Improvements

The GNU ARM Eclipse Build Tools v2.3 package includes the version 4.1 of GNU make (built from source files), and version 1.23 of BusyBox, which provides a convenient implementation for sh/rm/echo.

This version makes an explicit use of a POSIX shell, which improves the behaviour of make, by properly processing the POSIX paths generated by Eclipse, including names containing spaces.

For those interested in technical details, if make does not find a /bin/sh in the path, it falls back to using the Microsoft cmd.exe when launching sub-processes. As with other Windows implementations, compared to Unix shells, cmd.exe is severely restricted, also impacting the make correct behaviour.

Setup

For user convenience, an usual Windows setup wizard is provided.

Build Tools setup

After running the setup, the tools are installed in the C:\Program Files\GNU ARM Eclipse\Build Tools folder (for 32-bits machines), or in the C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU ARM Eclipse\Build Tools folder (for 64-bits machines).

Be sure you update the C/C++ → Build → Environment to refer to the actual path.

All executables are 32-bits applications, statically linked, so there should be no DLL problems when using them.

Uninstall

If needed, you can completely remove the package from your system by running the provided uninstall (build-tools-uninstall.exe).
