CC linking error when building esp32 hardware-check (rust)

Help
1

I am following this book to do an hardware-check on a esp32 like mentioned on this page in the book.

When running cargo run I get a really long error that basically starts with this

error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1

I have gcc installed. If I do which cc I get this

kronix@nixos:~/esp/std-training/intro/hardware-check/ > which cc
/run/current-system/sw/bin/cc

So I have gcc installed but cargo doesn’t find it?
What should I do to make it work?

Thanks in advance!

Please provide us the detailed setup how you do what you do and detailed error output of the commands you run. it seems you’re trying to link to some library which is not available in your “setup” which is hopefully a nix-shell.

After switching my setup to a nix-shell that looks like that

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
  pkgs.mkShell {
    # nativeBuildInputs is usually what you want -- tools you need to run
    nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs.buildPackages; [
    gcc
    espflash
    rustup
    rustc
    rustfmt
    cargo
    ];
}

I still get the same error.

Here is the full error https://pastebin.com/N9jKUikN

Is anyone able to help me?

Unfortunately not yet. The link you posted with the error details is dead (404). I’m not sure what this error is.

I quickly tried with mkShell { packages = with pkgs; [ espflash rustup python3 ]; };, followed by rustup default stable and failed. Unfortunately I do not know the book, and the required tooling (besides Rust).

Here the error I got: Error: Could not install esp-idf

I haven’t used it myself (I have tried to avoid the framework), but maybe GitHub - mirrexagon/nixpkgs-esp-dev: Nix flake and overlay for ESP8266 and ESP32 development. is what you need here?

Here is a shorten version of the error containing the important.

It still does not work :confused: … help please

are you setup to build multiple arch? you may building x86 instead of aarch. You may want to look at Cross compiling - crane for some inspiration.
