Compilation problem

Hello, I’m trying to compile RIOT\examples\hello-world , but the following error occurs: Makefile.include:175: *** Neither unzip nor 7z is installed… Stop.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hello Amid!

I guess the error message is pretty clear on what to do here (: You have to install either the "unzip" tool or the "7z" tool on your machine. If you are an Ubuntu user, then you might be able to install "unzip" with the following command: $ sudo apt-get install unzip

Hello Cenk, The problem is that I’ve 7-zip installed. I’m working on Win10.

Hello again, Appeared that path to 7-zip was not set in system PATH. Which files should be unzipped during compilation?

Hi Amid,

Appeared that path to 7-zip was not set in system PATH. Which files should be unzipped during compilation?

That depends on the application (example or test) you want to build, for `examples/hello-world` it's (IIRC) actually not needed. However, the RIOT build system checks several general dependencies for each and every build, even though not all of them might be necessary to compile a certain RIOT application.

Best,   Sebastian
