Docker Alpine Linux : arm-none-eabi-gcc not found

Development Platforms

Hello,

I’ve made an update on my docker Alpine, and my environment is not broken. Platformio is unable to find gcc for stm32 anymore.

GCC seems to be correctly installed as the command “docker container exec qapi_web_1 find / -name arm-none-eabi-gcc” returns “/root/.platformio/packages/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc”.

Here is the log of my pio run command :

docker container exec qapi_web_1 platformio run -d /project/NUCLEO-F072RB/

Do you have any ideas ?

When you open a shell in the docker container and execute that with --version, what do you get?

docker container exec qapi_web_1 ls -ll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 977368 Nov 30 2017 /root/.platformio/packages/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc

A version from Nov 30 2017. Strange…

docker container exec qapi_web_1 sh /root/.platformio/packages/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc -v
/root/.platformio/packages/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: line 1: ELF: not found
/root/.platformio/packages/toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: line 1: syntax error: unterminated quoted string

I wonder if GCC version is correct or not

Maybe this applies? c - Executable says "line 1: ELF: not found" when starts - Stack Overflow

What does PIO say about your system type?

docker container exec qapi_web_1 sh pio system info

(or pio may be in /root/.platformio/penv/bin/pio or something.)

Thank you, but the apply doesn’t help me.

docker container exec qapi_web_1 pio system info
(without the “sh”)

I had an old version of pio, so I made an upgrade. Arm-none-eabi-gcc generates the same error.

I think it’s more a docker configuration issue than a platformio issue. It was working a few days ago but I have regenerated my docker. I’m quite newbie to docker, so I’ve maybe forgotten to do an easy step :slight_smile:

Well, adter after a few hours reading many website, my problem is solved.

Alpine docker has a new release, so i had to :

1- Update Alpine public keys
2- Edit the Dockerfile and add these 3 libs : “apk add gcompat libc6-compat libstdc++”
