Error compiling using Arduino 1.5.7

Print Post  
Hello,

Using Arduino 1.5.7 gives me a compiling error.
Compiling without using Visual Studio, no problems
Using version 1.5.6-r2 no problems
I am using the latest version of Visual Micro (1407.10 sp2)
I also did a reset of the user interface and a reload of the tool chain.
What could be the problem?

Regards,

Marc

Hi,

Thanks for the clear report. This is a known issue for a couple of users who have other applications installed that conflict with the current version of cygwin.exe (that is part of the Arduino Ide tool chain).

The 1.5.7 Arduino includes a new gcc toolchain that works slightly differently to previous versions on windows. We initial found that the toolchain could not locate the cygwin because the Arduino Ide installs it into two different folders.

When Visual Micro runs the tool chain it ensures that the PATH environment variable is extended to include the location of the Arduino Ide/cygwin program. (fyi: the PATH change is localized to the execution of the tool chain and is not written back to your Computer>Environment settings)

This has worked for most people but it doesn't work if your pc already has a folder in the global or user PATH environment variable.

In the next release Visual Micro will append the Arduino cygwin location to the PATH variable so that the Arduino version of cygwin takes priority, during the compile, over any other software on your pc.

The should be an sp3 with a fix shortly or you can use this info to add the arduinoexe folder to your PATH.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. I will try setting the working directory instead of the path. I will also report it to Arduino because it shouldn't be so cumbersome. A simple part of the build process running the gcc programs!

Can you please show your PATH from windows environment variables so I can try to replicate. 

Thanks

More shortly.

Thanks. It's interesting to see you have winavr installed. I will also try that to see if it causes the problem.

Arduino 1.5.7 contains a new updated avr toolchain so it will be something like this that is causing the wrong programs to be found on your pc. It might be that Visual Micro needs to set a working directory to either the arduino folder or the tool chain folder when attempting to run the build command. 

I know Visual Micro already sets the working directory however I can recall off the top of my head which folder it sets.

You should be able to replicate the error by running it in the windows cmd.exe

Code
Select All
C:\arduino-1.5.7/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avr-g++" -c -g -Os -w -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -MMD -mmcu=atmega2560 - F_CPU=16000000L -DARDUINO=157 -DARDUINO_AVR_MEGA2560 -DARDUINO_ARCH_AVR -I"C:\arduino-1.5.7\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino" -I"C:\arduino-1.5.7\hardware\arduino\avr\variants\mega" pp" -o pp.o" -DVISUALMICRO_COMPILER_VER=1


Would you please try adding the following to your Path statement as a test. I think you should add it to the start of the path variable

Code
Select All
C:\arduino-1.5.7/hardware/tools/avr/bin;C:\arduino-1.5.7


Thanks

Great thanks for testing it, must have been the winavr. I will force both the arduino tools and ide folders into the path during compile.
