make command not found

[jjclay]

Nevermind - I'm able to run the commands in the Makefile. Thank you!

I installed makefile tools from here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.makefile-tools but I can't get past the very first step after downloading the repo because the "make" command is not recognized:

It appears under extensions but I must have something wrong in the configuration.

Thank you!

And when I try the first individual command:

PS C:\Users\Trader\Google Drive\ALL GITHUB REPOS\Generative_Gif_Engine-main> python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow && pip3 install -r requirements.txt
At line:1 char:41

• python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow && pip3 install -r requiremen ...

•                                     ~~
  

The token '&&' is not a valid statement separator in this version.

Hi there so makefile is not a vscode thing but a computer alias tool https://pakstech.com/blog/make-windows/#:~:text=make%20%3A%20The%20term%20'make',choose%20Path%20and%20click%20Edit

Also looks like whatever Terminal you're using doesn't like &&, try copy each part separately.

python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
pip3 install -r requirements...

python3 might not work on Windows either, try python or py

I have a action item for myself to improve Windows development, the issue is that each Windows computer is configured differently so sorry for the issues!

[jjclay]

Thanks so much for the reply! I'm giving it a try by typing in the commands by hand from the Makefile. I'll try to get 'make' to work later on because it's kind of a pain copying and pasting over and over again. Getting a feel for how the different layer configurations work. Love it so far!

Great glad you got it working at least with individual copy and pasting. Do you know of any good alias commands for Windows besides make? I could have different commands for Windows vs Mac

[jjclay]

I found a way to alias your commands! I followed the instructions here: https://seankilleen.com/2020/04/how-to-create-a-powershell-alias-with-parameters/ and ended up with a powershell profile being created but it wouldn't let me execute it. It had to do with ExecutionPolicy which I read about here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies?view=powershell-7.2. I changed it for currentUser to unrestricted (of course they warn you about it allowing malicious scripts to run, but we know that your script is OK). You can do it at the command line for the current session, but if you add it to your profile (or create a new one which it did for me since apparently I didn't have one yet) it will be there for every new terminal session that you open. I closed Visual Studio and reopened and it still works! I tried to attach the profile file but it blocked me for security reasons. Here's what I added once it created my profile: function step1() { python3 step1_layers_to_spritesheet/build.py } Then I just run 'step1' in Visual Studio (powershell).

That's awesome!!! Do you want to add this to the README under Installation? Let me know and I can add you as a collaborator.

[jjclay]

Sure. Give me a bit of time to document it properly so the instructions are easy to follow. I'll let you know when I have something completed.
