Failure to manuconfig for Katapult

[Jesusday]

When trying to get the make manuconfig under the installing katapult, it says there is not a file.

"pi@VoronTriZero:~/katapult $ make menuconfig Makefile:139: out/board-link: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target 'src/Kconfig', needed by '/home/pi/katapult/.config'. Stop."

This is probably an easy fix for someone who knows Lenix but that is not me.

I have a Pi 5 on this machine that is failing. I have followed your steps on two older printers and they did work for them with older pi's. I tried copying the katapult folder from one of those pi to this pi 5 and it seems like there is not enough room for the folder and it will not copy everything over. I would assume that is why there is a missing folder where the command is looking for and causing the fails to build.

Here are the commands leading up to this failure point: "pi@VoronTriZero:~ $ sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-can pip3 install pyserial Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security InRelease Hit:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates InRelease Hit:4 http://archive.raspberrypi.com/debian bookworm InRelease Reading package lists...

Here is not a good place for support, but for your specfic issue I'd try removing your katapult folder rm -rf ~/katapult then getting a fresh version cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/Arksine/katapult then trying the cd ~/katapult and make menuconfig again. If you still have issues the best place I am (and others) is the "can-and-usb_toolhead_boards" channel on the VORONDesign discord https://discord.com/channels/460117602945990666/1076243803947667516

It worked! I guess deleting it through WinSCP and re-creating is not the same.

Thank you for your reply! It was not till after making this issue that I realized Katapult has its own github.
