I’m starting to test out grbl-LPC and wanted to compile my own version.
This is how I did it and is not necessarily the correct way. I used a new windows virtual machine so not to mess up my existing build environment. You can use Virtual box, Vmware, Windows Virtual PC etc.
Install GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain (I used the Windows 32bit .exe version)
Set your Windows PATH to include the git,make and ARM toolchain
This is what my PATH is set to…
PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin3
2\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\6 2017-q1-update\bin
Thank you for sharing this. I got as far as the “make” command but it came back with an “Error 2” cannot find the file specified (seems to be coolant_control.o) this was with both the master and the 4axis variant.
Any insight? Sorry I do not know enough on what other relevant details provide. below is as far as I got.
@Jonas_Concepcion You could also try to start a normal shell as administrator to execute “make”. On my system, it works with the normal shell but not with the git bash (did not try the power shell).
Thanks so much. I was able to get it work on a different pc. It’s possible that I needed to use the unsigned ARM toolchain vs the one for windows 7 and above.
final question. Is there still 2 versions of this one for 4 axes and one standard as Jim Fong notes in the original post which is the latest git to clone?
