Problem
I want to use a toolchain, how do I know what the magic word is for the toolchain of my choice? How do I know what toolchains are supported?
Running build_release.py --help nets the following
./build_release.py --help 1 ↵
[WARNING] Using default settings. Define your settings in the file "./mbed_settings.py"
Usage: build_release.py [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o, --official Build using only the official toolchain for each
target
-j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS Number of concurrent jobs (default 1). Use 0 for auto
based on host machine's number of CPUs
-v, --verbose Verbose diagnostic output
-t TOOLCHAINS, --toolchains=TOOLCHAINS
Use toolchains names separated by comma
-p PLATFORMS, --platforms=PLATFORMS
Build only for the platform namesseparated by comma
-L, --list-config List the platforms and toolchains in the release in
JSON
--report-build=REPORT_BUILD_FILE_NAME
Output the build results to an junit xml file
--build-tests=BUILD_TESTS
Build all tests in the given directories (relative to
/libraries/tests)
I have no clue what the options for -t are
Solution
Either add tab completion for sub options, or add the currently supported toolchains to the help menu. In fact all of these commands would benefit from a example command in their help text.
