Crowsnest install failing with 'make: *** [Makefile:19: install] Error 1' | Mainsail | Page 1

I'm running Klipper on an Ubuntu VM (WSL) and can't seem to get Crowsnest to install. Every time I try, this happens:


        Ahoy!
        Thank you for installing crowsnest ;)
        This will take a while ...
        Please reboot after the installation has finished.

Running apt-get update first ...

Anyone have a clue what's happening here?

That no error appears seems pretty weird

#

Send the output of following commands:

ls ~
ls /home
ls ~/crowsnest/tools/libs
ls ~/crowsnest/tools

clear jetty Send the output of following commands: ```sh ls ~ ls /home ls ~/crowsnest/tools/...

heres a picture in case the text colors are important

Seems like it fails to create the symlink

#

Try that command```sh
ln -sf ~/crowsnest/tools/libs/pkglist-rpi.sh ~/crowsnest/tools/pkglist.sh

Ran that and pkglist.sh showed up, install failed again though with the same error

clear jetty May 3, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

Is the pkglist still there?

untold rune May 3, 2024, 8:41 PM

#

yes

@clear jetty any other ideas as to what’s causing this? i can’t find anything online and i’m starting to give up on getting my webcam working

clear jetty May 3, 2024, 11:01 PM

#

Why exactly do you want your camera to run in a WSL?

untold rune May 3, 2024, 11:02 PM

#

i want to be able to view it from obico

#

i do a lot of printing when not at home and checking up on stuff is nice

clear jetty May 3, 2024, 11:02 PM

#

You can add a small "debug output" to the install.sh, to see if it's failing at that symlink creation or the sourcing, but overall it's basically out of the scope of Crowsnest to support WSL

untold rune May 3, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

ah gotcha

clear jetty May 3, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

untold rune i want to be able to view it from obico

And that's why you need it inside WSL?

#

You got a Klipper host, right?

#

That Klipper host isn't your WSL, is it?

untold rune May 3, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

klipper is running on my WSL

#

i had a functioning old laptop and didn’t want to buy a pi

clear jetty May 3, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

I recommend running Linux directly on the Laptop ^^

#

For the "debug output" I mentioned, you just need to edit the install.sh and add e.g. msg "\ntest\n" on line 92: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/crowsnest/blob/master/tools/install.sh#L92

#

Then you can see if it's failing at the symlink generation or after

#

If it's failing at the symlink generation, you could just comment out line 90 with a # in front of the line
