Hello everyone, I am completely new to MIDIbox. I am trying to get the first tutorial to compile under Ubuntu 18.04 for Core 32 STM32F4 and get the following error message :   ``` \> make -s Creating object file for strtol.c /home/sojastar/Documents/Programmation/MIOS32/mios32/programming\_models/traditional/strtol.c:147:19: error: expected ')' before '(' token  \_DEFUN (\_strtol\_r, (rptr, nptr, endptr, base),                    ^~                     ) ```   This is from a fresh ( probably faulty ) install of the toolchain : I first cloned the git repo for MIOS32 then installed the latest arm toolchain following these instructions : [https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/toolchain/arm/install/](https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/toolchain/arm/install/) I did add the toolchain path to my PATH. Any advice or pointer would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks ! Julien ---

do you compile a standard app? or some own programmed? (\> you get that message by every app you want to compile?) (i also use ubuntu - and for me its always pain in the ass - to get it running \> all the librarys you have to install… luckely i dont have to fresh install my OS only once a few years…) ---

Hey Phatline, Thanks for the quick answer. No, I just tried to compile the first tutorial project in apps/tutorials/001\_forwarding\_midi and the app skeleton in apps/templates/app\_skeleton. Both projects give the same error. Thanks, Julien ---

Oops, Silly me, an issue was already opened on the GitHub repo site : [https://github.com/midibox/mios32/issues/3](https://github.com/midibox/mios32/issues/3) Maybe better to focus efforts there. Julien ---

Problem solved. I left a comment in the GitHub issue but here is a copy of it for convenience : I installed the toolchain found here : [http://www.midibox.org/mios32\_toolchain/](http://www.midibox.org/mios32_toolchain/) ( as I should have from the beginning but I got wary when I saw it was last updated in 2013 ) and everything works fine now but for a few warnings. Apparently the newer arm toolchain doesn’t define the `_DEFUN`,  `_AND` and `_CONST` macros ( and a bunch of other ones too ) in \_ansi.h.
