Build errors xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-std=c17' #224

TD-er · 2020-07-23T12:29:00Z

Latest code base of esp8266/Arduino cannot be built anymore.
Apparently we're using the wrong compiler.

What can be done to be able to compile the latest "master" branch of esp8266/Arduino?

ref. esp8266/Arduino#6294 (comment)
just add another package line with toolchain-xtensa @ $URL, where $URL is from here https://github.com/earlephilhower/esp-quick-toolchain/releases/tag/3.0.0-gnu12

Current installation instructions expect Arduino IDE:
https://arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html#using-git-version
By manually running tools/get.py, which downloads latest toolchain+utils based on .json package lists maintained by the Core authors. But, not sure how to get that information into the platformio.ini automatically when using git version

TD-er · 2020-07-24T19:08:49Z

OK, I got 1 step further, but apparently it is not enough.

In my platformio.ini:

[core_stage]
extends                   = esp82xx_2_6_x
platform                  = https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif8266.git
build_flags               = ${esp82xx_2_6_x.build_flags}
                            -DPIO_FRAMEWORK_ARDUINO_ESPRESSIF_SDK22x_191122
                            -Wno-deprecated-declarations
platform_packages         =
  framework-arduinoespressif8266 @ https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.git
  toolchain-xtensa @ https://github.com/earlephilhower/esp-quick-toolchain.git#3.0.0-gnu12

So it does install something...

You need to use the OS-specific .zip / tarball from releases, see my link:
https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna/blob/ea111c4cf2229502c19fc739737527670c20ec1e/code/platformio.ini#L124

toolchain-xtensa @ https://github.com/earlephilhower/esp-quick-toolchain/releases/download/3.0.0-gnu12/x86_64-linux-gnu.xtensa-lx106-elf-0474ae9.200706.tar.gz

TD-er · 2020-07-24T21:13:16Z

But that's not usable.
I cannot make a .ini file for every OS we need to build on, let alone for every platform my users are building on.

mcspr · 2020-07-24T21:40:41Z

Like I said, list of toolchains is provided in the platform (platform = espressif8266). For example, this was done for Tasmota:
https://github.com/Jason2866/platform-espressif8266/tree/new_gcc
https://github.com/Jason2866/platform-espressif8266/blob/new_gcc/platform.json
https://github.com/Jason2866/platform-espressif8266/releases/download/3.0.0-gnu12/manifest.json
Modification consists of updated platform.json that includes a custom 'manifest.json' with a gcc10.1 os<->url list and use a different (>=5) toolchain version.

This list is in the Core repo, but it is for the Arduino IDE package:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/83fc47f6d97d6a82acb6cf2c856381bcd101f0c0/package/package_esp8266com_index.template.json#L201-L255

platform_packages = ... simply overrides the package from the platform.json by name, but I am not sure if it is modifiable via scripting.
https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/blob/85f5a6a84a6680733ab2baeb9eeb8f08be110f49/platformio/managers/platform.py#L713
https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/blob/85f5a6a84a6680733ab2baeb9eeb8f08be110f49/platformio/managers/platform.py#L637-L645

What I was suggesting is to find a solution of integrating it with PIO (...moving manifest & platform to the esp8266/Arduino repo?), avoiding such weird configuration where you end up the maintainer of the package list.

TD-er · 2020-07-24T22:30:45Z

Well at least I now have it up and running on my Windows environment.
So I'm already working on the build issues when compiling with gcc10.1
I really hope the PlatformIO developers can help out here to what could be done to make it fool-proof (... said by the fool)

mcspr · 2020-07-26T20:15:10Z

True, but hopefully this is something temporary.
afaik, what I proposed above with config scripting would not work, b/c when esp8266 Core's tools/platformio-build.py is called, package was already downloaded. Same with extra scripts, because those are loaded too late, too.

I wonder if platformio could try to read a specific file inside of the selected "framework" package, which will list the additional package files; i.e., adding itself to the in platform.json's "packageRepositories" list. Or, add platform_repositories = ... URLs in addition to the existing platform_packages = ..., so we could add those directly via platformio.ini
Then, .ini would only need to specify the version number and OS will be chosen automatically.

But, this becomes an issue for the https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/issues

valeros · 2020-07-31T10:31:20Z

Hi guys, I've just uploaded GCC v10.1.0 to our CDN, so you should be able to override the default toolchain in your platformio.ini:

[env:nodemcuv2]
platform = espressif8266
framework = arduino
board = nodemcuv2
monitor_speed = 115200
platform_packages = 
    toolchain-xtensa @ ~2.100100.0

Please let me know if it works, thanks!

TD-er · 2020-07-31T12:12:20Z

Apart from the build issues with GCC10.1 I still need to fix, it both installs on Windows 10 (64 bit) and the Ubuntu20.04 I run on Linux for Windows subsystem.
So the toolchain issue seems to work.

valeros · 2020-07-31T12:38:54Z

Is there anything else I can help you with?

TD-er · 2020-07-31T12:43:53Z

Not right now, so unless someone else finds an environment where the toolchain cannot be installed, I would say this issue can be closed.

mcspr · 2020-07-31T12:53:02Z

When upstream changes to a newer version (e.g. 10.2) while still in development, will it somehow be tracked and uploaded to the PIO registry? By watching https://github.com/earlephilhower/esp-quick-toolchain/releases automatically or otherwise.

btw any thoughts on the platform_repositories = ... override?

valeros · 2020-07-31T12:59:51Z

Hi @mcspr

When upstream changes to a newer version (e.g. 10.2) while still in development, will it somehow be tracked and uploaded to the PIO registry?

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to achieve that. Only stable/critical updates are uploaded to PlatformIO CDN.

btw any thoughts on the platform_repositories = ... override?

It might be a good idea to open a feature request in the platformio-core repository.

Jason2866 · 2020-07-31T19:19:41Z

@mcspr since earlephilhower added a package.json you can easily build your own.
I have done (before this) for using gcc10.1 build chain with platformio for Tasmota
See https://github.com/Jason2866/platform-espressif8266/releases/tag/3.0.0-gnu12
The corresponding entry in platformio

[core_stage]
; *** Esp8266 core version. Tasmota stage or Arduino stage version. Built with GCC 10.1 toolchain
platform                  = https://github.com/Jason2866/platform-espressif8266/releases/download/2.9.0/platform-espressif8266-2.9.0.tar.gz
platform_packages         = ;framework-arduinoespressif8266 @ https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.git
build_unflags             = ${esp_defaults.build_unflags}
                            -Wswitch-unreachable
build_flags               = ${esp82xx_defaults.build_flags}
                            -Wno-switch-unreachable

mcspr · 2020-08-01T06:25:38Z

@Jason2866 Yes, I had noticed that! My only issue is besides the manifest, we also drag python code included in the platform when we fork it. The idea here is to allow to override the manifest.json through .ini directly, while still using the original platform = espressif8266

Meaning, something like:

[env:test]
platform = espressif8266
framework = arduino
board = d1_mini
platform_repositories =
    my_own_manifest_with_toolchain_xtensa.json ; e.g. esp8266/Arduino CI could ship / convert existing ArduinoIDE files without much hassle
platform_packages = 
    framework-arduinoespressif8266 @ https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.git
    toolchain-xtensa @ ~2.100200.0 ; future 10.2

edit: also see platformio/platformio-core#3612

Jason2866 · 2020-08-01T16:29:33Z

@mcspr yes, that would be a nice feature.

After updating similar to xoseperez/espurna@8510f77 in my project i am getting many errors including declaration of byte.

/home/arihant/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoespressif8266/cores/esp8266/Arduino.h:241:27: error: reference to 'byte' is ambiguous
  241 | uint16_t makeWord(byte h, byte l);

AES/printf.h:31:3: error: 'fdevopen' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'fmemopen'?

NtpClientLib/src/NtpClientLib.h:427:44: error: 'byte' has not been declared

AND, It is happening only when i am using platfomio, with Arduino It is compiling without any problem.
My configuration looks like this -

[env:test]
platform = espressif8266
platform_packages = 
        framework-arduinoespressif8266 @ https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.git#2843a5a
        toolchain-xtensa @ ~2.100100.200706

framework = arduino
board = nodemcuv2
upload_speed = 115200

The Arduino core is art git version 2.7.4

mcspr · 2020-09-09T12:15:32Z

@arihantdaga as a random guess - do you have using namespace std; somewhere in libs / project? (before Arduino.h include, for example)
This will inadvertently make std::byte into byte, which will conflict with the thing in the Arduino.h (see typedef uint8_t byte; above makeWord())
