Building in Windows with MSYS2
- This environment does not require installing WSL, which may not be available or would get in the way of other virtualization and/or anti-cheat software
- It is also much faster to install and get set up because of its small size(~3.65 GB total after building hex file as of 6.0.0)
Setting up the environment
Download and install MSYS2
- For 6.0.0, the last version that works is 20220603
- 20220503 is also known to work
- MSYS2 releases can be viewed at https://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/
- Scroll all the way down for an executable, scroll halfway down for a self-extracting archive
- Open an MSYS2 terminal by running C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd
- In the newly opened shell, set up your work path
- To paste commands, use "Shift+Insert" or Right-click and select "Paste"
mkdir /c/Workspace
Downloading and installing dependencies
Installing other dependencies:
pacman -S git ruby make cmake gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-libwinpthread-git unzip wget
- Note: If some fails to download, use the following command to install the rest without reinstalling everything:
pacman -S git ruby make cmake gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-libwinpthread-git unzip wget --needed
Download the INAV repository
Go to the working directory
cd /c/Workspace
Download INAV source code
- For master:
git clone https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav
# "release_6.0.0" here can be the name of a branch or a tag
git clone --branch release_6.0.0 https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav
- If you are internet speed or space restrained, you can also use
--depth 1, which won't download the whole history, and--single-branch, which won't download other branches:
git clone --depth 1 --single-branch --branch release_6.0.0 https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav
This results in ~302 MB instead of ~468 MB download/install size(as of 6.0.0)
Installing xPack
- Create xPack directory:
mkdir /c/Workspace/xpack
cd /c/Workspace/xpack
- Find out which version of xPack you need for your INAV version:
# Currently, this is 10.2.1 for 6.0.0 and 10.3.1 for master
cat /c/Workspace/inav/cmake/arm-none-eabi-checks.cmake | grep "set(arm_none_eabi_gcc_version" | cut -d\" -f2
- Find the version you need from the releases page, then either:
- Download the "...-win32-x64.zip" and copy the folder inside, or
- Right-click, choose "Copy link address" and paste it into the following commands:
cd /c/Workspace/xpack
# paste the link after "wget"
wget https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack/releases/download/v10.2.1-1.1/xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-10.2.1-1.1-win32-x64.zip
# paste the file name after "unzip"
unzip xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-10.2.1-1.1-win32-x64.zip
# you can delete the zip file after as it is no longer needed
rm xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-10.2.1-1.1-win32-x64.zip
- This is important. Put the toolkit first before your path so that it is picked up ahead of any other versions that may be present on your system:
export PATH=/c/Workspace/xpack/xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-10.2.1-1.1/bin:$PATH
Building the INAV firmware
- Create the build directory:
mkdir /c/Workspace/inav/build
- Go into the build directory:
cd /c/Workspace/inav/build
- Run cmake
- This may take a while. If you only want to test one target, remove the rest of the folders from C:\Workspace\inav\src\main\target\
cmake ..
- Compile the firmware for your flight controller.
make MATEKH743
- The list of available targets in INAV can be found here: https://github.com/inavflight/inav/tree/master/src/main/target
- The generated hex file will be in the /c/Workspace/inav/build folder
Troubleshooting
*** multiple target patterns. Stop. | Error 2
Delete everything in the build directory that contains previous runs
You can either use file explorer and delete everything inside C:\Workspace\inav\build or run:
cd /c/Workspace/inav/build && rm -rf *
-- could not find arm-none-eabi-gcc
Redo export PATH, make sure xpack version number is correct:
export PATH=/c/Workspace/xpack/xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-10.2.1-1.1/bin:$PATH
