Minipov3 Programming Issue

Post by chethandsome »

Gotten up to running make mypov.hex but getting the following error

make (e=2): the system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [mypov.o] Error 2

Any help mucho appreciated.

Retried a few steps after seeing things were in the incorrect folders, now got

Error 1, but still relates to the make program looking for

mypov.o, which doesn't exist.

can you compile -any- of the sources?
what OS, avr dev tools, etc are you using?

OS - XP sp2
avrdude

I followed the instructions from the site to a "t" but can't get anything to compile.

Here is a screen grab of the contents of the folder and the error when I try to compile.

I had to move the make.exe to the same folder as the rest of the source, as when I attempted to just run make as a standalone command, it wasn't able to find it. (not sure if that means a botched avrdude install or not).

Maybe try removing the file "make.exe"? I've never had that in my minipov3 directory, and I've been able to program fine. Maybe its causing problems with the make command, not sure.

when it is moved out of that directory it won't find the executable from the command line and fails saying that 'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, blah blah blah.

any idea what the mypov.o (or what ever source is being compiled) file and why is it being referenced?

did you install winavr as the instructions say ?
you should not end up with make.exe in your directory

I had a similar issue. It turns out the dos window I had open was before the installation, so the path wasn't correct. I closed the dos window, opened a new one and it had all the correct variables/paths so the code was able to compile.
