    So what "errors", exactly, did you have?

    What makes you think that it's a problem with the installation ?

    Hi Andy, I am exporting a project using ARM Toolchain from linux to windows. I already solved many of the errors only adding the path of ARM Toolchain to environment variables. I am new with this toolchain then i was only asking for a tutorial or guide to use this toolchain with VSC in windows.

    Now I can compile but still I have some errors like

    [build] [ 60%] Linking CXX executable program_test.exe
    [build] c:/program files (x86)/gnu arm embedded toolchain/10 2020-q4-major/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/10.2.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld.exe: unrecognized option '--major-image-version'

    [build] mingw32-make.exe: *** [all] Error 2
    [build] Build finished with exit code 2
    I think the problem could be the compiler is trying to make an executable when it must generate a binary file for microcontroller. Do you have any clue to solve this problem?

    But that's GCC - not the ARM Compiler.

    The problem is here:
    ld.exe: unrecognized option '--major-image-version'

    You will need to identify why an apparently unrecognized option is being given to ld.

    The GNU toolchain forum may be able to offer more help with GCC:

    It seems the problem is in file Link.txt

    "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe" -E rm -f CMakeFiles\program_test.dir/objects.a
    C:\MinGW\bin\ar.exe cr CMakeFiles\program_test.dir/objects.a @CMakeFiles\program_test.dir\objects1.rsp


    arm-none-eabi-g++ -std=gnu++98 -fno-rtti -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-missing-field-initializers -fmessage-length=0 -fno-exceptions -fno-builtin -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -funsigned-char -MMD -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -fomit-frame-pointer -Os -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb -g -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--wrap,main -Wl,--wrap,exit -Wl,--wrap,atexit -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb "-TC:/Users/contr/Documents.../mbed-dev/targets/TARGET_NXP/TARGET_LPC176X/device/TOOLCHAIN_GCC_ARM/LPC1768.ld" -static -Wl,--whole-archive CMakeFiles\program_test.dir/objects.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -o program_test.exe -Wl,--out-implib,libprogram_test.dll.a -Wl,--major-image-version,0,--minor-image-version,0 @CMakeFiles\program_test.dir\linklibs.rsp

    if i quit these flag the output don recognize --minor-image-version Flag. I don't know where could be the problem.
