eabi-gcc whose version is 4.9.

Using the absolute path solved the problem.
Apologies and thanks for your time.
