Problem forking ZAP from github

[AIY 0]

Hey Guys

 

I'm having trouble forking the ZAP directory from Github, I get stuck at 77% and can't get any further. I wanted to run ZAP on my Mac and couldn't find a package to install from.

 

Any Help?

I cloned the ZAP directory from Github using the zip function and compiled it from the build directory.

The app compiles without errors. When I then try to compile the Retrocade sketch (without any modifications) I run into the following problem

Found smallfs directory/Users/dj_mib/Downloads/ZAP--ZPUino-Arduino-Papilio--IDE-master/build/macosx/work/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/zpu/bin/mksmallfs /var/folders/pz/hdpbpx7d3099q3t5xyq8qsp40000gn/T/build275270339656441873.tmp/smallfs.dat /Users/dj_mib/Documents/Sinistra/RetroCade_Synth/RetroCade_Sketch/smallfs processing.app.debug.RunnerException: Cannot run program "/Users/dj_mib/Downloads/ZAP--ZPUino-Arduino-Papilio--IDE-master/build/macosx/work/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/zpu/bin/mksmallfs": error=2, No such file or directory	at processing.app.debug.Compiler.generateSmallFS(Compiler.java:75)	at processing.app.debug.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:106)	at processing.app.Sketch.build(Sketch.java:1572)	at processing.app.Sketch.build(Sketch.java:1551)	at processing.app.Editor$DefaultRunHandler.run(Editor.java:1937)	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680)

So there seems to be some issue with the small FS lib.

 

Any ideas?

Looks like that file must be missing for OSX, we need to talk to Alvie about adding it.

Yes, looks like mksmallfs is missing.

 

AYI: Can you drop me an email so we can fix this issue without disturbing the forum too much ?

Was this fixed? I just ran into the same problem - built ZAP on OS X but got no mksmallfs

Grab it from here:

 

http://alvie.com/zpuino/downloads/mac/mksmallfs

 

Place it inside "Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/zpu/bin/"

you might need to make it executable for it to work.
