The GNU MCU Eclipse Build Tools v2.12 package includes the version 4.2.1 of GNU make (built from MSYS2 source files), and version 1.31.0-git of BusyBox, which provides a convenient implementation for sh/rm/echo/mkdir.

Changes

Both the make and BusyBox sources were upgraded to the latest available.

Known problems

• none so far

Binaries

Only binaries for Windows are provided.

They were built with mingw-w64, and run on any reasonably recent i686 and x86_64 Windows machines.

Instructions on how to install the binaries are available in the How to install the Windows Build Tools? page.

The build tools are also available as an xPack and can be conveniently installed with xpm:

$ xpm install --global @gnu-mcu-eclipse/windows-build-tools

This installs the latest available version.

For better control and repeatability, the build scripts use Docker containers; all files required during builds are available as a separate gnu-mcu-eclipse/windows-build-tools project.
