Build_unflags usage confusion

1

I am using latest Pio and have problems with final linking failing. I have reverted to Python 3.7.7 and it gets further, but not complete. In the error, I saw “lto” mentioned. I inserted build_unflags = -flto. Here is a snip of the final compile, and it looks like the flag was not removed.

Different project I take it? As I remember you saying that you’d gotten marlin working after the downgrade. Without seeing the platformio.ini complete, I can’t comment, as it could just be a typo, or something else has gone wrong. I’d find it strange if for instance it correctly removed the -flto flag on the Marlin project, but not on another. One thing to double check would be if your python version has sneakily updated itself (although really it shouldn’t - unless you are forcing PlatformIO to use a different version, it should be using it’s own bundled copy… what does python --version from a PIO terminal give you? Any different from a normal system terminal?)… then again… maybe I’m missing out on all the errors as it seems I’m still on Python 2.7 for my install! :laughing:

It is a different project. I can’t guarantee that the build flag worked on the other. I think it was the python change.

python --version Python 3.7.7

Platformio.ini snip
lib_archive = no
lib_compat_mode = strict
lib_ldf_mode = chain+
build_unflags = -flto

Did you end up resolving this?

We’d need to see your source files in order to resolve that.

Doesn’t affect final linker scripts, would need a advanced scripting addition.
