GCC error

[Manoj Hiwarkar]

I am getting this error again and again despite that I have copied the right path and version to Makefile.windows file.

C:\Nrf_Env\nRF5SDK14101dda907\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_beacon\pca10040e\s112\armgcc>make

So did you do that?

As already noted, this would all be done for you with SES: 

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/60423/eclipse/245725#245725

Setting up Eclipse is not a task for beginners - or even for faint-hearted veterans!

As of now i have to use eclipse only. You also have given armgcc folder in you sdk Can you help me to get  rid of this issue?

[Håkon Alseth]

If you changed the path, as I suggested, the error message shall also change.

Can you please post the updated error message?

Maybe it's an issue with spaces (' ') embedded within the command; here is an example for a different compiler which I wanted to use from the command line (with a great deal of trouble):

rem: Actual full path is as follows, but invokation must not use spaces (escape with %)
rem:   C:\Program Files (x86)\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 7.4\common\bin\IarBuild.exe
rem:
echo Setting build path to: C:\Program Files(x86)\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 8.4_3\common\bin
rem: SET  path=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 7.4\common\bin;%path%;
SET path==%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 8.4_3\common\bin;%path%;

This is only a suggestion, I don't have a sample for gcc just yet

[Manoj Hiwarkar]

what to to with these spaces (' ') ?

[Nguyen Hoan Hoang]

Just set the path correctly and you'll be fine.  Further more for Eclipse with nRF5x see here https://embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.com/p/ehal-nrf51.html.  I use native Eclipse project, not makefile.  It works best.

btw. For those who haven't use Eclipse. It is not difficult.  Install Eclipse is easy.  Download, put it in a folder of your choice.  Launch it and and go to market place, search ARM and install the ARM GNU plugins.  That's it.

The main difficulty that most people have is the fact that it does not bundle the tool chains.  So you have to install them yourself.  But it is that difficult either.  Follow this blog to easily get Eclipse going embeddedsoftdev.blogspot.com/.../eclipse.html

Real problems are actually the sdk_config.h and the include path jungle of the SDK and all the Nordic tutorials on Eclipse that never worked that got people completely confused and lost.

HI,

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\8 2019-q3-update\bin GNU_VERSION := 4.9.3arm-none-eabi-gcc" --version, ...) failed.
make: ../../../../../../components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.common:129: pipe: No error
Cannot find: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\8 2019-q3-update\bin GNU_VERSION := 4.9.3arm-none-eabi-gcc'.
Please set values in: "E:/Manoj_Hiwarkar/Manoj_Hiwarkar/Offcial_Documents/Danlaw_Documents/All_Nrf_SDK/nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345/components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.windows"
according to the actual configuration of your system.
../../../../../../components/toolchain/gcc/Makefile.common:129: *** Cannot continue. Stop.

still these errors. I have updated the correct valjues in Makefile.windows. Then why ?

[Håkon Alseth]

Looks like the string wasn't terminated, thus it also takes in the rest of the file as an input to GNU_INSTALL_ROOT.

This is my makefile.windows ("/" are for cmd and other shell compatibility):

GNU_INSTALL_ROOT := C:/Program Files (x86)/GNU Tools ARM Embedded/7 2018-q2-update/bin/
GNU_VERSION := 7.3.1
GNU_PREFIX := arm-none-eabi

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

I had the same problem, so I set up the ARM version and then I did compile successful.
