Fails to make HelloWorld sample #52

Closed cyndiac closed 8 years ago

cyndiac commented 8 years ago

I was trying to deploy some sample code using the following commands in linux (this portion also failed while running the linux_install script): cd gcc4mbed/samples/HelloWorld make clean all deploy

But I keep getting this error: ../../gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++: 1: ../../gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting")")

The mbed is mounted and the gcc4mbed deploy command is exported; this doesn't seem like a setup issue since it's throwing a syntax error.

It seems like it is having some kind of problem running arm-none-eabi-g++ on your Linux distro. I guess you could try 2 things that might help narrow down the problem:

gcc4mbed/gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++ --version
cd gcc4mbed/samples/HelloWorld
make VERBOSE=1 clean deploy

If you are running a 64-bit version of Linux then you will need to install 32-bit binary support if you haven't done that already. On Ubunutu 12.04 I use sudo apt-get install ia32-libs but on newer versions I think you might need sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32asound2 to install the equivalent.

Thanks! It makes now. The specific command that I used was sudo apt-get install -y lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 from http://ssb.stsci.edu/ureka/dev/docs/32bit_iraf.html

Apt-get couldn't find the last package you listed, but it seems works fine without it!

Happy to hear that helped. I have always seen it give a file not found error before when the 32-bit libs were missing and not that syntax error. Almost looks like the shell tried to run it as a script or something.

Yeah, that last package looked weird to me as well but it was what I saw listed on one website. I will update the README to include the command that worked for you.

Thanks for the follow-up.

I have updated the "Important Notes" in the working branch to include the apt-get command line which worked for you. Will be pushed to master after the next full test pass.

Thanks again!
