How do I get the most recent mpy-cross?

[davefes]

In my clone of micropython
git pull

Already up to date.

cd mpy-cross
    make clean
    make
    
    mpy-cross --version
    
MicroPython v1.20.0 on 2023-05-02; mpy-cross emitting mpy v6.1

Should it not be v1.27.0 ... emitting mpy v6.3

I did a git pull in my local mpy-cross directory and it said:
Already up to date.

What am I not doing correctly?

When you build it, the binary is created inside locally as ./build/mpy-cross

The copy you're running that's registered on the path will have been installed a different way, you might be able to find where it is by running which mpy-cross

Taking a guess, your installed copy might be from the pip package, if so you could pip install -U mpy-cross

It appears to be here:

dave@davef:~/.local/bin$ mpy-cross --version
MicroPython v1.20.0 on 2023-05-02; mpy-cross emitting mpy v6.1

I originally cloned the source following some guide probably years ago. I appear to be keeping the micropython source up to date, as when I build a firmware with frozen modules it says v1.28.

Maybe I should do a clean install using the latest Get started, just in case I want to try making some .mpy files.
