Target ‘Deploy’ does not exist ..?

[G40]

Using 4.1r1 and VS2012 Pro targeting a Beagle Bone using Windows hosted GCC downloaded via VGDB project wizard. Created a vanilla C++ project with target board connected via SSH. VS console output shown below. Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

Many thanks.

Hi,

The Deploy step is not needed or used for VisualGDB projects, somehow VS has set this option for the project. Please go to Build->Configuration Manager and remove the check from Deploy for this project.

Many thanks Ket.

Colour me impressed. Works right out of the box with an SSH connection to a Beaglebone. Super.

Hi, I also had the … “Deploy” target does not exist… issue. Easy fix, this post was helpful, thanks!
