  • what are you trying to achieve

Analyse a simple compilation using AtmelStudio arm toolchain on windows.
Build is fine, but build-wrapper is not detecting any compilation unit.
In fact, it seems it is misleaded by CMake somehow using 8dot3 short path for compiler, as it is installed into a folder with spaces:

image path name: <C:\PROGRA~2\Atmel\Studio\7.0\TOOLCH~1\arm\ARM-GN~1\bin\AR19DD~1.EXE>

Which does not match with the build-wrapper-dump.json content:

“compiler”:“clang”,
“executable”:“C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Studio\7.0\toolchain\arm\arm-gnu-toolchain\bin\arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe”,

  • Workaround being investigated

Install toolchain into a path without space

  • Possible fix

When matching compiler invocation, on Windows, try both full and 8dot3 filename

Just confirming that installing the tool into a folder without space is making the trick :ok_hand:

Hi @scm_invn,

does it mean that you are not facing any other issue?

Hi
yes we were able to solve the issue by using an installation path without spaces.
Anyway, implementing Windows 8dot3 filename support in the build-wrapper could be valuable to get rid of this limitation :wink:

Hi @scm_invn,

thank you for the update, glad you fixed your problem.
