[SOLVED] Make Error 127 when running trying to compile code

Issue

This semester I got this new subject where we get to work with Discovery STM32 F4, and we are still in the phase of setting it up. But I have this problem in the beginning.

When I try to compile this "blink" code I get this error:

So, as I got it so far, we are using this shortcut command "make" to compile code, and we were given instruction to set it up as it's shown in images below:

Can anyone see what's the problem here?

Solution

Error 127 means one of two things:

1. file not found: the path you're using is incorrect. double check that the program is actually in your $PATH, or in this case, the relative path is correct -- remember that the current working directory for a random terminal might not be the same for the IDE you're using. it might be better to just use an absolute path instead.
2. ldso is not found: you're using a pre-compiled binary and it wants an interpreter that isn't on your system. maybe you're using an x86_64 (64-bit) distro, but the prebuilt is for x86 (32-bit). you can determine whether this is the answer by opening a terminal and attempting to execute it directly. or by running file -L on /bin/sh (to get your default/native format) and on the compiler itself (to see what format it is).

if the problem is (2), then you can solve it in a few diff ways:

1. get a better binary. talk to the vendor that gave you the toolchain and ask them for one that doesn't suck.
2. see if your distro can install the multilib set of files. most x86_64 64-bit distros allow you to install x86 32-bit libraries in parallel.
3. build your own cross-compiler using something like crosstool-ng.
4. you could switch between an x86_64 & x86 install, but that seems a bit drastic ;).
