Question

How to setup my toolchain to solve the problem? I've seen the same problems and solution with updating gcc arm compiler but I would realy like to avoid that beacuse of some other requirement I need to meet.
Here's a content of my mbed_settings.py file:

from os.path import join, abspath, dirname

#ROOT = abspath(join(dirname(__file__), "."))

##############################################################################
# Build System Settings
##############################################################################
#BUILD_DIR = abspath(join(ROOT, "build"))

# ARM
#ARM_PATH = "C:/Program Files/ARM"

# GCC ARM
GCC_ARM_PATH = "/usr/bin/"

# GCC CodeRed
#GCC_CR_PATH = "C:/code_red/RedSuite_4.2.0_349/redsuite/Tools/bin"

# IAR
#IAR_PATH = "C:/Program Files (x86)/IAR Systems/Embedded Workbench 7.0/arm"

# Goanna static analyser. Please overload it in private_settings.py
#GOANNA_PATH = "c:/Program Files (x86)/RedLizards/Goanna Central 3.2.3/bin"

#BUILD_OPTIONS = []

# mbed.org username
#MBED_ORG_USER = ""

The issue is removed to ARMmbed/mbed-cli:
ARMmbed/mbed-cli#645

This is the correct location for this issue.

See #3725 (comment)

[theotherjimmy]

Also, Please don't use sudo with mbed compile. Was that a workaround for something?

Note: That commit must be old, it's from November of 2013. You may benefit from an upgrade of Mbed OS.

@JuricaResetar take a look an #3725 for complete advice on resolving this issue.

@theotherjimmy Thank you very much for your comment and replies.
I used sudo with mbed because otherwise mbed failed to install some required python modules.
The solution for my problem was to install arm-none-eabi-newlib package.
Thank you.
