CMD Stan make error mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target 'examples/bernoulli/bernoulli'. Stop

I followed the cmdstan guide and installed cmdstan on a Windows Server 2016 Datacenter with 64 Bit. After installing, I ran the example with “mingw32-make examples/bernoulli/bernoulli” and it tells me “mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target ‘built’. Stop.”.

I tried it with both rtools 4.0 and rtools 3.5, I get the same message. I also found some posts in the forum, but none of the proposed solution helped me to make it work.

  • CmdStan Version: Latest (Cloned from Github)

did it really say 'built"? not sure where that’s coming from?

> make build
> make examples/bernoulli/bernoulli

Ah sorry, this is because I ran both wingm32-make built and mingw32-make examples/bernoulli/bernoulli.

In both cases, I get the No rule to make target error.

are you running these commands from the cmdstan directory?
it sounds like it’s not finding the Makefile

5

are you running these commands from the cmdstan directory?

Yes, I am. I went there with cd cmdstan

Its

mingw32-make build
mingw32-make examples/bernoulli/bernoulli.exe

Note the .exe.

yields

what happens when you try:

g++ -v

There is nothing wrong with this g++ call. Are there any subsequent g++ calls after the one you list?

11

No, that`s it.

This happens after this command:

curl -L https://github.com/stan-dev/stanc3/releases/download/nightly/windows-stanc -o bin/stanc.exe --retry 5 --retry-delay 10
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, curl -L https://github.com/stan-dev/stanc3/releases/download/nightly/windows-stanc -o bin/stanc.exe --retry 5 --retry-delay 10, …) failed.
make (e=2): Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
make/stanc:69: recipe for target ‘bin/stanc.exe’ failed
mingw32-make: *** [bin/stanc.exe] Error 2

Oh, ok, that does say more. Windows 2016 does not seem to come with curl. The cloned Github version requires curl to download the stan compiler.

There are two solutions here:

If there is no specific reason you need the cloned version, I would go with the first option.

That’s great to know, thanks a lot. I will give it a try when I am back at the computer.
