This has been raised in another topic a month ago.

Waiting for a fix you can copy mkdir.exe from mingw into SystemWorkbench\plugins\fr.ac6.mcu.externaltools.arm-none.win32_xxx\tools\make.

Attached my version.

Hi jLn_38
Thank you for your answer. I’m afraid, it seems not to be exactly the same issue as the topic raised 1 month ago.
However I tried putting the mkdir in the directory you mentionned, without correct result.

Working with Windows 7, I was puzzled by the error message:

/usr/make/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `(’

which made me think it reacts as if I was with Linux (opening a shell). I precise that the error occurs in the decision branch between windows or linux in my makefile.

After a lot of trials, I finally decided to remove (in fact to rename) the ‘sh.exe’ that exists in the directory C:\Ac6\SystemWorkbench\plugins\fr.ac6.mcu.externaltools.arm-none.win32_1.13.2.201705091103\tools\make

And now, it works!

But I still don’t understand why it worked with ac6 v1.8 and before, and no longer after...

Hi Bernard,

The reason it changed between 1.8 and no more in 1.14 or 2.0 was that, to avoid other problems, we included a bourne-compatible shell with make. So the fix proposed by jLn_38 is correct (include mkdir) but it’s not enough...

In fact you should adapt sligtly your makefile for it to work. There is two options there:

1. Adapt your test to use the shell built-in test feature:

   if [ ! -d build ]; then mkdir build; fi

2. Take advantage of the fact the mkdir is now a unix-like mkdir, which support the -p options, that allows you to just omit the test:

   mkdir -p build

Suppressing sh.exe from the plugin may fix your issue, but you will then have problems with, for example, projects generated by CubeMX; moreover, keeping the shell will allow you to use advanced makefile techniques.

In the future System Workbench for Linux may well require the shell to be able to compile correctly, so it’s probably better you correct your makefiles.

Hope this clarifies things,

Bernard (Ac6)

Very clear !
It works.
Thank you.

I’ve just created a new project and I’m having a lot of issues with it. When I tried to build it, a message appeared saying that ‘building is finished’.But lot of errors in console window. I figured out that binaries is missing under my file name in the project explorer. Please see the attachment showing the error message. I am building the default ‘void’ program available in the system workbench. Please reply.

I am using STM32 AC6 software system workbench & STM32F3 DISCOVERY Board. Please do the needful

Please reply then only i can start my research work. I am a new learner of this software.
