uECC make gives " missing separator" error?

[Mitch996]

Hi, when following this tutorial and trying to make uECC in step B1, I got this error:

    makefile:77: *** missing separator.  Stop.

I tried multiple directories, all gave the same error, last one I tried was:

>nRF5_SDK_14\external\micro-ecc\nrf51_keil\armgcc>make

What should I do?

Which version of ARM GCC are you using? Could you post the entire output of the make command? Which OS are you compiling on? Could you post the content of file components\toolchain\gcc\Makefile.windows if you are compiling on Windows?

OS: Win10.

GCC Tools: Both 4.9 2015q3 and 5.4 2016q?

The 5.4 one told me it could find the makefile.common in components\toolchain\gcc, or there is an error with line 25 of makefile.common.

makefile.windows:

GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/4.9 2015q3
GNU_VERSION := 4.9.3
GNU_PREFIX := arm-none-eabi

The complete output:

C:\NordicSDK\SDKv13\external\micro-ecc\nrf51_keil\armgcc>make
makefile:62: *** missing separator.  Stop.

 A little clarification:

I tried both GNU 4.9 and 5.4, 4.9's error message was given above while 5.4 gave an error message that can be interpreted as either makefile.common not found, or it was found but something wrong with the line 25 of makefile.common.

Please make sure you provide the full path to the GCC binaries in Makefile.Windows, e.g.: 

GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/4.9 2015q3/bin/

Hello, just tried that, did not work either, but the output error message did change to the 5.4 one:

The system cannot find the path specified.
../../../../components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.common:25: *** Cannot continue.  Stop.

Edit: Tried multiple options but no joy. There could be something up with the makefile. Anyway can @hungbui please share a bit on what environment he compiled the whole thing under? Win7? Ubuntu?

[Mitch996]

Hey, may be I'm on to something: If I change  line 16 of the makefile.common from:

    CC      := "$(GNU_INSTALL_ROOT)/bin/$(GNU_PREFIX)-gcc"

to

    CC      := "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\4.9 2015q3\bin\arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe"

the error message becomes:

>makefile:62: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Looks like an environment variable fk-up.  I'm trying to fix it, please advise?
