I'm not a CCS C user, but my first guess would be that Piklab
can't find the ccsc compiler executable.  Is the directory
where the compiler lives in the path that Piklab searches?

Can you execute that same command if entered from a command
line environmen (aka terminal window)?

Second guess is that make engine in Piklab is objecting to
something about the options or utility programs but I have
no idea what.


One comment on your C code:

I would never assume that the terminal condition test would
evaluate to true when the test statement is empty / null.  I
would write it as

#define TRUE 1  // always up in the top part of the souce

then

for ( ; TRUE ; )
{
} // for

or

while (TRUE)
{
} // while

to ensure that the compiler would always evaluates the loop
condition the way I wanted and to self-document it for other
programmers later [ "other" shall include myself a few years
after initially writting the code :-) ].
