I got an error when compiling, and I won't solve it, because I'm a newbie, please someone to help me solve it, thank you






These are my code environments, and I don’t know where the error is, here is the error message below

The number 3221225781 is 0xc0000135 which is the error code for STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND. This usually means that a DLL that an EXE needs is not found.

But this is weird. When it fails in the “Archiving” step, that’s done with sdar and sdranlib

sdar rc .pio\build\STC89C52RC\libf32\libtools.lib .pio\build\STC89C52RC\libf32\tools\tools.rel
sdranlib .pio\build\STC89C52RC\libf32\libtools.lib

And these executables don’t have any DLL dependencies exact for the regular Windows ones.

Dump of file C:\Users\Max\.platformio\packages\toolchain-sdcc\bin\sdranlib.exe

File Type: EXECUTABLE IMAGE

  Image has the following dependencies:

    KERNEL32.dll
    msvcrt.dll
    USER32.dll

Can you upload the project as a whole to Github so that I can reproduce the problem?

very simple a few files, because just started learning :joy:

Can you please add this to your repository under the path

.github/workflows/build.yml

with

name: PlatformIO CI

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: windows-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/cache@v4
        with:
          path: |
            ~/.cache/pip
            ~/.platformio/.cache
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-pio
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: '3.11'
      - name: Install PlatformIO Core
        run: pip install --upgrade platformio

      - name: Build PlatformIO Project
        run: cd c51_project && pio run

This uses Github Actions to create a Windows machine to try to compile the project. If that succeeds, there is something wrong with your specific machine. If not, it’s a general bug.

You can then check the results in the “Actions” tab in the Github repository.

See https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/integration/ci/github-actions.html.

Sorry, since you created a non-standard folder structure with the PlatformIO project being actually inside the c51_project folder instead of the root, there is an additional cd c51_project needed. I have updated the text above, please update.


This error still occurred with the same error message as my local code

Can you use this build.yml file instead, it will try both Ubuntu (Linux) and Windows.

name: PlatformIO CI

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/cache@v4
        with:
          path: |
            ~/.cache/pip
            ~/.platformio/.cache
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-pio
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: '3.11'
      - name: Install PlatformIO Core
        run: pip install --upgrade platformio

      - name: Run PlatformIO
        run: cd c51_project && pio run



The ubuntu build succeeded, but the windows build still failed,Do I need to use a virtual environment to build my project now?

@maxgerhardt Are you there, very sorry to bother you, can this problem only be solved with a virtual environment?

Note that Ubuntu uses SDCC toolchain 4.1.0 while Windows uses 4.4.0

You can try adding into the platformio.ini:

; force toolchain 4.1.0
platform_packages =
   toolchain-sdcc@~1.40100.0

and build again on Windows. (see available versions).

If that doesn’t solve it, please file an issue into GitHub · Where software is built, linking them your test repository. They can do further tests and toolchain updates.


Successfully compiled, thank you for your help
