Ndless sdk build_toolchain error

[Rankail]

I'm trying to install the ndless-sdk using wsl (ubuntu) on windows 10.
I installed all of the dependencies named here: https://hackspire.org/index.php/C_and_assembly_development_introduction#On_Windows
I don't have a lot of experience with linux so i don't know if i installed them correctly.
When i ran the build_toolchain it looked normal at first but then it didn't work correctly (at least i think so). All the lines start with checking but many end with no. There are also two error lines.
1:

Code: Select all

/home/rankail/Ndless/ndless-sdk/toolchain/download/binutils-2.34/missing: 81: makeinfo: not found

2:

Code: Select all

./build_toolchain.sh: 88: make: not found

Here is everthing what the console shows (at least the last few lines):

Does someone know what i did wrong?

I think you're missing make and makeinfo.
Run the following command : sudo apt install build-essential texinfo

[Rankail]

Thanks for the quick reply. I can only test it tomorrow noon

No problem. And if you have any other questions, we are here for that

[Rankail]

You probably hear from me tomorrow ... Because of another problem. This is my second try on this. The first got farther but had some other problems ... Me not knowing wsl and corrupting it ...

Rankail,

I do not know if you finally succeeded in building the toolchain.
Anyhow, it may help others.

The methodology to be used for installing the Ndless SDK / Toolchain is the same for a conventional linux distribution (by instance Ubuntu) and for for a distribution running on WSL.

Assuming you have WSL properly installed and running with a proper Ubuntu install, you can follow the following tutorial for a fully automatized installation (I personally used that procedure once on a normal Linux installation and once with Ubuntu running on WSL (this is my current setup) ):

I made a tutorial on that topic just here viewtopic.php?f=20&t=24557#p258741, but I realize I wrote it in French, so maybe hard to follow for an english spoker.

So let me give you the main points, assuming your Ubuntu distribution is already running with an internet connection.
The background of my tutorial was an installation within a windows computer running Kubuntu through a virtual machine, but I guess it is very similar with Ubuntu.

the easy way is to first install the package python3-dev :

Code: Select all

sudo apt install python3-dev

then there is an automatic installer that you can find here : https://github.com/trueToastedCode/Ndle ... -installer consisting in a single python script that:
- downloads and installs all the missing packages
- downloads the SDK
- AND builds and installs the SDK properly.

I recommend putting the .py script directly in your home folder. It will create all the needed subfolders and installs in a clean way.

Just run it with

Code: Select all

sudo python ./NdlessSDK_AutoInstall.py

Hope it helps.

Sly

Thanks for the reply. Too bad i only saw it now. I've already ran the toolchain (it's been running for 2h because my laptop isn't fast xD). You're correct: I saw your post but didn't understand it correctly and thought it wouldn't work with wsl. If there are some errors i can't fix with the help of this forum i will definitely try it out.
