GCC/Eclipse tutorial: `make`: The system cannot find the file specified

[Erlend]

Hi,

I'm using Windows and I am following this tutorial.

I am at the point where I need to write make at the example project.

I get this error

as warned in the tutorial. However, I have checked the path in Makefile.windows:

ifeq ($(findstring 86, $(ProgramFiles)), )
	PROGFILES := C:/Program Files
else
	PROGFILES := C:/Program Files (x86)
endif

GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := $(PROGFILES)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/5.4 2016q3
GNU_VERSION := 5.4.3
GNU_PREFIX := arm-none-eabi

The actual path is \Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\5.4 2016q3. I have also added its bin directory to the Path.

Hi,

Build tools are by default installed to C:\Program Files\GNU ARM Eclipse\Build Tools\VERSION\bin or C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU ARM Eclipse\Build Tools\VERSION\bin if you installed the package that was referenced in the tutorial. Please verify that mkdir.exe is located in this folder.

Indeed, there is no mkdir.exe in C:\Program Files\GNU ARM Eclipse\Build Tools\2.6-201507152002\bin. I had installed the most downloaded version from here. Now, I tried to install the latest 32-bit version instead. Indeed it goes to Program Files (x86), but it still does not include mkdir.exe.

mkdir.exe got included in 'build tools' v.2.7 -xxx, recommend to update to the latest version. Alternatively, make a copy of busybox.exe and rename it to mkdir.exe

Thanks, it works now!
