Building arducopter returns error

ArduCopter
1

Hello,

I tried to compile arducopter and I got an error related to uavcan apparently.

[14/15] CMake Build px4 msg_gen
No such file or directory
CMake Error: Generator: execution of make failed. Make command was: “” “msg_gen”

Compiler failure
Traceback (most recent call last):

last = next(it)
StopIteration

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

uavcangen returned 1 error code

I am running arch linux, uavcan is installed in both pip2 and pip3. (The error occured before I installed those as well).

Anyone got any tips for me?

Thanks in advance,
Michiel

have you updated the subomdules? using

git subomdule update --init --recursive

3

This does not resolve the issue, unfortunately

4

One thing I forgot to mention, I am able to build it for SITL, what I am trying is px4-v3, which does not work

5

Which build system are you using?
Have you followed an instruction here which install prerequisites
http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/building-setup-linux.html
If not type follow in ardupilot directory

Tools/scripts/install-prereqs-arch.sh -y
. ~/.profile

Have you tried waf build system any chance?
If not type follow in ardupilot directory

./waf configure --board=px4-v3
./waf copter

6

Yes I have followed the entire build page, to no avail.

7

I think px4-v3 builds the old nuttx it is fmuv3 for the new chibios, nuttx might not build on master anymore

8

So what do you suggest? Which branch is better to build?

9

nuttx is out of date now support is finishing, use ChibiOS

Okay, I set a different build target. Still same error.
