Compilation attempt

[mateuszdrewniak]

Hi, I'm trying to compile gnu-tools-for-stm32 (arm 7-2018-q2-update) and get the binary that comes with STM32CubeIDE (1.5.1)

com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.7-2018-q2-update.win32_1.5.0.202011040924\tools - original_cube_IDE\bin>arm-none-eabi-gcc -v

...
gcc version 7.3.1 20180622 (release) [ARM/embedded-7-branch revision 261907] (GNU Tools for STM32 7-2018-q2-update.20190328-1800)

I compile with success the package from the arm website from sources
https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm/7-2018-q2-update

\gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2018-q2-update-win32\bin>arm-none-eabi-gcc -v

...
gcc version 7.3.1 20180622 (release) [ARM/embedded-7-branch revision 261907] (GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors 7-2018-q2-update)

But STM32 introduced paches and there is a difference so it tries to compile this official repository.

I have two problems:

1. When executing the built-prerequistes.sh script
   line:

+2024-06-16:06:51:39 (./build-prerequisites.sh:237): main(): python3.6 /home/mdrewniak/toolchain_stm32/gnu-tools-for-stm32-7-2018-q2-update.20230911-0830/src/liblongpath-win32/helper.py --generate /home/mdrewniak/toolchain_stm32/gnu-tools-for-stm32-7-2018-q2-update.20230911-0830/build-mingw/liblongpath-win32 --triplet x86_64-w64-mingw32

 #include <dpapi.h>

               ^

compilation terminated.

2. Anyway, I wanted to run build-toolchain.sh and check if I could get linux packages. It seems that the execution of the build_toolchain.sh script ends with an error where I expected, I receive packets with pkg folder.
   -gnu-tools-for-stm32-7-2018-q2-update~-linux
   -gnu-tools-for-stm32-7-2018-q2-update~-linux-build
   -gnu-tools-for-stm32-7-2018-q2-update~-linux-install
   and (I think) when creating a package for win32, the script ends with an error:

Could anyone give any hints, or maybe @stmicroelectronics-github will write what versions of x86_64-w64-mingw32 I should use.

Thanks

Hi, could you share the dockerfile (if it can be with ubuntu better) for the installation of stm32? i have tried but without success. Thank you very much

@mateuszdrewniak if this is still relevant, here's my Dockerfile: https://github.com/dbeef/gnu-tools-for-stm32-docker
