Issues configuring or building an example with pre-compiled docker image

[rajames]

Description of the issue:

When using the prebuilt docker image I'm unable to configure and/or build the
hello example after following instructions in README.

How to reproduce:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/sonydevworld/spresense.git
$ git submodule foreach git checkout master

Then using the docker image:

$ source spresense_env.sh 
This script has to be sourced.
. ./spresense_env.sh or source spresense_env.sh
 
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from devworldsony/spresense-sdk-env
Digest: sha256:3a2f02cf9e0a1063585db66ddca43d5633dd65545ea9d00dd88983de39ca24d6
Status: Image is up to date for devworldsony/spresense-sdk-env:latest
docker.io/devworldsony/spresense-sdk-env:latest
After this script executed successfully:
Usage: spresense [command]
This will run command in the Spresense SDK docker environment.

Followed by:

SpresenseSDK:$ spresense sh -c "cd /spresense/sdk && tools/config.py examples/hello"
make[1]: *** [include/arch/board] Error 1
make: *** [olddefconfig] Error 2
Post process failed. 512
Try 'make distclean' first.

It appears that the following:

git submodule foreach git checkout master

updates the submodules:

reverting the above changes seems to give better results (and 'fix' the problem)

Hi @rajames

Does this mean the problem has been resolved and we can close this issue?

[rajames]

Hi @kamtom480 the problem is not resolved since following the README instructions I get the above described issue.
If you omit the git submodule foreach .. command from the README as you mentioned in #131 then this should resolve the issue.

@rajames

Thank you for your confirmation. I created a PR #133 for this. When the #133 is merged I will close this issue.

Hi, in which way this git issue is related with make olddefconfig failing?

[rajames]

@fxmarty Sorry, I'm not familiar with issue related with make olddefconfig

[kamtom480]

@fxmarty This issue should not be related to make olddefconfig failing. Do you have problems with make olddefconfig?

[fxmarty]

Sorry to pollute this issue then, I will post this single message.

Yes, spresense SDK's tools/config.py (e.g. called as ./tools/config.py examples/hello) would fail for me in do_olddefconfig(), when we try to perform make olddefconfig. Despite doing make distclean as suggested the error persists.

The actual root problem is the following, when executing make olddefconfig:

make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/felix/spresense/sdk/apps'
../sdk/apps/Kconfig:10: can't open file "/home/felix/spresense/sdk/apps/examples/Kconfig"

I wonder why in my case this Kconfig file is missing. I found a manual solution which at least does not show errors, which is to delete sdk/Kconfig and sdk/apps/Kconfig files. Deleting nuttx/.config is an alternative which also works.

After deleting such files, tools/config.py do not complain anymore.

@fxmarty Could you please send me step by step what you do from the moment the repository is cloned until an error occurs?

What OS are you using?
