What am I doing wrong?

What did you do to correct this Brandon? I have the same fault.

Hi @Mechotronic,

I'm at work and not 100% sure off hand, but I think this was happening because I cloned betaflight to a subdirectory in my user directory, when it should be in the root of your user folder.

Hope that helps!

@Mechotronic,

I ran into the same issue. The fix was making sure you are inside the betaflight repository directory when you run the docker command.

$ pwd
/home/<user name>/betaflight
$ docker run --rm -ti -v `pwd`:/opt/betaflight betaflight/betaflight-build

[Mechotronic]

Thanks guys. I'll try that.

Trying to build a custom hex for betaflightf3 with gps support (disabling dshot to make it fit)

PS C:\Users\Daniel> cd betaflight
PS C:\Users\Daniel\betaflight> docker run --rm -ti -v pwd:/opt/betaflight betaflight/betaflight-build
make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop.

Hi Daniel, (& anyone else finding this page looking for a fix) - On windows I found it best to make the path with double quotes
"C:\Users\\betaflight"
Hope this helps :)
