Bug Page: Building the Code · PX4 Developer Guide

On OS X 10.14.1 but also on prior version of OS X, the instructions say to execute "make px4_sitl jmavsim", which does not work;

SeanOwensComputer:Firmware sean$ make px4_sitl jmavsim
Makefile:421: *** "px4_sitl cannot be the first argument. Use '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make help|list_config_targets' to get a list of all possible [configuration] targets.". Stop.
SeanOwensComputer:Firmware sean$

Executing "make posix jmavsim" does work, and brings up jmavsim as well as the px4 commander.

Executing "make list_config_targets" returns a list that does not include anything containing the string "jmavsim". There are a variety of targets that contain the string posix, but none of them are simply "posix".

@hamishwillee is this due to PX4/PX4-Autopilot#10875 ?

@seanrowens I'm closing this. The docs reflect, as they have always, the master build. That buggers things up when we have large user-facing changes. The solution is #676.

@mrpollo Yes.
@dagar Can I please have an ETA on work for version builds. This is coming up almost every day from someone.

FYI Daniel is away, but we hope to look into this next week (fitting in around Xmas)
