Hi, I am very new to mangOH and legato based development, I have started off just a week ago. Existing system: 1. I have installed legato17-08.1 on my host (linux - ubuntu16.04 LTS) computer, used a zip, did not clone. 2. I have installed latest toolchain (Release 14) from [here](https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/legato/downloads/) 3. I have installed legato application developer studio version 5.2. 4. I have a mangOH Green board with me, it has a WP8548 chip on it and I have tested it with helloWorld program that I built and deployed on the device using legato application developer studio version 5.2. 5. I am aware of the process of running ‘bin/legs’ everytime I open a terminal for supporting commands related to legato. 6. I have set the environment variable LEGATO\_ROOT to the directory where I have installed legato-17.08.1 Problem statement: I have tried many examples (Latest being: [https://github.com/startwithsierra/utils-legato-mqtt](https://github.com/startwithsierra/utils-legato-mqtt)). But I can not build them. The error that I see in bash is: ``` Makefile:7: recipe for target 'wp85' failed make: *** [wp85] Error 1 ``` Can anyone help me understand what the issue is? ---

Can you follow the Getting Started instructions for mangOH Red: [http://mangoh.io/mangoh-red-resources-getting-started](http://mangoh.io/mangoh-red-resources-getting-started) the only difference is, you need to run: make green\_wp85 instead of make red\_wp85 Let us know if you see the same problem. ---

Hi, thanks for responding. The solution that you suggested does make sense, but I have already built the legato using ‘make clean’ and ‘make wp85’ commands when I installed legato. After I posted this question, I tried putting the example apps (received as .zip from git and then unzipped) in $LEGATO\_ROOT/bin/apps/sample/ and then make command (make wp85) worked as it should. Is that a constraint (Possibly due to some error I made while installation of legato) I am dealing with that I have to put the projects into the LEGATO\_ROOT/apps/sample/ or it has always been the way to do it? Thank you. ---

It’s a bit confusing, but you have to run `make wp85` from the legato folder first. Then you do `source bin/configlegatoenv` to put the legato build tools into your `$PATH`. Once you have done that, you either run `make red_wp85` or `make green_wp85` from the mangOH folder. This builds a legato system that includes the mangOH apps and drivers. ---

Hello, I have been a couple of days setting this up, I decided to get a clean install of Ubuntu and followed the tutorials since the precompiled image did not work for me. I have followed all instructions to the letter except last part of step 7 (l) in setting up legato since the module I’m using is a wp76. Now the problem is when running the make red\_wp76 after it builds it gives me this message: ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. Makefile.framework:147 recipe for target ‘liblegato’ failed make[2]: \*\*\* [liblegato] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory ‘/home/pedro/legato\_framework/legato’ Makefile:376: recipe for target ‘framework\_wp76xx’ failed make[1]: \*\*\* [framework\_wp76xx] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/pedro/legato\_framework/legato’ Makefile:34: recipe for target ‘legato\_wp76xx’ failed make: \*\*\* [legato\_wp76xx] Error 2 Any help on this would be appreciated, I don’t think I have missed anything in the tutorials so I don’t really know whats going wrong the board I have is the MangOH\_Red WP7607G. Thanks in advance. ---

I think you probably have an error message earlier in the output. ---

I’m also having problems with “makefile” when using a WP76 chip and the mangOH Green. I tried both “make wp76” and “make green\_wp76” but both don’t seem to work: "Bad configuration environment file path: /home/mangoh/workspace/leaf-data/wp76stable/wp76-legato/build/wp76/config.sh’ " Then I checked the path and saw that there were only the following folders: “tools” and “wp76xx” so I decided to run “make wp76xx” but this also doesn’t work. Can anyone give me a tip what I can do next? ![makefilerror](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/mangoh/original/2X/1/16b6c7e0d2d1842dcbfc09d1736ebfe53e81f258.png) ![makefilerror2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/mangoh/original/2X/2/26046794ecfe5dbf3931270f4f3d1ec31517072d.png) ![makefilerror3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/mangoh/original/2X/b/b3eff8002ef1e9d1eb00d63944fe93693f9aed37.png) ---

Does anyone know what the problem is?
