Hi, I have run into an issue whilst building a project in PROS 3.3.1. When running prosV5 make I get the following error:

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `if test 0 -eq 1; then printf "%s\n" "echo 'char const * const _PROS_COMPILE_TIMESTAMP = __DATE__ " " __TIME__; char const * const _PROS_COMPILE_DIRECTORY = "tons/APS/01-11-2020(a)";' | intercept-cc -c -x c -mcpu=cortex-a9 -mfpu=neon-fp16 -mfloat-abi=softfp -Os -g -D_POSIX_THREADS -D_UNIX98_THREAD_MUTEX_ATTRIBUTES  -Wno-psabi -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fdiagnostics-color -funwind-tables --std=gnu11  -o ./bin/_pros_ld_timestamp.o -"; fi;'
make: *** [common.mk:238: bin/hot.package.elf] Error 1
Error: Failed to build

I have tried creating a new project and pasting in the code but this failed. Any help would be appreciated!

Did you try and create a brand new project without pasting your code into it and seeing if that compiles. this would help determine if this is a problem with your pros application/download/computer/tool path or the likes or if this is something relating to your code. I am not a pros error expert but some more troubleshooting couldn’t hurt.

Your directory path has a ( and a ) in it, which is messing with bash. Try renaming it. You’ll also have issues with spaces in the path.

Do you mean that my path has the string ‘&a’ in it and this is causing the errors?

No, your path has parentheses.

Is atleast some of the path to the project right? This part of it

(a)

is causing issues, as we don’t escape paths, and bash thinks it’s a command to it.

Ok, thanks very much, I’ll try tomorrow.
