Hello respected members!
I am installing SITL on windows 10. when I reach this step
> cd ~/ardupilot/ArduCopter > make sitl -j4
So it gives me the following error …/mk/apm.mk:25: /modules/uavcan/libuavcan/include.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target ‘/modules/uavcan/libuavcan/include.mk’. Stop.
I searched the similar problems on forum someone said that to check that “include.mk” file is available or not, so I checked it, its there. One respected member also said that dont need to perform this step, just go to desired directory and type “sim_vehicle.py” but it says command not found, But still the same problem.
Please help me to solve this problem. Bunch of thanks
Idea 1: Close the old terminals, open a new terminal, and run the following 4 commands in order:
cd ~/ardupilot
git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive
make sitl
I expect you’ll get the exact same error, but I want to make sure.
Idea 2: There is some text just above the step which seems to fail. It says:
If you have an existing clone of the ArduPilot repository, navigate to it in the terminal using “cd /cygdrive/drive/path”
ie “cd /cygdrive/c/Users/James/Documents/GitHub/ardupilot” (substitute your own path).
Did you do something like this, or ignore it?
Idea 3: Could you copy-and-paste the output from the following commands for us to see?
ls -lah ~/ardupilot/modules/uavcan/libuavcan/
cat ~/ardupilot/modules/uavcan/libuavcan/include.mk
Sir thank you very much for your precious time.
One thing I want to mention that on SITL setup on Windows using Cygwin (not recommended) — Dev documentation
I have skipped the packages for If you want to compile the firmware as well then you should also install these packages step 4. So is this necessary just for using simulator ?
And what you said in your comments I am mentioning them here bellow. Idea one
make -C ArduPlane sitl

I found something which may be important.
The “No such file or directory” error is looking for
/modules/uavcan/libuavcan/include.mk
which is different than
./modules/uavcan/libuavcan/include.mk
or perhaps
~/ardupilot/modules/uavcan/libuavcan/include.mk
The difference is the . or ~/ardupilot at the beginning, this pre-fix is important. It may be a clue that the make process is looking in the wrong place for the file.
Does anyone else know how to solve this? If yes, please post and let us know! (This is just my best guess.)
Also, your first post shows you following directions for SITL in ArduCopter
But your second post is making in ArduPlane
It may or may not be important… but what do you actually want to do?
One more thing: Your home directory “Engr Ibrahim” has a space in it. I have seen spaces in directory names cause problems. Could you change it to Engr_Ibrahim and try again? That might be the whole problem…
