Setup Toolchain for Mac OS from Scratch

:link_to_translation:`zh_CN:[中文]`

Package Manager

To set up the toolchain from scratch, rather than :doc:`downloading a pre-compiled toolchain<macos-setup>`, you will need to install either the MacPorts or Homebrew package manager.

MacPorts needs a full XCode installation, while Homebrew only needs XCode command line tools.

See :ref:`Customized Setup of Toolchain <get-started-customized-setup>` section for some of the reasons why installing the toolchain from scratch may be necessary.

Install Prerequisites

  • install pip:

    sudo easy_install pip

  • install pyserial:

    pip install --user pyserial

  • install CMake & Ninja build:

    • If you have Homebrew, you can run:

      brew install cmake ninja dfu-util

    • If you have MacPorts, you can run:

      sudo port install cmake ninja dfu-util

Compile the Toolchain from Source

Install dependencies:

  • with MacPorts:

    sudo port install gsed gawk binutils gperf grep gettext wget libtool autoconf automake make

  • with Homebrew:

    brew install gnu-sed gawk binutils gperftools gettext wget help2man libtool autoconf automake make

Create a case-sensitive filesystem image:

hdiutil create ~/esp/crosstool.dmg -volname "ctng" -size 10g -fs "Case-sensitive HFS+"

Mount it:

hdiutil mount ~/esp/crosstool.dmg

Create a symlink to your work directory:

mkdir -p ~/esp
ln -s /Volumes/ctng ~/esp/ctng-volume

Go into the newly created directory:

cd ~/esp/ctng-volume

Download crosstool-NG and build it:

.. include-build-file:: inc/scratch-build-code.inc

Build the toolchain:

./ct-ng {IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}
./ct-ng build
chmod -R u+w builds/{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}

Toolchain will be built in ~/esp/ctng-volume/crosstool-NG/builds/{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}. To use it, you need to add ~/esp/ctng-volume/crosstool-NG/builds/{IDF_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX}/bin to PATH environment variable.

Next Steps
