How to run new added binaries using makefile

  • 772

I have added some pre-compiled tools for developing ARM into the /home/charlie/bin/ARM directory. When I modify the path by PATH=/home/charlie/bin/ARM:"$PATH" I can execute arm-none-eabi-gcc in the terminal.

However when I run make I got this error: 

/bin/sh: 1: arm-none-eabi-gcc: not found.

What is the proper mechanism to make new programs located anywhere to be executed like native binaries (for example gcc) and why was I able to run it in terminal after changing PATH but make had problems ?

command-line

  1. OP's original answer:

    The PATH needs to be EXPORTed too!

    export PATH=/home/charlie/bin/ARM:"$PATH"
