Copter-4.0.4 compile error

ArduCopter Copter 4.0

Hello.
I’m building Copter-4.0.3 using Cygwin on Windows 10.
I downloaded ‘ardupilot-Copter-4.0.3.zip’ file from ‘https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/releases/tag/Copter-4.0.3’.

I’v got error message below, when I typed ‘./waf copter’

$ ./waf copter

I couldn’t any solution through googling…
In this case, What can I do?

Hello,

You will find the answer by following the wiki instruction ! https://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/building-the-code.html
The issue you have is just that you take a zip from github and not use git to get the code. We are using git on the build phase, so it is mandatory !

Are you trying to build this outside of a git tree? That’s won’t work too
well.

Try running “/usr/bin/git rev-parse --short=8 HEAD” in the root directory
of the ArduPilot tree and paste the results.

Hello, peterbarker. Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I’m building like you said(outside of a git tree)
I got value, after typed “/usr/bin/git rev-parse --short=8 HEAD”

이주성@DESKTOP-QQUOFPP /cygdrive/d/01_Dron/20_Ardupilot/01_FW_Ardu/ardupilot-Copter-4.0.3
$ /usr/bin/git rev-parse --short=8 HEAD
0aa5d5c8

So, the results value is 0aa5d5c8.
How to paste? or Where to paste?
I hope your reply again. Thank you

Hi khancyr.
I couldn’t find good way on ardupilot site because I’m starter…
Ardupilot site show how to build from latest Code.
I think there is no way to build using ‘*.zip’ file on the site maybe…

For use git,
I created now repository on my Github,
cloned to desktop’s folder,
unzip ‘ardupilot-Copter-4.0.3.zip’ file to the folder,
did commit, publish
and, check the same result again.

What’s wrong with me?
I’m waiting your reply again
Thank you.

Ok I guess that may be not obvious for newcomers.

Follow the instructions on the wiki to setup Master (aka the lastest development). Try a build to unsure that everything is fine.

Then use git checkout copter-4.0.3 and git submodule update --init --recursive

The first git command use git to change master branch to copter-4.0.3 branch that you want. The second command will tell git to update the dependancies to the right version for copter-4.0.3
