No Such File or Directory Install Error

[jcady]

I'm installing on Windows 8.1 (NTFS file system). I downloaded the compressed installation file and extracted it to C:\gcc4mbed. Every time I run the win_install.cmd script it downloads the files and then fails when installing. Here are the logs:

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Thanks!

I have an idea as to what may be causing the issue. Let me investigate.

[adamgreen]

Nope. That idea didn't pan out. I shouldn't be explicitly trying to specify a "Program Files.." path from my makefiles.

@jcady92 The sh: part of your error message is very unexpected to me. It is like make is trying to run a Posix shell even on Windows. A bit of additional information would help me to track this down:

• How are you running win_install.cmd? Are you first entering a command shell and then running it or double-clicking on it in Explorer? If you are using a shell is it cmd.exe or some kind of Posix one like Cygwin?
• From your command shell, can you dump your PATH and paste it in a comment here so that I can see if there is anything obvious grabbing some unexpected attention.
• From your command shell, can you also try dumping the MAKE environment variable to see if it has been set?
• Even though the install failed, you should have gotten far enough that there is now a BuildShell.cmd batch file in your gcc4mbed directory. Can you run that and then issue the following make command manually from the shell that it sets up: make VERBOSE=1 clean Send me the output of that build attempt if it still fails to complete successfully.
• You can also try going running the BuildShell.cmd batch file and then go into the samples\HelloWorld directory and issuing a make clean from there to see if it works even when the build from the root fails.

I have tried to reproduce your problem on my Windows 8.1 install and I can't. It works as expected.

[jcady]

1) I tried clicking on the .cmd in explorer and running it from the cmd.exe shell, both with admin privileges and without. Same result.

2) Here's my PATH variable:

3) It doesn't look like I have a MAKE environment variable.

4) Here's the output:

sh: C:\Program: No such file or directory
make: *** [samples.clean] Error 127

5) I did a make clean and it looked to successfully clean the sample. So I did a make and it looks like it successfully built the HelloWorld sample. Does this mean it installed correctly?

Hope that helps diagnose!

[adamgreen]

Thanks for the extra information.

So I did a make and it looks like it successfully built the HelloWorld sample. Does this mean it installed correctly?

Yes, it just means that the makefile in the root isn't working as expected but the project specific ones are.

I have attempted to make a fix in the working branch to correct this problem. You could try downloading https://github.com/adamgreen/gcc4mbed/archive/working.zip and see if that installs with no errors.

[jcady]

That did the trick! Installed perfectly. Thanks Adam!

[adamgreen]

Ok. I will get it merged into the master branch as soon as I can.

Thanks for reporting, helping me troubleshoot, and testing.

Fixed now merged into master.

Thanks again,
