What is DDSC Builder?

Question

I get this compile error and I can't seem to find an answer to it. Thanks for your help. My company will not let me upload a copy of that window that popups with the error. Some of the text is..... 
 Errors occurred during the build. Errors running builder 'DDSC Builder' on project 'B627lk7_RA', Error generating project content. Error loading pin configuration file..... 
 I have a .pincfg file, but it has the wrong name on it. If I rename it to the correct name, the compiler just gives the same error with a different file name. I can't find the DDSC utility anywhere which is causing my problem, I would guess. Please help as my frustration level is very high. I had another person on their computer compile the same code and it worked without error. Very strange, but I am sure I have some problem Thanks.

Hello, 
 Can you try to delete or rename the linker file which is the fsp.ld file under 'script' folder in your project ? 
 It may be that there has been an incompatible update to this file between FSP 4.0.0 and later versions. Deleting/renaming the linker command file will result in re-extraction of the file from the relevant FSP pack on the next full build.

I resolved my problem. Your solution is probably correct, I just did it a different way. 
 Here is what I did. I went on the Renesas web site and noticed a quite newer version which was 5.0, so I downloaded and installed that version. When I ran the 5.0 GUI again, I was warned that the pincfg file was a different 4 version (I had previously installed both version 4 and 4.1). 
 Let me explain. I had installed both versions, one after the other, but not knowing which version I had install first. I was under the assumption that they were different applications. 
 After some time passed, I downloaded some RA6 code from out repo and I got lots of errors saying some #defines were not defines previously. I tracked that down to primarily one file where they should have been but were not included when the code compiled. Something to do with the &lsquo;DDSC Builder&rsquo;. 
 I thought for a while about what to do next, so I checked your forum with no luck for a solution. Then, I checked for a new version and found that there was one, 5, so I installed that one. I noticed that the #defines were not causing the problem this time, it was some other issues, but the report of the .pincfg still being between the 4.0 and 4.1 conflict, I quickly realized I had a version problem. 
 I then had my IT uninstall the programs, and since I had a hunch the version, I needed to install was 4.1, I had that one installed. Now the missing #defines are gone. 
 I made name changes to the file I had originally installed so the next person does not make the same mistake (we have a local cache). 
 I now have a different problem, but I will make a new post if I choose to fix it.
