No rule to make target 'build/WIPY/release/frozen_mpy/frozen/Base/_boot.mpy', needed by 'build/WIPY/release/frozen_mpy.c'. Stop.

Hello. I am trying to build firmware from source and make TARGET=app does not compile with following error. Hopefully it's something silly due to my unfamiliarity with the environment. There is no additional Python code in frozen.

...
CC ../py/../extmod/uos_dupterm.c
CC ../py/../lib/embed/abort_.c
CC ../py/../lib/utils/printf.c
make: *** No rule to make target 'build/WIPY/release/frozen_mpy/frozen/Base/_boot.mpy', needed by 'build/WIPY/release/frozen_mpy.c'.  Stop.

I have followed these instructions to setup the build environment on Windows 10:

1. https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/
   I am able to build vanilla esp-idf hello_world example.

2. https://github.com/pycom/pycom-micropython-sigfox
   I did not download the listed xtensa gcc compiler since one already exists from step 1.

So removing esp32/frozen folder gets further:

I guess I will look through py/mkrules.mk now.

Ok, this works. That was simple.

Hi, I am facing the same issue now. But not quite understand how you solve this, could you please elaborate more on this? Thanks
