Closed TrailBee47 closed 1 year ago

TrailBee47 commented 2 years ago

Hi, Sorry if I am putting it here on github. I have just got started with FPGAs and I got this kit. now everything works fine I am able to build blink and test it on device but when I try to make the pwm_rainbow example the build fails when I run 'make'

-- Executing script filepwm_rainbow.ys' -- ERROR: Can't open script file pwm_rainbow.ys' for reading: No such file or directory

Hi @TrailBee47, Which platform are you trying to run this on?

gregdavill commented 2 years ago

Another thing to try is to run make pwm_rainbow.ys to execute the commands which generate pwm_rainbow.ys. This might highlight the underlying issue.

Hi @gregdavill , I am running this on Mac OS.

when I run your command it says this 

 make pwm_rainbow.ys
make: `pwm_rainbow.ys' is up to date.

For reference, I hit this too. The problem is because make on macOS is BSD make, which doesn't support the $(file) command as it's used. The solution is to instead use GNU make, through brew install make. This adds the gmake command to your $PATH, so you can do gmake dfu. Alternatively, you can add this to your ~/.bash_profile:

alias make='gmake'
