Build problems #86

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Extract-ng to extract firmware. No erros!
2. Made some changes on rootfs in fmk folder. Leaving smaller file sizes and 
consequently the whole folder.
3. Build-ng or Build-ng -nopad

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected new_firmware.bin.

This message is showed in two commands.

ERROR: New firmware image will be larger than original image!
       Building firmware images larger than the original can brick your
device!
       Try re-running with the -min option, or remove any unnecessary
files from the file system.
       Refusing to create new firmware image.

       Original file size: 3968818
       Current file size:  3968818

       Quitting...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Use 0.78, the last in SVN link. Did the system installation tutorial at the 
site. I use CentOS 5.8 update at yesterday.

Please provide any additional information below.

The only way you can get this message, when the original size equals the 
current size, is if extract-ng.sh detected a footer after the rootfs.img. So 
I'm guessing you have a footer.

If you provide a sample of the firmware, or let us know what the firmware is, 
then perhaps someone can take a closer look.
