nothing works

[phil123456]

Hi,

[using the recent/last version of everything, fresh windows 10 home install]

following the getting started

https://github.com/electro-smith/DaisyWiki/wiki/1.-Setting-Up-Your-Development-Environment

• installed the toolchains, and git
• installed VS code
• just no way to have git-bash integration as a terminal (please provide a 2023 compatible tutorial)

in VS code, CTRL+P task build_all and build...dfu, gives tons of errors

*  Executing task: make 

make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
 *  Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it. 

 *  Executing task: make clean; make; make program-dfu 

rm -fR build
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, rm -fR build, ...) failed.    
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

I ran git-bash from the shell, typing make says daisy library is missing

• I tried the web programmer (Edge, then Chrome), it show daisy being paired the web page buttons are greyed out

thanks for helping

Generally speaking, the daisy slack workspace is the best place to ask for advice if your local setup doesn't work. As far as I can see, your problem is not per se an issue with libDaisy itself. You will also find many likeminded people there, it's generally a nice place for exchange and for seeking help. In the future, please ask there.

Now to your problem: Your compilation errors (both on VSCode and in git bash) tell us that libDaisy was not found by the linker. This means the blink project itself compiled fine, but the linker couldn't find the libDaisy library and hence couldn't create a complete firmware. When you use makefiles and the make command, libDaisy will not be built automatically for you (unlike CMake where dependencies are also automatically built). To resolve your issue, all you have to do is to navigate to the libDaisy source code folder (which you should have checked out alongside the examples) and run make there to build the libDaisy binary. That should compile the libDaisy binary. Now you can run make in your project source code folder again and the linking step should work just fine. (If it still complains the libDaisy is missing, check these two steps: 1. Make sure that the libDaisy binary is atually available on your hard drive. The compilation of libDaisy should have shown you the path to the libdaisy binary in the terminal messages. 2. make sure that the project Makefile uses the correct path to the libDaisy source code folder so that the linker can find this binary when you build the project)

Let me know if this helped!

Here's a forum thread where these issues were resolved: https://forum.electro-smith.com/t/issue-with-git-not-installing-properly-on-windows/3472 To summarize, phil123456 needed to install git on C:\

Regarding the daisy slack workspace, we recently switched over to Discord (https://discord.gg/Fucun32Mqj). For inquiry such as this though, we do suggest that it gets asked in the forum.
