Can't compile 3.5.0 (Duet2)

dc42

@OwenD for historical reasons, some build configurations use crc32appender and some use the more recent program CrcAppender. The Duet 2 configuration uses CrcAppender. You can find this tool at https://github.com/Duet3D/CrcAppender/releases/tag/v1.2.0.

PS - I have also added CrcAppender to the Tools folder of RepRapFirmware.

@dc42 Thanks for stepping in. I would have looked for a while longer for a solution....

@dc42
Thanks for that.
I have downloaded that.
However it now says it can't find CrcAppender.dll?

Edit:
Strangely I can build for Duet2_SBC and Duet 3 Mini 5 ??

@OwenD that's odd! It has worked for me for several months. It should work provided that you have CrcAppender.exe on your Path. Try entering command CrcAppender on a command line, to see if it is found.

In the Post Build Step within Project Properties/Settings you could try replacing crcappender by CrcAppender in case that part of Eclipse is case-sensitive on your machine; or replace it by CrcAppender.exe; or you could replace it by crc32appender which is what the other configurations you mentioned used.

Well if you want something broken, I'm your man!

It's found no problem, but if I try to execute it, I get the same thing about crcappender.dll as if the .exe file is trying to call functions within a .dll ??

None of the above work

or you could replace it by crc32appender which is what the other configurations you mentioned used.

This does work.
I can compile if I change the post build settings to use Crc32Appender.exe

Given my needs are purely self education, that will be fine.
Thanks for your help

@OwenD I tried and get the same strange message:

C:\Users\joerg>path %path%;c:_

C:\Users\joerg>where crcappender
c:_\CrcAppender.exe

C:\Users\joerg>crcappender
The application to execute does not exist: 'c:_\CrcAppender.dll'.

C:\Users\joerg>

I've never seen this before...

Maybe the .NET 6 library is missing (no change after installing). But the message is very confusing.

@JoergS5 there is now a new build of CrcAppender.exe at https://github.com/Duet3D/CrcAppender/releases/tag/v1.2.0. Can you try that one? I have just tested it.

That one works for me

@OwenD thanks, I'll update the one in the Tools folder of RRF.

@dc42 thank you! (confirmed: works for me too now)
