Title: Eclipse and MingW, cannot make it work
Post by: Brunosanta on October 17, 2017, 06:32:43 pm: Hello all,
could anyone help me to set my eclipse to compile using the Mingw32?
I'm a little confused, cause first I created a brunch with the sourcetree, I have the source files in a location A:
then I followed the wiki configured the Msys2, and it downloaded the files again to a different location inside the msys\librepilot

I thank you in advance,
see you

What did you expect ?

maybe its a lame question, but I am not very experienced.. I though that I could maybe use msys2 to "make", compile the files I had already downloaded using sourcetree. is that possible?

second, I get a compilation error:
Project ERROR: gstreamer-app-1.0 development package not found
mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:296: C:/msys64/home/Administrator/librepilot/build/librepilot-gcs_release/Makefile] Error 3

the reason I want to build the environment is because I want to try to create a one button magnetometer calibration.

thanks,

You will need to copy the ground directory or modified files (try git status) where the Msys dev environment is installed

Post by: filnet on October 17, 2017, 08:26:03 pm: You could also use your sourcetree checkout but then you'll need to run some of the setup steps in there (from a msys2 prompt).

mingw32-make all_sdk_install is one of them and should suffice.

with your tip I was able to compile it. I basically downloaded the packages all again, and although most were there and stated skipping. some had failed on the first try and I missed seeing it. I like the next version, the oplink graphics change look sick! Im said that my oplink even with The other cliff firmware is not really working. in between I am trying to figure out how to use the eclipse to compile using Mingw and the files downloaded with Msys32..
