[IoT-LAB] build failed on master: recipe for target 'link' failed #8369

Closed eli0tc closed 6 years ago

eli0tc commented 6 years ago

Description

Wether I try to build the examples for the m3 node (following the tutorial https://www.iot-lab.info/tutorials/riot-compilation/) on the Strasbourg site or the Grenoble site, the build fails and I get an error message.

Steps to reproduce the issue

As stated in the tutorial: <login>@<site>:~/iot-lab/parts/RIOT/examples/default$ BOARD=iotlab-m3 make all

Actual results

This is a bug/missing feature in older binutils versions. Is it possible to upgrade the arm toolchain there? Could you post the version of the tools installed? Use the script in RIOT/dist/tools/ci/print_toolchain_versions.sh

I tried an apt-get install build-essential with no luck ; I don't have the right to do so. Here is the output of print_toolchain_versions.sh:

The GCC ARM toolchains on the iot-lab frontends (this is a global issue there) are a bit outdated. I'm looking into this to see how we can update them.

In the mean time, you can try building against the latest stable version: 2017.10, instead of master, in step 2. use:

     git clone -b 2017.10-branch https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT.git parts/RIOT
aabadie commented 6 years ago

Ok, I pushed the fix for the make setup-riot used in step 2.

Regarding the update of the toolchain on iot-lab, this is under discussion in the maintenance team. Because IoT-LAB provides support for several OSes, including RIOT, Contiki and TinyOS, we have to think to a good solution and do some testing before.

Also, this problem is only IoT-Lab related, so next time please send an email to admin@iot-lab.info or open an issue on the IoT-LAB github project: https://github.com/iot-lab/iot-lab/issues.
