| ******************************************
 | |
| Setup Linux Toolchain from Scratch
 | |
| ******************************************
 | |
| 
 | |
| :link_to_translation:`zh_CN:[中文]`
 | |
| 
 | |
| The following instructions are alternative to downloading binary toolchain from Espressif website. To quickly setup the binary toolchain, instead of compiling it yourself, backup and proceed to section :doc:`linux-setup`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note:: The reason you might need to build your own toolchain is to solve the Y2K38 problem (time_t expand to 64 bits instead of 32 bits).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Install Prerequisites
 | |
| =====================
 | |
| 
 | |
| To compile with ESP-IDF you need to get the following packages:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - CentOS 7::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     sudo yum -y update && sudo yum install git wget ncurses-devel flex bison gperf python3 python3-pip cmake ninja-build ccache dfu-util libusbx
 | |
| 
 | |
| CentOS 7 is still supported but CentOS version 8 is recommended for a better user experience.
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Ubuntu and Debian::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     sudo apt-get install git wget libncurses-dev flex bison gperf python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-serial python3-cryptography python3-future python3-pyparsing python3-pyelftools cmake ninja-build ccache libffi-dev libssl-dev dfu-util libusb-1.0-0
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Arch::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     sudo pacman -Sy --needed gcc git make ncurses flex bison gperf python-pyserial python-cryptography python-future python-pyparsing python-pyelftools cmake ninja ccache dfu-util libusb
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note::
 | |
|     CMake version 3.5 or newer is required for use with ESP-IDF. Older Linux distributions may require updating, enabling of a "backports" repository, or installing of a "cmake3" package rather than "cmake".
 | |
| 
 | |
| Compile the Toolchain from Source
 | |
| =================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Install dependencies:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - CentOS 7::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         sudo yum install gawk gperf grep gettext ncurses-devel python3 python3-devel automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool make
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Ubuntu pre-16.04::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         sudo apt-get install gawk gperf grep gettext libncurses-dev python python-dev automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool make
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Ubuntu 16.04 or newer::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         sudo apt-get install gawk gperf grep gettext python python-dev automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool libtool-bin make
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Debian 9::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         sudo apt-get install gawk gperf grep gettext libncurses-dev python python-dev automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool libtool-bin make
 | |
| 
 | |
|   - Arch::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         sudo pacman -Sy --needed python-pip
 | |
| 
 | |
| Create the working directory and go into it::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   mkdir -p ~/esp
 | |
|   cd ~/esp
 | |
| 
 | |
| Download ``crosstool-NG`` and build it:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. include-build-file:: inc/scratch-build-code.inc
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note:: To create a toolchain with support for 64-bit time_t, you need to remove the ``--enable-newlib-long-time_t`` option from the ``crosstool-NG/samples/xtensa-esp32-elf/crosstool.config`` file in 33 and 43 lines.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build the toolchain::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     ./ct-ng {IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}
 | |
|     ./ct-ng build
 | |
|     chmod -R u+w builds/{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}
 | |
| 
 | |
| Toolchain will be built in ``~/esp/crosstool-NG/builds/{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Add Toolchain to PATH
 | |
| =====================
 | |
| 
 | |
| The custom toolchain needs to be copied to a binary directory and added to the ``PATH``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Choose a directory, for example ``~/esp/{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}/``, and copy the build output to this directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To use it, you will need to update your ``PATH`` environment variable in ``~/.profile`` file. To make ``{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}`` available for all terminal sessions, add the following line to your ``~/.profile`` file::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     export PATH="$HOME/esp/{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}/bin:$PATH"
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     If you have ``/bin/bash`` set as login shell, and both ``.bash_profile`` and ``.profile`` exist, then update ``.bash_profile`` instead. In CentOS, ``alias`` should set in ``.bashrc``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Log off and log in back to make the ``.profile`` changes effective. Run the following command to verify if ``PATH`` is correctly set::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     printenv PATH
 | |
| 
 | |
| You are looking for similar result containing toolchain's path at the beginning of displayed string::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ printenv PATH
 | |
|     /home/user-name/esp/{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}/bin:/home/user-name/bin:/home/user-name/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
 | |
| 
 | |
| Instead of ``/home/user-name`` there should be a home path specific to your installation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Python 2 deprecation
 | |
| ====================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Python 2 reached its `end of life <https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/>`_ and support for it in ESP-IDF will be removed soon. Please install Python 3.6 or higher. Instructions for popular Linux distributions are listed above.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Next Steps
 | |
| ==========
 | |
| 
 | |
| To carry on with development environment setup, proceed to :ref:`get-started-get-esp-idf`.
