RobotPy Setup Error

[frankthelyon]

Hello, my team has been trying to set up RobotPy for our 2013 robot, and we are running into some issues. Everything in the setup goes fine, but when we reach Step 5 in the README (the "make dist" command) we get this error:

make: built targets of C:/Users/Frankie Lyon/Documents/GitHub/robotpy/Packages/s
ip
make[2]: Leaving directory `C:/Users/Frankie Lyon/Documents/GitHub/robotpy/Packa

make -C nivision
make[2]: Entering directory `C:/Users/Frankie Lyon/Documents/GitHub/robotpy/Pack
ages/nivision'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `sip_nivisionCharSet.o', needed by `_nivisio
n.out'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `C:/Users/Frankie Lyon/Documents/GitHub/robotpy/Packa

make[1]: *** [nivision] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/Users/Frankie Lyon/Documents/GitHub/robotpy/Packa

make: *** [Packages] Error 2

We are pretty stumped by this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Did you run the sip_all.bat file? It will generate a bunch of c/c++ files and place them in the nivision directory (among other places). You need to install SIP correctly to do this. Also, until yesterday, RobotPy was not compiling correctly for 2013.

Another alternative is just download the 2013.1 release (which was released yesterday) and use the precompiled binaries instead, available at FirstForge (http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/projects/robotpy).
