can't compile optiboot.c

Projects Programming
1

I am trying to compile optiboot.c for the Atmega1284p. Once I learn how to do it I want to make one small change to pins_defs.h and recompile.

I go into a DOS box with the source and type: make atmega1284
I get a half dozen lines pf progress reports and then the error message:

make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [optiboot.o] Error 2

Don't know where to go from here

Which IDE (version) are you using?

Arduino 1.0.5

also have Atmel Studio 6.1 installed

I also tried "mingw32-make" instead of "make" with same results

Two things...

  1. Are you using omake? According to the README.TXT that is what you are supposed to use under Windows.
  2. Have you obtained a fileset / make file, separate from the Arduino download, that has support for the 1284? There are no references to "1284" in the default fileset.

I am using the optiboot for Atmega1284 from maniacbug/mighty-1284p

oboot doesn't work but thanks to your hint I discovered that:

make OS=macosx ENV=arduino atmega1284

will compile
thank you,
