Problem compiling v1.09 in EclipseArduinoIDE

Hi,

Having tried various tutorials to try and get the Arduino libraries and everything together with Eclipse I have finally found the word document contained in the RepRapFirmware-master folder.

Thankfully this explanation has been easy to follow and I have managed to get almost all the way toward actually compiling the firmware. However at the last step I have hit a hurdle.

Step 11:
"11. In the Arduino toolbar, click on „Verify“ to build the firmware:
Please be aware that Eclipse's code check plugin has a problem resolving the absolute compiler path, however this doesn't matter if you only intend to make a small change in the firmware. Even if Eclipse complains about potential errors, you can now build the firmware without encountering problems.

But if you intend to do serious firmware development, you can get rid of these errors by specifying the absolute C++ compiler path. To do so, right-click on the top node in the Project Explorer (RepRapFirmware) and go to „Properties → C/C++ Build → Environment“:


If you're using Windows:

1. Search for „A.COMPILER.PATH.WINDOWS“
2. Edit this value and replace „$(HOME)“ with „C:\Users\“

Otherwise:

1. Search for „A.COMPILER.PATH“
2. Edit that value and replace „$(HOME)“ with „/home/“

Then click on „OK“ and all error messages shoud disappear. However, some warnings about uninitialized values may retain in the Problem list. You can hide them as well by going to „Window → Preferences“ and then to „C/C++ → Code Analysis“. There you need to look for an item called „Class members should be properly initialized“ and untick it:"

The compiled firmware at the moment shows 143 errors. I followed the above instructions but the "A.COMPILER.PATH.WINDOWS" does not exist on my selection even though I am using Windows 8.1?

I have tried making the adjustments to the "A.COMPILER.PATH" but this did nothing unfortunately. Then I tried a few other variations which did not work either.

Unfortunately things got worse after that as I wanted to take the path to original by selecting "Restore Defaults". This however stripped everything from the page leaving only "CWD" and "PWD" environment.

So I still have 143 errors and no environment variable settings

Does anyone have any idea what I should do to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

All of these instructions referred to Arduino Eclipse Plugin v2.2, but I think meanwhile v2.4 has been released. I have not tested that version yet, so I cannot say what needs to be adjusted to get it working nicely. Maybe you should downgrade to v2.2 first if you insist on compiling it with Eclipse.

But I guess the easiest way to build RepRapFirmware on Windows would be to run "Make.ps1" from my own firmware fork, see [github.com] My README file provides some instructions about how it can be invoked, too. Just make sure you install the latest Arduino toolchain and my own Duet board files from my Hardware directory before you run it.

Throughout the process I had tried various installation techniques and versions... I couldn't actually get the 2.4 working.

The version I have installed is V2.2 AFAIK.

If i get properly nowhere with this chris I may try your method. But i'm so tantalisingly close i'd like to persevere with this install. Thanks.

Thanks

Why is everyone trying to compile the firmware by themselves? It is normally not necessary.

Because it's a fundamental process that keeps open-source software alive. But I agree that most settings can be configured using G-codes and don't need to be set in the firmware as is the case with Marlin or other 3d printer firmware.

It's astonishing how many tries to compile the firmware by themselves without knowing a little bit of programming. I am afraid that mostly come from the cheap printers where you have to do this. Otherwise I would not have any problems with this and I would support it of course.

Very helpful guys.... Thanks...

1. I am planning on some development of the firmware.
2. I do have programming knowledge. If I didn't however why would using this format be frowned upon by a beginner?
3. My problem is with the eclipsearduino IDE setup and settings... Something which is new to me.

Anyone with any input that will help me move forward? Even if there is a methid I can use to get back the missing environment variables?

Thanks

Would you care to share a few of the 143 error messages you are getting?

Getting source code to compile has very little to do with programming knowledge. I write programs for a living, but finding the correct combination of OS, compiler version and library versions in order to compile someone else's project can be a nightmare - often taking far longer than the changes I need to make to the program. It's even worse if you need to produce exactly the same executable that was supplied with the source code.

Please provide the error messages and accompanying lines of code as shown in the Console window, starting with the first few errors shown when trying to compile the file that stops the compilation. No screenshots please, cut and paste the lines from the console window instead.

Dave, in my eyes it is astonishing how much tries to compile the firmware by their own without having the need to do that. I guess it is related to the cheap printers where some options can only be changed inside the firmware as they not provide a configuration file or only very few options as far as I know. It is indeed often hard to recompile foreign source code, especially if a specific version of an external library is needed, for example.

So it failed to find a make program. Search for one on your computer - with luck you will find one in the Arduino installation - and put it on your PATH.

I found two make files in the folders:

C:\cpp-eclipse\reprapfirmware_workspace\RepRapFirmware\Hardware\duet\sam\system\CMSIS\Examples\cmsis_example\gcc_arm.

I have added these to the environmental variable PATHs in windows. I have also changed the base C.COMPILER.PATH in eclipse to begin with C:\ as specified in the above instruction.

The console error has now changed to this:

I have tried adding the above make destinations to C.COMPILER.PATH and PATH in eclipse environment variables but the error message remains constant.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you either haven't installed the Arduino extension for Eclipse, or you haven't configured it with the correct path to your Arduino installation.

I'm willing to say it's more likely to be "or you haven't configured it with the correct path to your Arduino installation."

Is there anyone able to share what path information is held in all the areas of software of their setup so i can compare. Other than that i'm not sure how to proceed?

Also you are compiling with a very recent version of Arduino, judging by the path that it is looking for the compiler in. I am not sure the Arduino plugin works with recent versions. I use Arduino 1.5.8.

”Make” is not a part of Arduino IDE Ver 1.5.7 and newer versions.
[eclipse.baeyens.it] (press "All os comments" and also "Windows")

Download "Make" from [ftp.equation.com]

I have gone back and started again. Using the Word document in 1.09.

This is with 1.6.1 and Luna.

the error seems to be different. The Console information is below:

ANYONE ANY IDEAS???

The Arduino plugin for Eclipse is fussy and only works with certain versions of Eclipse and Arduino. Please read the build instructions in T3P3's blog entry. In particular, if you are using the same version of the Arduino plugin that I am, you need to use Eclipse Juno and Arduino 1.5.8.

I intend to the drop the Arduino core and plugin from the build system when I have time. For the Duet NG I am dropping Eclipse too because I find it very temperamental, and Eclipse C++ projects are too difficult to move between computers. Chrishamm and Dan Newman already use completely different build systems for their firmware forks.

Since I can't see the problem in the current setup I'll try the Juno and 1.5.8 combination.... I can only see the 1.5.8 BETA online is this correct?

Cheers

I have installed Juno SR2.
I have installed Arduino 1.5.8 BETA.

I'm having problems however straight away when trying to "Install New Software..." from the Help menu.

When using the link [www.baeyens.it]... The menu only offers V2.4.0.201512062147 ( I was hoping to locate V2.2... I have tried numerous links and none will find 2.2)

Then even if I try and install the version it does find it fails
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Arduino Eclipse Extensions 2.4.0.201512062147 (it.baeyens.arduino.feature.feature.group 2.4.0.201512062147)"

I'm seriously at my wits end with this.... It's not like I can give up though as I NEED to do some development in the software for my university project... I honestly can't believe that getting a working piece of firmware to compile can be so difficult!...

Any suggestions

You can download v2.2 direct from [eclipse.baeyens.it].

Right OK I think I might be doing something wrong then... I have a few questions...

The last link provides a file which holds a version of eclipse with a preinstalled plugin... This is what I used in the first iteration where there was numerous errors.

It doesn't however appear to have any plugin variables I can install through the "Install New Software" menu in Eclipse Juno?

Is just finding the plugin files and copying them over to the Juno version the right way to do it?

Copying the files appeared to have worked... But if there may be an issue with that please let me know...

I'm now at a stage of compilation and having a similar problem to earlier where I have no make file being found... The last time there was a range to be used (gcc/gcc_atmel/gcc_arm).

To make sure I'm doing this correctly... I located the make files in...
C:\eclipse\workspace\RepRapFirmware\Hardware\duet\sam\system\CMSIS\Examples\cmsis_example\gcc_atmel.
C:\eclipse\workspace\RepRapFirmware\Hardware\duet\sam\system\CMSIS\Examples\cmsis_example\gcc_arm.
C:\eclipse\workspace\RepRapFirmware\Hardware\duet\sam\system\CMSIS\Examples\cmsis_example\gcc.

I am copying these paths into my PATH environment variables in windows? Is that correct? Does it need all three?

Latest error message?? Having completed the steps above? Any ideas?

My guess is that this message:

means this this file (the C++ compiler):

Having changed the PATH in A.COMPILER.PATH to the same folder mentioned it still did not work.

I've reinstalled Arduino 1.5.8 as the original path was in Program Files (x86)... Reinstalled it to C:\Arduino-1.5.8.... Just incase the spaces in Program Files were an issue

I now have the path of the compiler (A.COMPILER.PATH) matching that of your location dc42..."C:\Arduino-1.5.8\hardware\tools\gcc-arm-none-eabi-4.8.3-2014q1\bin\" is exactly what is in A.COMPILER.PATH.
