Discuss here different C compiler set ups, and compiling executables for the ESP8266

#56214 BTW, this is what I get when I set the same PATH and run the exact same command in a Cygwin terminal. So the actual toolchain is working ok, it's just the Windows/Eclipse specific instantiation of the commands that are failing.

***UPDATE***
So I ran the exact same test in a Windows CMD window and got the same errors as in the Eclipse environment, so it's definitely a Windows related issue.

#56263 OK so it looks like I may have found something relevant...

Looks like Windows has issues with the access() function when GCC tries to build a path to the relocatable executables. Under Linux and Unix based systems they have execute access testing but not in Windows, and so it barfs when GCC checks the path for execute access, and instead returns nothing, hence the path falls of the front of cc1.exe.

Need to dig a bit more....

#56271 ALMOST THERE!!!

So after digging around quite a bit I found out that indeed there is a bug in gcc 4.8.5 where it doesn't correctly return execute permission status on paths, and this in turn causes the prefixed path to go missing on cc1.exe, so I bumped gcc to version 5.2.0

Unfortunately esp-open-sdk has gcc4.8.5 hardwired in to some extent and you can't select a different version simply by adding it to crosstool-config-overrides, so you have to manually edit /esp-open-sdk/crosstool-NG/samples/xtensa-lx106-elf/crosstool.config, which is a bit nasty - we should be able to override this stuff locally using the override file.

Anyway I changed CT_CC_GCC_V_4_8_5=y to CT_CC_GCC_V_5_2_0=y and built the world. Everything compiled ok, and when I added the new toolchain to my project, gcc ran perfectly and populated my default directories!!

Almost...

While the Makefile based builds are fine, the default include directories all start with /cygdrive/d/... and can't be resolved, which messes up the editor, code completion, and syntax checking. The gdb settings have a mapping section that you can use to resolve /cygdrive/c/ to C:/ and /cygdrive/d/ to D:/ but it doesn't apply to the include directories.

But at least I have a working Makefile based build at this time

SDK name and URL are outside the crosstool-NG realm, but I can apply the cygwin64-specific patch.

davydnorris wrote:I don't suppose you know what the diffs between your current and open-esp-sdk are? Can I just update the submodule in open-esp-sdk to your HEAD?

My current crosstool-NG? I believe my xtensa-1.22.x branch is a couple of patches ahead of what open-esp-sdk refers to, but they are not significant. You should be able to update to the latest crosstool-NG in the open-esp-sdk and it should just work.

davydnorris wrote:I've submitted the Cygwin64 patch to the upstream crosstool-NG project too BTW

This is really good. It could be even better if you made a pull request, as the current crosstool-NG maintainer seems overloaded, so the easier it is to apply the higher is the chance to see it in the mainline.
