[BUG] <Configuring for Raspberry Pi Pico W failing due to missing 'olddefconfig'>

[Justin-Morrison-github]

Description / Steps to reproduce the issue

Hi, I am a Carleton InSpace Rocket Team member and have issues configuring NuttX for my Raspberry Pi Pico W. Carleton's master branch should be up to date with NuttX master.

I am able to run make distclean with no issue, but when I try to configure usbnsh for NuttX but get the error logs below. I am a new user of NuttX so any advice would be appreciated.

$ ./tools/configure.sh -l raspberrypi-pico-w:usbnsh

hi @Justin-Morrison-github it seems related to wrong path

apps/examples/hello_rust/Kconfig' not found (in 'source "/home/morri/InSpace/InSpace-Nuttx/apps/examples/hello_rust/Kconfig"'). Check that environment variables are set correctly (e.g. $srctree, which is unset or blank). Also note that unset environment variables expand to the empty string.
make: *** [tools/Unix.mk:731: menuconfig] Error 1

After this PR apache/nuttx-apps#2944 the path has changed

Have you tried updating the NuttX apps repository ?

[fdcavalcanti]

Run git clean -xfdn on your apps folder after you make distclean on nuttx.
See if there are pending files there.

Sorry I have been away for a while. I was up to date with the apps repo at the time. That was one of the first suggestions from my team lead.

I have run into another issue where make distclean on nuttx fails with the following:

$ make distclean
make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'clean'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [/home/morri/InSpace/InSpace-Nuttx/apps/Directory.mk:43: getprime/_clean] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:60: /home/morri/InSpace/InSpace-Nuttx/apps/testing/_clean] Error 2
make: *** [tools/Unix.mk:794: /home/morri/InSpace/InSpace-Nuttx/apps_clean] Error 2

Even though make distclean on nuttx fails, I still ran git clean -xfdn on apps and a lot of files came up. I'm sure how to interpret the following output:

Do you have any insight into what this means?

[fdcavalcanti]

Usually this happens when you change critical stuff without distcleaning first. Changing KConfig files in this condition could cause this kind of behavior. If you run git clean -xfd without n option it will delete all untracked files. Should work normally after that.

Hi @fdcavalcanti, I ran the git clean -xfd on the apps directory.

I then tried to configure fora Raspberry Pi Pico W with usbnsh and it failed with mention of an olddefconfig command

$ ./tools/configure.sh -l raspberrypi-pico-w:usbnsh

Let me know if you've ever seen something like this before.

[fdcavalcanti]

I've never had this: /usr/bin/bash: line 1: olddefconfig: command not found.

Are your apps and nuttx on master branch? Do the git clean trick on both and checkout to master.

If that fails, can you try a fresh clone of nuttx and nuttx-apps? It really seems like something is out-of-sync. If we figure this out, it would be possible to improve the build system to avoid this problem in the future.
