FAILURE: scripts/build linux:host has failed!

[fabiohpa]

Hi! I need some help, please. I'm a beginner and when I try to build the project I have the error return below:

He had executed this command: PROJECT=Amlogic ARCH=arm DISTRO=EmuELEC make image

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 on a VM.

Tks.

Looks like your toolchain is missing ccache,which should come by default I think.my first steps would be:

1. Just try it again,the build is not 100% threadsave,so perhaps another job didn't finish on time,especially during the first build attempt
2. Try to start building that package from scratch by running ./scripts/clean linux (perhaps try it with ccache instead of linux,too) and try it again

Edit: I guess you haven't changed the files yet,only cloned the repository?

[fabiohpa]

Hi coach88,

Initially, I cloned the repository then and changed just a few splash files for testing. In addition, I need to increase the size of the vm due to lack of space. Move the director "EmuELEC" to this new partition and run the command again to build the project.

I will follow the steps you suggested.

Tks

Hi,

I clone the project again and did the build again but now I had the error below:

Would there be anything else to be done?

You need to scroll back to see the real error

Tks shantigilbert, I'm posting part of the stack and I realized that the first mistake is in this part.

Looks like it has a problem with ssl (curl probably relies on it heavily).try cleaning the libssl package with the clean script.

[fabiohpa]

Ok. Do I need to execute just the command (./scripts/clean linux) or do I need to enter some other parameter?

I ask because I already executed the command ( (./scripts/clean linux) ) and tried to run again PROJECT = Amlogic ARCH = arm DISTRO = EmuELEC make image. I continue with the same error. :(

I realized that the version of cmake is cmake-3.14.5 and my Ubuntu system is in version 16.04. Do you believe that this may have something to do with the problem?

Tks again.

[coach1988]

Replace linux with ssl (or maybe libssl) and idk if it really matters,but add the PROJECT=Amlogic ARCH=arm DISTRO=EmuELEC,just in case.

Edit: and I don't think your hosts buildchain is that important,as it will download and use its own at some point,which shouldn't be too much of a problem (unless you're using gcc 10 like me,but Ubuntu definitely doesn't use that yet)

Edit2: and I'm not sure if moving the folder has something to do with it.if possible,start from scratch on the new partition

[fabiohpa]

I tried to run the commands with ssl and libssl and got the error return too.

I will try to do it from scratch one more time. I will delete the project, perform the clone again, change the image and build files.

Thank you for the patience. It will work at some point. :)

If you are running a VM any reason why not just update to Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS ? I am certain that the errors might be because your OS is a bit old.

Also make sure you follow the instructions exactly

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt-get install gcc make git unzip wget xz-utils libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libfreeimage-dev libfreetype6-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev rapidjson-dev libasound2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev build-essential libboost-all-dev cmake fonts-droid-fallback libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc-bin texinfo premake4 golang
git clone https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC.git EmuELEC    
cd EmuELEC  
git checkout master  

you can also check out the dev branch.

A previous version had been installed due to disk space. I had another project that didn't need a newer version of the distro.

About the commands.. They were the same ones that I executed.

At this point I am running the steps again, but without my change.

If it doesn't work I will try to upload the system version.

Tks

@fabiohpa Do you have enough storage space? Show me the your storage info.

$df -h

[fabiohpa]

Hi! I now have enough space. I created a new vm with 54gb of storage, installed version 18 of Ubuntu and did the build again.

It's been running for a few hours.

I believe it worked! :)

[fabiohpa]

Even creating a 54gb vm the process was not completed due to lack of space. After all how many gb do I need to build the system?

Edit: I ran the command $ df -h.

[fabiohpa]

Guys, I will close this topic I believe that the problem is another now. I am grateful to everyone who contributed.

Tks
