Just joined this list and I’m trying to play with RIOT for the first time on MacOS. I'm not having luck with the quickstart guide.
First of all, i think the 2nd and 3rd steps are reversed. It seems you should cd into RIOT before doing a checkout of release.
And is this checkout step even needed? i assume latest master is correct, since there’s no hint anywhere what the LATEST_RELEASE would be.
Past that, when I run tapsetup, I first get a password prompt (I assume it needs to do sudo-ish things). And then the only thing it spits out is this:
./dist/tools/tapsetup/tapsetup creating bridge0 Password: ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: File exists
I’m not clear if that’s fatal or just a warning? Do I need to fix something here before I continue?
Finally, when I make all; make term, I get some warnings. The one that worries me most is:
/Users/travisg/Downloads/RIOT/cpu/Makefile.include.gnu:14: objcopy not found. Hex file will not be created.
Is that bad? Or is that OK because I’m running locally?
Anyway, right after that I get the following error:
/Users/travisg/Downloads/RIOT/examples/default/bin/native/default.elf: open(/dev/tap0): No such file or directory
This leads me to believe that there was indeed fatal problems with the tapsetup script. But I really don’t know. Any hints/pointers?
