Arm-gcc error in Mac OSX

[soumil]

Hi,

I am trying to set up the development tools for the NRF52 on my Mac by following this tutorial aaroneiche.com/.../

I am getting the following error when i try to compile the code using the make command

Compiling file: system_nrf52.c make: /usr/local/gcc-arm/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q2/ /bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: No such file or directory make: [_build/system_nrf52.o] Error 1

What could be the reason for this? Any inputs would be appreciated?

Read the blog/tutorial by Nordic about Eclipse/Gcc. Especially the step about editing /components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.posix. Change the first definition of ....ROOT to "/usr/bin" or "/usr" or where ever the arm gcc binary is installed. It seems the toolchain pieces these definitions together to get the path to the compiler. The error message shows the definitions are not correct for your installation.

My answer is inexact from my limited experience on Linux , you will need to discover the exact details yourself.

First find out where the compiler is installed, at a terminal: >which arm-none-eabi-gcc

(For details about the which command: >man which)

Then edit Makefile.posix until the toolchain produces the same path. The error message tells you the path it has cobbled together from Makefile.posix definitions.

I am not familiar with macports. I would guess that it only helps you install, and after that, does not enter into the equation.
