No rule to make target error with Raspberry Pi toolchain

[Serjaru]

Very strange behavior. When we create a project and run it in debug mode for the first time, everything is fine, it starts, but the second time already gives an error:

Run "C:\SysGCC\raspberry64\bin\make.exe CONFIG=Debug" in directory "C:\VS\BSH\LinuxProject1" on local computer
C:\SysGCC\raspberry64\bin\make.exe CONFIG=Debug
make: *** No rule to make target c\:\sysgcc\raspberry64\aarch64-linux-gnu\sysroot\usr\include/stdc-predef.h', needed byDebug/LinuxProject1.o'. Stop.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Command exited with code 2
Executable: C:\SysGCC\raspberry64\bin\make.exe
Arguments: CONFIG=Debug
Directory: C:\VS\BSH\LinuxProject1
Command-line action failed

========== Project Build Summary ==========
LinuxProject1 built in 00:01
========== Build: 0 Succeeded, 1 Failed, 0 Skipped ==========

 

If you do clean, it will start again once in debug mode and then not anymore!

Hi,

This is a known issue between GCC and GNU Make. Some GCC variants produce the dependency files with “c\:\xxx\yyy” path syntax that breaks GNU Make when it tries to recompute dependencies (hence it only happens on the second build).

The workaround is very easy – simply use CMake with Ninja or MSBuild instead, and it will work just fine.
