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

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

HI,

according to the actual configuration of your system.

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

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.

what to to with these spaces (' ') ?

RE: GCC error

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

RE: GCC error

Håkon Alseth — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 12:36:13 GMT

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

Can you please post the updated error message?

RE: GCC error

Manoj Hiwarkar — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 12:18:51 GMT

See the first message

RE: GCC error

Håkon Alseth — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 10:37:12 GMT

Please post the error you're seeing.

RE: GCC error

Manoj Hiwarkar — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 09:09:44 GMT

Still the issue persist.

Try setting C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\8 2019-q3-update\bin\

Cheers,

beginner for what ? I have followed all the procedure and able to compile it properly with SDK 13 and earlier. But I am facing the issue only with SDK 14 and later.

Then you're going to have to seek-out some tutorials on how to properly set up Eclipse for yourself.

There are plenty available - search this forum for starters.

You will need to be familiar with programming IDEs in general.

You will have to learn how to read, understand, and act on messages like that.

Again, it is really not a beginner's task - do you have colleagues / supervisors / teachers who could help you?

So did you do that?

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

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