@amal No ARM cross-compiler installed from my guess, confirmation?

3

i have ARMCompiler6.24 installed unless thats the wrong one

4

What OS are you running?

5

running windows 11

6

Strange, and you’re using ProxSpace provided by DT?

7

yeah. ive also tried to compile this on a fresh vm windows 11 machine and it throws the same error

8

I would guess the original runme.bat didn’t install or configure the correct compiler dependencies.

9

anyway to resart the installer? as runme64.bat just gives the pm3 prompt now

10

You could try a force-install, run this inside the ProxSpace shell window:

pacman -Syu git base-devel readline bzip2 lz4 arm-none-eabi-gcc arm-none-eabi-newlib --needed --noconfirm

11

ok that gives me

pm3 ~$ pacman -Syu git base-devel readline bzip2 lz4 arm-none-eabi-gcc arm-none-eabi-newlib --needed --noconfirm

Could be the MSYS2 prefixes… Try this:

pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-x86_64-arm-none-eabi-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-arm-none-eabi-newlib mingw-w64-x86_64-readline

13

sorry still not working

I’d personally say the ProxSpace build folder is likely corrupted if it’s not finding the packages, a clean setup is my recommendation. amal could have better insight as he works with the system more than I do.
