linux installer not running, or installing anything

[EdwinFairchild]

Ive ran the .deb file and all I get is the output below. Ive tried different permission settings with no luck. I already have arm gnu tools on my system, I am trying to use the install in hopes that it will resolve my build issue /home/eddie/arm/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/10.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lcr_newlib_nohost

Hi @EdwinFairchild,

Looking at the error it seems that you are trying to build a project using a GCC that does not include the "Arm GNU Toolchain add-ons" - https://github.com/nxp-mcuxpresso/vscode-for-mcux/wiki/Dependency-Installation#additional-individual-components.

There are two possible solutions for this:

• Install a full Arm GCC with the above-mentioned add-on: from MCUXpresso Installer, install the "Arm GNU Toolchain" category. You'll then have to modify the project to use the new toolchain (update "ARMGCC_DIR" from cmake-kits.json and "toolchainPath" from mcuxpresso-tools.json). New toolchain is located under "~/.mcuxpressotools/" (next version of the extension will offer the possibility to switch to a different toolchain from the UI.)
• Install only the above-mentioned add-on and continue to use your own build tool: use MCUXpresso Installer, install the "Arm Gnu Toolchain add-ons" and manually copy the content of the folder "~/.mcuxpressotools/arm-gnu-toolchain-add-ons...." over your build tool. Libraries included in "Arm Gnu Toolchain add-ons" are built for 12.2 GCC, but they should work for GCC 10.3.1.
