GCC problem finding gcc_startup_nrf52.s

[Chris]

Hi,

I've done a fair amount with the NRF51822 and Keil on Windows but decided it was time to switch to my native Mac instead of the VM!

Reading all the guides around the place and just stuck a little bit.

I've got all the cross compiling tools installed and paths setup (and I've modified the makefile.common)

I'm trying to compile the simple Blinky example for the new nRF52832 (yay!)

It seems to have trouble finding the gcc_startup_nrf52.s even tho the include paths are all there. I modified the make file to be quite verbose and I even 'ls' the file from the same folder..

Any help appreciated!

Lets take a peek if its there (using the include path that the Makefile is using) and it is!

reformatted because it was unreadable.

Seems to be telling you /Application/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_/bin/arm-non-eabi-gcc doesn't exist, ie it's trying to use a different path for gcc for .s files as .c files.

Can you get it to print out the line it's trying to execute, make -n or something does that.

[Chris]

Sorry bout that, yes it did look particularly atrocious..

[Chris]

I've thrown in the make -n for you.

[RK]

well you can see the difference, it's trying to use a full path for compiling assembler files and it would seem the full path is wrong. For .c files it's just using the simple arm-blah-blah-gcc which I assume is in your path.

Certainly none of my gcc stuff is in /Applications

[Chris]

Well, technically I should be able to put the toolchain anywhere as long as I reference it correctly, therefore I threw it into my Applications folder so its global across users (mind you, I’m only one logged in). Some of the other tutorials have it under usr/local/bin or something like that from memory but technically shouldn’t matter as long as you point to it correctly.. I have it in my exports/path.. and in the .posix makefile.

I see the problem there is it’s doubling the the ‘bin’ (see the /bin/bin which is wrong)… and yes I have it setup in the path so it should for the .s assembly files just reference it the same as it does for the .c files..

Mmh.. now to find out where!
