STM8S103F3 Breakout Board

Tested: standard example Blink.ino
In the Arduino IDE the build finished without errors.

In Sloeber the build failed:

It seems the main difference is that the Sloeber runs bin/sdar with relative paths (and so the error is wrong key — «.»), and the Arduino IDE uses absolute paths.

I see that the sloeber build has way more HardwareSerial.c files than the arduino IDE builds.
Are you sure your setup is ok?

[pbtsrc]

I compared files in
/opt/eclipse/arduinoPlugin/packages/sduino/hardware/stm8/0.5/
and
/home/user/.arduino15/packages/sduino/hardware/stm8/0.5.0/
The directories are identical

[jantje]

I see that I excluded this package from testing with the comment "uses busybox so command line issues I think"

arduino-eclipse-plugin/io.sloeber.tests/src/io/sloeber/core/CreateAndCompileDefaultInoOnAllBoardsTest.java

Line 70 in 75737d2

// uses busybox so command line issues I think

The package is removed for all oses which probably means the boards failed a test on windows and linux.

To get this to work there is a need for someone who knows the toolchain and can explain what causes errors (like: /sduino/tools/sdcc/build.11242/bin/sdar: wrong key — «.») and how to fix the command lines.

Note that in regards of build process the behaviour between Sloeber and Arduino IDE are different in regards to the archiver. Arduino IDE builds the archive "one by one" and Sloeber builds it in one go.
There have been issues due to this different behaviour.

Also note that my original thought was :""this is the windows command line to long issue" but as you seem to be on linux ...

Also note that I turned off the nightly because of disruptive changes so anyone involved in this fix (at this moment in time) should be willing to work from sloeber source code.

[pbtsrc]

Tested on Sloeber-4.4. The issue is still there, unfortunately. The build log is the same too

[jantje]

I'll try this on linux.
If you havn't heard of me in a week, remind me.

[jantje]

I tried this on Linux and I get the same result.
When I run the command from the Terminal I get a very similar error
I tried to simplify the command and make it all full path commands but still a similar error

I can't help any further as this is a cryptic error from a tool called by a wrapper.
If you want to progress this issue you will have to contact someone with more knowledge of the tools used for this board.
