It makes sense to use -disable-shared for building GMP, MPFR and MPC but not for GCC itself (and using the downloadprerequisites script means you don't need to build GMP, MPFR and MPC manually anyway). 2012-6-11  Compiling Your Code in OS X. In a two-level namespace environment, when you compile a new dynamic library, any references that the library might make to other dynamic libraries are resolved to a definition in those specific dynamic libraries. If you are building Mac apps, you should make application bundles.

This wiki is intended to provide various instructions on how to compile grbl. Once compiled, you should have a brand new .hex file to flash to your Arduino. Please feel free to contribute more up-to-date or alternative methods.

Thanks to the great people working on the Arduino IDE, it has everything you need to compile grbl included in their software package. This method compiles the Grbl source code and automatically uploads it to an Arduino. You can't directly flash a pre-compiled .hex file through the IDE interface. See our Flashing Grbl to an Arduino wiki page for how to do this if you only have a .hex file.

NOTE: Before starting, delete prior Grbl library installations from the Arduino IDE. Otherwise, you'll have compiling issues! On a Mac, Arduino libraries are located in ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/. On Windows, it's in My DocumentsArduinolibraries. On Linux (Ubuntu), it's in /usr/share/arduino/libraries

  1. Download the Grbl source code.
  • Click on the <>Code Tab
  • Click the button on the Grbl home page.
  • Click the Download ZIP
  • Unzip the download and you'll have a folder called grbl-XXX, where XXX is the release version.
  1. Launch the Arduino IDE
  • Make sure you are using the most recent version of the Arduino IDE!
  1. Load the grbl folder into the Arduino IDE as a Library.
  • Click the Sketch drop-down menu, navigate to Include Library and select Add .ZIP Library. The Add .ZIP Library command supports both a .ZIP file or a folder. In our case, there is no .ZIP file.
  • You can confirm that the library has been added. Click the Sketch drop-down menu again, navigate to Include Library, then scroll to the bottom of the list where you should see grbl.
  • IMPORTANT: Select the grbl folder inside the grbl-XXX folder, which only contains the source files and an example directory.
  • If you accidentally select the .zip file or the wrong folder, you will need to navigate to your Arduino library, delete the mistake, and re-do Step 3.
  1. Open the GrblUpload Arduino example.
  • Click the File down-down menu, navigate to Examples->Grbl, and select GrblUpload.
  • Do not alter this example in any way! Grbl does not use any Arduino code. Altering this example may cause the Arduino IDE to reference Arduino code and compiling will fail.
How
  1. Compile and upload Grbl to your Arduino.
  • Connect your Arduino Uno to your computer.
  • Make sure your board is set to the Arduino Uno in the Tool->Board menu and the serial port is selected correctly in Tool->Serial Port. (There are some controller boards on ebay that have the Arduino Pro bootloader on it, if you get error messages like 'avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt n of 10: not in sync: resp=0x20' then choose another board, try Arudino Pro/Pro Mini)
  • Click the Upload, and Grbl should compile and flash to your Arduino! (Flashing with a programmer also works by using the Upload Using Programmer menu command.)

NOTE: If your environment is clean and Arduino IDE compiler still throws 'warning: [...] redefined' messages, you may need to uncheck File -> Preferences -> 'Aggressively cache compiled core'.

Compiling GRBL or Advanced Users: Most users are just fine with Grbl's default build, but you can customize Grbl by editing the config.h file. It is extremely important to edit the files inside the Arduino library folder not the folder you imported the grbl from. config.h enables or disables all of Grbl's additional compile-time options. There are descriptions in the file that explains what they all do. Once edited and saved, just follow the steps above to flash your custom Grbl build!

No fuss! No muss!

NOTE: If you are having upload issues, try re-burning the Arduino bootloader. If you have a spare Arduino, it's easy!

For Mac OS X:

Last updated: 2012-01-29 by chamnit. (Tested on OS X 10.7, 10.6, 10.4 and the Arduino IDE r22,v1.0)

This method of compiling Grbl uses the Mac OSX terminal and command line to access the Arduino IDE's compilers without having to use the Arduino IDE. This produces the same firmware as the Arduino IDE method above.

First, you'll need to make sure you have the most up-to-date Arduino IDE version installed on your Mac. The trickiest part is setting up the environment path for the compilers included in the Arduino software. To do this, you'll need to first locate where they are. Depending on where you place your Arduino.app software, this will usually be located in /Applications/Arduino.app for most people. The complete path is then: /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/

To add the compiler path: Open the Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities.

Then type: nano ~/.bashrc to edit your shell config file.

Now add this line at the end of the file: export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/ or whatever your path happens to be.

Press Crtl-X to exit and select Yes to save the file. Now you have added the compiler path. You will need to close the current working window and re-open a new one for the path to be loaded correctly.

NOTE: If you are having problems, you may need to add this same PATH to your .bash_profile file. The process is exactly the same, just switch out the names.

To compile: Once your paths are setup, all you will need to do is go to your grbl directory and type make. (To clear all of the old compilation files from a previous build, type make clean first.) This should call avr-gcc, begin compiling grbl, and create a brand new firmware file called grbl.hex that may then be flashed to your Arduino.

You can use the Arduino platform as well since it comes with most of the stuff you need to compile Grbl through a command prompt interface.

  1. First download the Arduino IDE Windows installer from arduino.cc. Do not use the Windows App store version, as it hides these files.

  2. Open the Arduino IDE and navigate to the 'Board Manager' in the the 'Tools'/'Board: 'XXX' drop-down menu.

  3. In the 'Board Manager', install the 'Arduino SAM Boards' (for the Arduino Due). This particular library contains the 'make' executable that Grbl needs to compile via Makefile.

  4. Search in the Windows search bar for 'Environment Variables'. An option 'Edit the system environment variables' in the control panel should be the first option in the list. Select it.

  5. A 'System Properties' windows should appear. Click the 'Environment Variables' button at the bottom of the window.

  6. Highlight the 'Path' Variable under the 'User variables' and click the 'Edit' button.

  7. Click the 'New' button and add these paths. Note that you may need to update the sam library version below.

    • C:Program Files (x86)Arduinohardwaretoolsavravrbin

    • C:Program Files (x86)Arduinohardwaretoolsavrbin

    • %USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalArduino15packagesarduinohardwaresam1.6.11systemCMSISExamplescmsis_examplegcc_atmel ​

    • C:Program Files (x86)Arduino

  8. Click 'Ok' for windows and reboot the computer.

  9. Once rebooted, open a windows command prompt (Search for 'command prompt'). Navigate to the Grbl source folder via 'cd' change directory commands. In the root of the Grbl source directory, where the Makefile is located, first type 'make clean' to wipe any old build files, then type 'make' and Grbl should compile.

An alternative is to use Atmel Studio, a customized version of Visual Studio.

Last update: 2014-07-18 by gerritv (tested on Windows 8.1, 64bit)

  • Install Atmel Studio
  • Install the Create From Makefile Extension (Tools/Extension Manager)
  • run Tools/Create Project From Makefil
  • select the Makefile from your grbl code directory
  • Select Device, use ATmega328p for the Arduino Uno
  • In Projects/Properties, uncheck Use External Makefile
  • Add -DF_CPU=16000000 -mmcu=atmega328p to Project/Properties/Toolchain/AVR Gnu Compiler/Miscellaneous Other Flags

The last 2 steps need to be done for both Debug and Release configurations

Enjoy the benefits of Visual Studio for Atmel/AVR

You may encounter an error about a missing libtinfo.so.5. I got grbl to compile and run usingthe following. WARNING: The following is a hack, and there are probably better solutions, but this wasquick and has worked for me.

  1. Install libtinfo from AUR with yaourt -S libtinfo
  2. Check to see what you've got installed. In my case, it looked like the following, where you cansee that libtinfo.so.6 is installed, but not 5.
  1. You can get things working by symlinking libncursesw.so.6.0 as libtinfo.so.5:

Apple created the XQuartz project as a community effort to further develop and support X11 on Mac. The XQuartz project was originally based on the version of X11 included in Mac OS X v10.5. There have since been multiple releases of XQuartz with fixes, support for new features, and additional refinements to the X11 experience. Apple is a contributor to the XQuartz project and has worked to ensure that X11 works as expected with macOS and latest available versions of XQuartz.

X11 server and client libraries for macOS are available from the XQuartz project at www.xquartz.org. Download the latest version available.
