Stage 1. Complete=easy.
Stage 2. Complete=easy.
Stage 3. Complete=easy.

Stage 4. Incomplete= ->| Hit the wall ;(
What are we talking in Stage 4. ???
It says "Modify your PATH environment variable to include the 'bin' folder of the GNU ARM Eclipse installation." Where we are setting path this in 'ECLIPSE' OR 'WINDOWS 10' under advance system settings environmental variables?? K.I.S.S...

Stage 5. Incomplete=No idea- sounds like 'Linux'

Anyone can explain it, in K.I.S.S="keep it stupid simple"

Thanks

Hi,

They are talking about the Windows environment.

@fcwilt Hi and Stage 5 ???

fcwilt

Hi,

The link to the build instructions doesn't work for me.

Let me install it on my computer and see what needs to be done.

Hi,

OK I download and ran the E installer and it wants to know what kind of IDE I want to install.

There is one for Java, Java Enterprise, Javascript & Web, C/C++, etc.

Which are you wanting?

Step 5 "Run "which rm" and "which make" to make sure that rm and make will be fetched from that folder"

And step 5 whats all about ?

fcwilt

Hi,

Perhaps you are working with a different Eclipse?

Which IDE are you trying to install? I cannot try it at my end until I know.

Steps 1,2,3 are easy step 4 is setup path in windows OS “environmental variable”

Looking forward towards step 5 .

dc42 Step 5 in buildinstructions. what is all about?

@ViralTinker
Step 5 is to check if the commands rm and make are correctly found in the PATH, after adding the bin Folder from Step 4 into it.

which is definitely a UNIX/LInux command and won't work on Windows.
You can try to replace which with whereon Windows. This should work, but i cannot test it.

I feel much lighter know ,
How build instructions can be updated is it via pull requests??

So Step 5 almost can be skipped!?

mloidl

IMO this step is optional. It's just to verify the commands rm and make are available within the build process.
The build instructions can be changed by uploading a pull request, since it's just a file in the RepRapFirmware-Repository.

If you can verify where is working on Windows i can do that for you, or you ask @dc42 if he will do it within the next commit.

@mloidl
Just to double check , are you saying ‘where’ Command just need past in Command line?

mloidl

@ViralTinker
You have to type where rm in the command line after you modified your PATH.
To ensure the PATH is correct you can show it by typing echo %PATH% in the command line.

Maybe you have to restart the command line if you modified the PATH somewhere in your Windows Settings.

If you only type where in the command line you'll get a description how the command works (including some examples)

Ok thanks

PrintMake

Hi again everyone,..

Now step 7 is easy

Download this github project as a zip file and unzip it into C:/Eclipse/Firmware. Then rename folder ReprapFirmware-dev in that folder to RepRapFirmware.

After this it gets interesting

Is that mean you can use RepRapFirmware itself without CoreNG and DuetWiFiSocketServer and RTOS-enabled ???

oliof

No, you need to complete the following steps as well.

PrintMake

Can we continue ?, Shall we?!

What function CoreNG does?

dc42

CoreNG abstracts most of the hardware. Many years ago it started out as the Arduino Due core, but it's been almost completely rewritten over the years.
