'makeInstancesUFO: command not found' when trying to build the font

[nawordar]

I try to build the font using Ubuntu on WSL, but I encounter the problem in the title.

What I've done

I have installed afdko and fonttools using pip3 install afdko fonttools and ran the ./buildInstances.sh command which resulted in:

cdrozak@DESKTOP-FQHI27R:/mnt/c/Users/cdrozak/Projects/Hasklig$ ./buildInstances.sh
./buildInstances.sh: line 1: makeInstancesUFO: command not found
./buildInstances.sh: line 2: makeInstancesUFO: command not found

When I changed makeInstancesUFO to lowercase, I got the following response:

cdrozak@DESKTOP-FQHI27R:/mnt/c/Users/cdrozak/Projects/Hasklig$ ./buildInstances.sh
ERROR:afdko.makeinstancesufo:No axes defined
ERROR:afdko.makeinstancesufo:No axes defined

Did you manage to resolve the issue? I am getting the same error...

[nawordar]

No, I gave up with building the font.

Was going to contribute to the font, but this issue is stopping me

Me too has the same problem:

Compiling source in /XXX/portage/media-fonts/hasklig-1.1_p20180916/work/hasklig-1.1_p20180916 ...

The No axes defined issue is the result of the repo using an outdated DesignSpaceDocument Specification. As part of my PR to fix #123, I updated those files, based on the upstream Source Code Pro design space files.

Sorry to hear you had trouble @olligobber , @nawordar ,@sirgru and @sedimentation-fault . This project has been on the back burner for a while and I haven't really kept up with any issues.

The main branch should now be up to date and working with the latest AFDKO / fonttools.
