My First Flash = MakeFile Directory Error

I just got my pod and started setting things up
I followed this video:

Setup:
Brand New Pod. Set in Programing mode
The USB Cable is a programming cable
Windows 11 Laptop.
Pure Data
Tool Chain
Python
PD2Daisy

When I try to upload the Blink Program from the Youtube video, I get This Error:
Makefile:22: Files/Daisypd2dsyGUI/data/libdaisy/core/Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target ‘Files/Daisypd2dsyGUI/data/libdaisy/core/Makefile’. Stop.

I can see Makefile in C:\Program Files\Daisypd2dsyGUI\data\libdaisy\core

Let me know if there’s anything else I can add. I searched the forum but couldn’t find a similar issue (I’m far from the best searcher :slight_smile: )

What if you use plugdata ?

It looks like the space in “Program Files” in the path is the issue - the path it is complaining about is everything after the space. Not familiar enough with the Windows 11 build chain myself to help figure out why or how to fix this but I hope this helps.

Woohoo that did it!
I moved the Daisypd2dsyGUI folder under C:\ and everything worked fine
I need to read those error messages a little closer…
Is there a way to modify (I’m assuming Make) to recognize spaces in path strings?

I think that the syntax for escaping the white space in the Makefile will be platform specific (it’s been a long while since I dealt with cross platform Makefiles…) As I say, I’m not a windoze person, so perhaps someone else will chime in?
Glad you got it working…
