Version. 9adf441d5ced473996fd076ee13b914e6f05bf62
Printer: MK3

Hi, when i compile the firmware using build.sh for my MK3, this is the log i get, i think something is wrong with languages, when i flash the firmware.hex my printer display random chars really fast and bootloops

Hi everybody. It took me some time but here a Windows build environment you can try if you want

Same here. Compile and upload with arduino as usual.

Note that this does work for me.

Stock fedora 28 here.

Tried on Ubuntu and it works... Investigated the problem a bit, it seems that the objdump command used to generate symbols that allows lang scripts to find the addresses to insert languages cant find the section, im running ArchLinux

An easy multi-platorm way would be using Docker for example, im currently building Prusa-Firmware with it on ArchLinux :)

Dockerfile (put in Prusa-Firmware/Dockerfile)

FROM debian
RUN apt update && apt install -y unzip xxd gawk
RUN mkdir -p /code
WORKDIR /code

Dockerfile building

cd Prusa-Firmware
docker build . -t prusa-build-image

Prusa-Firmware building

cd Prusa-Firmware
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/code prusa-build-image "./build.sh"

EDIT: I'll make a proper/cleaner version of this to make a pull request later.

The compile instructions have been updated:

2.c. In file "Firmware/config.h" set LANG_MODE to 0.

With this I managed to build and upload the firmware without boot loops.

Hi, I use Windows and found a way to compile the Prusa MK3 and MK2.5 firmware. Which should also work on all Linux versions.
I use Arduino IDE 1.6.9 and 1.8.5 in portable mode exclusively for the Prusa environment.
I will try to update my https://github.com/3d-gussner/Prusa-Firmware/wiki/How-to:-Build-Prusa-Firmware asap.
If you cant wait just checkout https://github.com/mkbel/PF-build-env/commit/395c94bdd63c5519ad7b5cebd8463ba809f26518 these changes to avr6.xn made the difference between

 Czech  : NG!
 German : NG!
 Italian: NG!
 Spanish: NG!
 French : NG!
 Polish : NG!

and

Czech : OK
German : OK
Italian: OK
Spanish: OK
French : OK
Polish : OK

@mkbel How do you generate the initial lang_en.txt file? And how does the lang_add.txt has to be to add new missing messages?
There are also some not_used messages, some of them are MK2.5 or MK3 specific but other aren't translated even they are used in both versions like:

Change extruder
Extruder 1
Extruder 2
Extruder 3
Extruder 4
Fil. sensor response is poor, disable it?
Improving bed calibration point
Insert filament into extruder 1. Click when done.
Insert filament into extruder 2. Click when done.
Insert filament into extruder 3. Click when done.
Insert filament into extruder 4. Click when done.
Iteration
No 
Unload all
XYZ calibration compromised. Left front calibration point not reachable.
XYZ calibration failed. Left front calibration point not reachable.

How do i get these added so i can translate them correctly.

Which software do you use for the .pot and .po files? Something like https://poedit.net and if so which version?

And final question @mkbel @PavelSindler
as the ../lang/config.sh shows export ARDUINO=C:/arduino-1.8.5 and the PF-build-env revision is also 1.8.5
are we finally allowed to use Arduino IDE 1.8.5 instead of the old unsupported Arduino IDE 1.6.9?
