Error compiling firmware for photon

Troubleshooting
1

Hi All, I am working on some changes to utilize RTDs’ instead of the One Wire sensors and am running into issues while trying to compile the binary. I get the same error even on a clean clone of the develop branch both using make clean.

This is the error using bash:

/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token (' /usr/bin/sh: -c: line 0:C:/Program Files (x86)/GnuWin32/bin/make -e -C firmware/main APPDIR=C:/Users/Josh/brewpi/firmware '
make: *** [run_make] Error 1

Error using CMD:

You need to run:
make PLATFORM=photon in platform/spark

See: https://github.com/BrewPi/firmware

You also need to have git installed and on the path.

I didn’t have git on path correctly, fixed it. Still getting errors though, and I am using PLATFORM=photon in the spark directory.

Error using windows CMD:

Which version of make do you have?
I compile on both windows and linux without issues.
I assume you did install the embedded ARM toolchain?
https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded

If we can assume the ARM toolchain is the same, it must be make that is the problem.

Yeah, I do have the toolchain installed. I will uninstall everything and start over clean to see what happens.
