Help with the developer problem(Developer Tools: Build from Source)

Hi Erison.

I am also using a VM and I did not face this issue.

By checking the logs, in my case, the version.sh is being called with the following parameters:

tools/version.sh -v 0.1 -b bdf298a .version

However, I noticed that If I remove the parameter for the -b, I have the same error than you:

$ tools/version.sh -v 0.1 -b .version
Missing path to the output file
USAGE: tools/version.sh [-d|-h] [-b <build>] -v <major.minor> <outfile-path>
Try 'tools/version.sh -h' for more information

So, it seems that the build parameter is missing when it is called by the make because the OVERRIDE_BUILD_NUM (in Makefile.unix) is empty.

Can you check what the "git describe --always --dirty --match nothing" command in $BUILD_TOP/nuttx/nuttx folder is returning for you? It should be an hexa value.

Thanks

Leo

Hi Leo.

First of the all,thanks for your time.

Check the command what you tell me,it seems return somthing different.The result are as follow,

xcjapp@xcj-virtual-machine:~/Build_Environment/nuttx/nuttx$ git describe --always --dirty --match nothing

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Thanks again!

Erison.

Erison,

Strange! The nuttx directory should be retrieved from a git repository created by the command "git clone https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/nuttx" that you had executed during the "Download Source Code" section.  Do you remember to move the dir or perform any other operation in this dir?

My suggestion, if you do not have anything to loose (your code and changes), remove the nuttx and get the git repo again:

cd $BUILD_TOP
rm -Rf nuttx
git clone https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/nuttx

After that, follow the steps in your first post.

Thanks

Leo

Hi Leo,

Thank you very much.The error is gone.

Doing what you suggest,step by step,everything goes well,and did not face that issue again.Maybe the last time I clone the nuttx folder missing some documents.

Thanks

Erison
