Waf build fails

General

Hello, I try to build ArduPilot on Win10 with Cygwin.

Everything was installed according a manual from the website, everything seems to work, but I can’t build any configuration. Here is my log:

user@PC ~/ardupilot
$ ./waf configure --board CubeBlack

user@PC ~/ardupilot
$ ./waf plane
The project was not configured: run "waf configure" first!

It doesn’t matter that configuration I choose, it just can’t build anything. I have already tried to start Cygwin as administrator without success.

What is the problem?

did you run “./waf clean” first ?

Yes, with same result:

user@PC ~/ardupilot
$ ./waf clean
The project was not configured: run "waf configure" first!

forget cygwin, use WSL2, it always works.

Ok, thanks for your advice, I’ll try to install WSL now

Try to paste the following command at a DOS prompt (press window and R key then enter cmd) in the directory where you downloaded “Run setup-x86_64.exe”

setup-x86_64.exe -P autoconf,automake,ccache,gcc-g++,git,libtool,make,gawk,libexpat-devel,libxml2-devel,python36,python36-future,python36-lxml,python36-pip,libxslt-devel,python36-devel,procps-ng,zip,gdb,ddd
