res/firmwares/res_fw.qrc ??????

I've been trying to build a new release for 3 hours now and I'm getting a warning. That the file was not found.
res/firmwares/res_fw.qrc

I think you need to compile the firmwares in the bldc repository, then run the package_firmware.py script to create the res_fw.qrc file.

Two weeks ago this was not necessary. It is very uncomfortable. transfer from PC to PC. Do I need to build all bin files?

Yes you need to build the firmwares. This has been necessary for the past 8 months or so, otherwise you would get missing and out of date firmwares. Only difference now is that I removed those old firmware from the repository.

This is a necessary approach as the git history would be huge if I updated every single firmware for all commits. That is why the package_firmware script can generate the resource-file too - no need for any manual editing when adding new hardwares.

Another approach is to comment out res_fw.qrc from the project file and build vesc tool without the included firmwares.

Hi where I can comment out that? there is not project file.
