When I build a project there's this window's error:
make[1]: [post-build] Error 1 (ignored) NXP_Oled line 0 C/C++ Problem

This is the console's message:

It looks like the comment character (#) is being ignored and the rest of the line is being treated as part of the arm-none-eabi-size command for some reason.

Please can you carry out the following actions:

[LIST]
[*]Select your project in the Project explorer view, then Use the Clean quickstart panel icon
[*]Open up a command prompt into your project using the status bar shortcut (as per http://support.code-red-tech.com/CodeRedWiki/StatusBar)
[*]cd into the Debug directory.
[*]Type "make > output.txt" and, after that completes, "path >> output.txt" and post the output.txt file created
[/LIST]

It looks like your invocation of "path" overwrote the output from "make". Please can you try again - noting the use of a single ">" in the first command and a double ">>" in the second command (to append the output rather than create a new file).

Also, I've just noticed in your path information...

PATH=C:\nxp\lpcxpresso_3.5\bin;C:\nxp\lpcxpresso_3 .5\msys\bin; .....

Can you confirm whether or not there really is a space in the second entry between the "3" and the ".", or whether this is a cut'n'paste issue from posting the text into the forum thread?

Hi,
I confirm that there isn't space in the second entry between "3" and "."
and I tried again the command prompt:
c:\project path\projectname>cd and then "enter"
c:\project path\projectname>make>output.txt and then "enter"
(there is in this line this message make: *** no target specified and no make file found. Stop.) I verified in the project and there's a empty output.txt file created
c:\project path\projectname>path>>output.txt and then "enter"
the path created is the same like before.

Thanks Danielle. Can you try two more commands for me inside the command prompt that you opened from the IDE....

make --version

and

sh
help

and send the output produced. (Note that [FONT=Courier New][SIZE=1]sh[/SIZE][/FONT] should give you a prompt similar to [FONT=Courier New][SIZE=1]"sh-2.04$"[/SIZE][/FONT], in which case you can quit back to the standard command prompt by entering "[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=1]exit[/SIZE][/FONT]").

We are still trying to understand your problem.

However, as a workaround, you can edit the Post Build steps and remove the first semi-colon (';') and everything after it.

Daniele,

Can you confirm if removing all of the text from the post-build step from the first semi-colon onwards allowed the post build step to successfully complete?

Also, we are assuming that the actual main build of your code was actually completing and creating the .axf file, even though the post build step was then failing (ie you can see the axf file on your hard drive). Can you confirm?

We would also like to understand whether this problem only affects a specific project, or if you see it with any project. To test, can you create a new C project using the Project wizard, and then build it. Do you get the same post-build error? If so, then can you try creating a new workspace, then create a new C project in the new workspace (preferably in the root of your hard drive, say "c:\testworkspace") - do you then still see the error?

With regards to the tests you have already run for us, these have unfortunately not shown up the cause of the problem you are seeing (which is not one we have seen previously). Certainly the correct version of make and the command shell (sh) used to carry out builds appear to be available, so should be being picked when you do a build.

Regards,
CodeRedSupport.

Hello,
I confirm:
1- removing all the post-build's line commands the error disappear
2- the .axf is created successfully
3- this problem is in all the projects who i try to create (included the nxp's project examples)
4- if i create a new project in the same workspace, the build get me the same post-build error (if i remove the line command the error disapper)
5- creating a new workspace under c:\ I have the same problem.

OK, so it basically always happens when the post-build step gets invoked from the IDE. It would be interesting to know if the same happens when the post-build command is invoked from the command line. Can you:

[LIST]
[*]Build a project with a post-build step such that you get the post-build step failure.
[*]Open up a command prompt into your project using the status bar shortcut
[*]Enter "cd Debug".
[*]Enter "sh" to start the msys shell.
[*]Now back in the IDE copy to the clipboard the command line that was invoked in post-build step. In your original post this was displayed in the build log as:
[/LIST]
[INDENT]

arm-none-eabi-size NXP_Oled.axf; # arm-none-eabi-objcopy  -O binary NXP_Oled.axf NXP_Oled.bin ; checksum -p LPC1114/301 -d  NXP_Oled.bin;

[/INDENT]
[LIST]
[*]Now paste this into at the "sh-2.04$" command prompt. To do this, right click on the title bar of the command prompt window and select "Edit->Paste" from the context sensitive window.
[/LIST]
Does the command run or do you get the same error as your saw in the IDE??

I tried and I attached a file word with the result of command prompt.
After this, when I returned back in the IDE and tried again the Build Command,
the error massage disappear.
Then, if a create a error in the main.c, Build the project, remove this error and Build again the "post build error" return, but i think it's norml. Is it?

When running the command within the shell, you need to run the command using the actual filenames, not the [FONT=Courier New][SIZE=1]$<BuildArtifactFileName>[/SIZE][/FONT] macros (which will get replaced by the IDE before it invokes the command).

In the screenshot you attached, it looks like you need:

arm-none-eabi-size pippo.axf; # arm-none-eabi-objcopy  -O binary pippo.axf pippo.bin ; checksum -p LPC1114/301 -d  pippo.bin;

Note that you can copy'n'paste text out of the command shell - there is no need to take a full screenshot

Just right click on the menu bar of the cmd window, and use the Edit->Mark and Edit->Copy options to get the text to the clipboard.

Sorry for my mistake.
Now in the prompt command there's this text below:
