How can i build a example project?

[Jzone315]

Hi:
I am trying to rebuild a Caui4Core project using the ruckus.tcl inside the directory, and i am using the Vivado 2019.1.3 on Win10 systems, when the source the tcl file, it shows something error below:
ERROR: [Runs 36-335] 'D:/Ref_design/surf/surf/ethernet/Caui4Core/gtyUltraScale+/ip/Caui4GtyIpCore156MHz.dcp' is not a valid design checkpoint
so, did i do something wrong, how can i build a example project？
Thanks a lot.

I suspect that if you open your existing git clone of Caui4GtyIpCore156MHz.dcp that it's not a .dcp binary file but pointer to a github lfs database. The .dcp files in surf firmware library are stored as "git-lfs". We recommend to do a "git-lfs install" before cloning the repos:

After doing git-lfs install you will either need to make a fresh new clone or git lfs pull

The "git-lfs" i think is using on the linux machine, but since i only have a windows machine, so is there any way that i can clone and rebuild the example design.
Thanks.

I have done it on Windows before in the past via two methods:

1. TortoiseGit
   After doing all the steps of setting up TortoiseGit, then download and install the git-lfs-windows-1.X.X.exe. After that open Git Bash and execute this command:

$ git lfs install
> Git LFS initialized.

2. Window Subsystem for Linux (WSL):

I wrote those instructions awhile ago when WSL was still beta, which is not the case anymore. And in the future WSL2 will be the successor to WSL:
