Compiling Issue

General Discussion
1

Basic Information:

Printer Model: Modified Ender 3
MCU / Printerboard: 4.2.7
Host / SBC
klippy.log

Fill out above information and in all cases attach your klippy.log file (use zip to compress it, if too big). Pasting your printer.cfg is not needed
Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there

Describe your issue:

I had a heap of updates to clear with klipper and the Pi, I managed to get all of those done, and when using Kiauh I see the following:

  1. Klipper │ v0.13.0-455
  2. Moonraker │ v0.9.3-130
  3. Mainsail │ v2.16.1
  4. Mainsail-Config │ v1.2.1-1
  5. Crowsnest │ v3.0.7-4

So all of those are up to date.

When I try to configure the Klipper Firmware for the MCU I use the following as per my Printer.cfg instructions:


Micro-controller Architecture (STMicroelectronics STM32)  —>
Processor model (STM32F103)  —>
Bootloader offset (28KiB bootloader)  —>
Communication interface (Serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9))  —>

When I have selected and confirmed those options it tries to compile and I receive the following error:

I’m struggling to find what is wrong, I’m sure it’s something simple, but I’m just going around in circles trying to find it.

Any ideas?

For whatever reason, it can’t generate compile_time_requrest file.
I can suggest to run make with --trace

make --trace

It should output exactly how it the commands is executed.
Or probably you can simply run:

python3 ./scripts/buildcommands.py -d out/klipper.dict -t "arm-none-eabi-gcc;arm-none-eabi-as;arm-none-eabi-ld;arm-none-eabi-objcopy;arm-none-eabi-objdump;arm-none-eabi-strip" out/compile_time_request.txt out/compile_time_request.c

Hope that helps.

ok, just tried your suggestions and still no go.

cc1: fatal error: out/compile_time_request.c: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:85: out/compile_time_request.o] Error 1

Alas, your output does not look like the output of any of the above commands.
You have to run them by hand inside the klipper directory. (No kiauh).

ok, I went to the klipper directory and tried again, this is the result:

So, this is the command that should generate this file.
You can add -v arg to it and attempt to generate it manually.
Probably it will output something useful.

python3 ./scripts/buildcommands.py -v -d out/klipper.dict -t “arm-none-eabi-gcc;arm-none-eabi-as;arm-none-eabi-ld;arm-none-eabi-objcopy;arm-none-eabi-objdump;arm-none-eabi-strip” out/compile_time_request.txt out/compile_time_request.c

ok thanks. will give it a go
