From french forum:
I followed the "Linux - Building and Packaging" wiki

On PI2 with Raspbian and a PI3 with Ubuntu Mate it ends with the same error:
make build_sdk_install load 4.9-xxx version of gcc
But make fw_resource or make gcs asking 4.8-2015q1 version to be installed.

Any tip to lock gcc version or to update the build_sdk_install ?
Merci / Thank you

Please tell us more. Which version of LibrePilot are you using (master, next) ?

What exact errors are you getting ?

Did you start from scratch or from an older checkout ?

Hi filnet,

I followed the wiki instructions here: https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Linux+-+Building+and+Packaging).
Checkout was done 4 days ago with git checkout next.

when I launch make build_sdk_install it loads and installs gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2015q1-20150306-linux.tar.bz2
but make fw_ressourse or make gcs tells gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_8-2014q3-20140805-linux.tar.bz2 is expected.

Any idea ?

I haven't built next in a while, but it would be easy to modify the makefiles.  Just change it to the later version string.

Regarding missing GCC or bad version. I had similar issue it was libc6-i386 missing so my system couldn't see installed binary which is i386 one.

[filnet]

Did you try to build master before building next ?
Try to fully remove the build directory.

If the problem persists please provide the exact error message you get.

[filnet]

Yes, the error is related to gcc arm which is needed to build the firmware.
It is very strange that one version gets installed and another version is later requested.
That's why seeing the exact error message that is produced will help...

The file where we specify which version is needed is : ./make/tools_install/gcc-arm-none-eabi.sh and there is no other place (afaik) where we specify a gcc arm version.

PS : there is a check for the presence of ARM GCC in ./make/tools.mk
The error message is wrong... Please ignore the 4.8 in the error message...
Now you need to find why gcc arm is not detected... Mateusz's message might help.

Yes, the error is related to gcc arm which is needed to build the firmware.

The version installed is i386 binary. On RaspberryPi this cannot be executed as it is another architecture. Scripts can't detect installed version and complain or check default one.
The only way to build firmware on RPi is installing(if exists) or building gcc-arm-none-eabi for armhf. The none-eabi is the gcc used to build for bare-metal (micro-controllers) and package must be armhf to be executable on RaspberryPi architecture (armhf). So in other words it downloads gcc-arm-none-eabi which can be executed on i386 and it needs gcc-arm-none-eabi which can be executed on armhf.

But he can skip building firmware and just try building (and resolving issues) with GCS alone

Code: [Select]

make gcs


[filnet]

Yep, I confirm that "make gcs" will not complain about a missing arm gcc.

Thank you guys,

I am trying again, from scratch: new sd-card, a clean raspbian and my Pi2.
I will let you know if something failed or if everything passed with lot more details.

As Laurent mentionned, OpenGL is not supported on Raspberry  PI.

Your best bet, at this stage, is to disable compilation of problematic libs and plugins.

Edit the file ./ground/gcs/src/libs/libs.pro and remove opmapcontrol.

Rebuild and repeat with the next failed module...

You'll have to edit ./ground/gcs/src/plugins/plugins.pro too.

Please note the various errors you get (in particular if they are not OpenGL related).

This is the right answer. I have solved my firmware compiling problem of the same error message by searching for libc6 and install package libc6-dev-armel-armhf-cross , as attached screenshot.

This looks promising to get PI run GCS

Anyone working on it?
