You need to clone the qmk_firmware repository outside the linux filesystem.

[HMarxen]

Hi, Msys2 prompted weird error codes so I installed the Ubuntu Windows app. Setting this up was super easy. However, when I try to run ./util/qmk_install.sh it prompts: You need to clone the qmk_firmware repository outside the linux filesystem. Otherwise the windows executables can't be run. How do I do this? When I google the prompt, I just get to this github repo. Can I even use the Ubuntu app for this?

MSYS is the better method to use, to be honest, because of this (and some other odd issues).

But basically, you need to download git for windows, install that, use that to clone qmk_firmware, and then run the rest from LxSS/WSL/Bash for Windows.

THX! I had changed because I got this prompt for which I couldn't find anything helpful when I googled it.

If you still want to push through with using Ubuntu on Windows, you can access your hard drive in the /mnt directory.

I have all my git repositories stored in C:/dev/, so I access them on Ubuntu on Windows via cd /mnt/c/dev/.

THX. I've got it all running now. :) But one strange thing: The example from the instructions compiles just fine.

~/qmk_firmware$ make clueboard/66/rev3:default

but when I try to compile my own keyset this appears:

~/qmk_firmware$ make xd75/keymaps/henning:default
QMK Firmware 0.6.164
make: *** No rule to make target 'xd75/keymaps/henning:default'. Stop.
|
|  QMK's make format recently changed to use folder locations and colons:
|     make project_folder:keymap[:target]
|  Examples:
|     make planck/rev4:default:dfu
|     make planck:default

This also compiles fine: ~/qmk_firmware$ make xd75:default I have triple checked the folder path.

Hi, try to compile with the following command: make xd75:henning

[HMarxen]

That prompts:

Okay, that one is error in your keymap, try to replace #include keymap_extras/keymap_german.h with #include "keymap_german.h".

Thank you very much! I guess I rushed ahead without reading the next topic. If I may ask you about one last issue? I get a huge error message about rgb light. But apart from including RGB mode keys in my layout I didn't do anything with RGB.

Huh, this seems to be a bit out of my scope, but for sure it would help us to resolve this issue if you provide your keymap files.

[HMarxen]

I didn't really change anything from the default except the key layout.

#include "xd75.h"

// Layer shorthand
#define _QW 0
#define _FN 1

const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {

  { KC_TAB,  DE_Q,    DE_W,    DE_E,    DE_R,    DE_T,    DE_7,    DE_8,    DE_9,    DE_Z,    DE_U,    DE_I,    DE_O,    DE_P,    DE_UE   },

 }
};

const uint16_t PROGMEM fn_actions[] = {

};

const macro_t *action_get_macro(keyrecord_t *record, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt)
{
  // MACRODOWN only works in this function
      switch(id) {
        case 0:
          if (record->event.pressed) {
            register_code(KC_RSFT);
            #ifdef BACKLIGHT_ENABLE
              backlight_step();
            #endif
          } else {
            unregister_code(KC_RSFT);
          }
        break;
      }
    return MACRO_NONE;
};

[coarse]

Replace line 47 and 48 of quantum/rgblight.c with this:

#ifndef MIN
  #define MIN(a,b) (((a)<(b))?(a):(b))
#endif
#ifndef MAX
  #define MAX(a,b) (((a)>(b))?(a):(b))
#endif

What's happening is that the macros MIN and MAX were being redefined in rgblight.c, but they were already defined in the LUFA USB driver.

[HMarxen]

hmmm now I get a million error codes about every bit of the keymap and alot about usb. I had followed the instructions about the drivers. However, the board came with tmk and I had folowed those driver instructions first. Is there perhaps a conflict now? I don't really get why the default keymap compiles just fine.

[drashna]

You need to have #include "keymap_german.h" in your keymap.c file, or it will complain about all of the DE_* keys

This compiles: https://gist.github.com/drashna/47a70f8990e5d7073ab31df958da93bc
