Set up the Building Enviroment

When I run:
git submodule update --init --recursive.

I got:
error: pathspec ‘–-recursive’ did not match any file(s) known to git.

When I run:
./waf configure –-board CubeBlack

I got:
No function ‘\xe2\x80\x93-board’ defined in /home/mpbatista/pitangus/wscript

I’m working in a forked version, but it is an issue even when I clone the master one.

2

are you running the commands inside the ardupilot directory?

3

Yes, I am running inside the clonned directory. I’m working in a WSL enviroment into ubuntu installed in Windows.

4

Could you please provide the entire terminal output as an image or text?

I think something is wrong with the - s.
git submodule update --init --recursive
Does the above work?
Also, do
./waf configure --board CubeBlack
You have a mismatch at “–” and “-”

Oh thanks so much! You really helped su much. I still have a problem with submodules. Related to configure, I got it and now I’m able to upload in pix. I run and I got it:

mpbatista@ENG-MARCOSBATISTA:~/pitangus$ git submodule update --init --recursive fatal: No url found for submodule path ‘modules/PX4Firmware’ in .gitmodules

In my .gitmodules I have:

[submodule “modules/uavcan”]

path = modules/uavcan

url = git://github.com/ArduPilot/uavcan.git

[submodule “modules/waf”]

path = modules/waf

url = git://github.com/ArduPilot/waf.git

[submodule “modules/gbenchmark”]

path = modules/gbenchmark

url = git://github.com/google/benchmark.git

[submodule “modules/mavlink”]

path = modules/mavlink

url = git://github.com/ArduPilot/mavlink

[submodule “gtest”]

path = modules/gtest

url = git://github.com/ArduPilot/googletest

[submodule “modules/ChibiOS”]

path = modules/ChibiOS

url = git://github.com/ArduPilot/ChibiOS.git

[submodule “modules/libcanard”]

path = modules/libcanard

url = git://github.com/ArduPilot/libcanard.git

Did you run git submodule update --init --recursive command inside the ardupilot repository folder?
Do cd ardupilot/ before executing the git submodule update --init --recursive.
Above is valid for building ardupilot main repository from source code since I don’t know which forked repository you are using.
