Hello, we usually do not reccomend to anyone to build the toolchain. In case you just need to build OTP for GRiSP, with some custom C sources, we recommend to use one of our prebuilt toolchains, you can check the wiki here: https://github.com/grisp/grisp/wiki/Building-the-VM-from-source#pre-built-toolchains

The only case in which you need to do what you are doing is if you plan to extend the toolchain with more software. For example you might need it in case you want to include a specific C library in you projects. If this is the case, me and my team would be interested to know what you are working on :)

The error is in a python script, so I would check which python version you are running.

Thanks Ziopio, I'll take a look at the prebuilt, I'm just trying to get my grisp2 board updated to erlang 27 and elixir after laying in a draw for a couple of years ;)

python = 2.7.18
python3 = 3.11.9

Thanks

Unfortunatly our mix_grisp plugin is very limited, you can only use it to deploy using a prebuilt OTP which is automatically downloaded. That said 99% of the functionality needed to build OTP is implemented in grisp_tools. To make it available in Mix is just a matter of getting options from a mix project and feed it to grisp_tools.

This translates in adding a mix task i.e.: mix grisp.build which takes your project grisp config and toolchain location and builds OTP with your C code. Currently we only support this in our rebar3_grisp plugin for rebar3 with the command rebar3 grisp build

In case you or anyone would like to contribute on the https://github.com/grisp/mix_grisp plugin we are happy to give support and guidance. PRs are always welcome :)
