Build error on Ubuntu 21.04

[copyvar]

I need some help to build heads. I installed all packages mentioned in line 13 https://github.com/osresearch/heads/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml

I am stuck after hours of research in the web. Anyone got an idea?

Please try the change from merge/pull request https://github.com/osresearch/heads/pull/1035.

[paulmenzel]

(Also, please update your original issue report, and format the paste as a code block.)

Please try the change from merge/pull request #1035.

Thank you, that helped. Now I got stuck at another point (should I open a new issue for that?):

@tlaurion @paulmenzel I manually changed all files which are different from the main repo in https://github.com/tlaurion/heads/commit/60e908ec2794ae44cd0afa0fcdd15f46af3e2440 . Still I am not able to build heads due to the IASL error. Most probably I made a mistake while manually editing the files. Please tell me how to apply the patches via command line. What is the next step after git clone https://github.com/osresearch/heads ? (I am new to the build process. I tried to research how to apply patches from different repos.)

[tlaurion]

@copyvar I will rebase #1038 on master, which will build coreboot 4.13 and 4.11 based boards including xx30 and xx20 boards (x230 is a xx30 board, which #1015 is ready to merge).

It is still impossible with current patches to build coreboot 4.8.1 based boards on recent OSes build toolstack, unfortunately, which #1038 PR is attempting to resolve the current raised issue.

I do not want to sound rude, but is there a chance, that I can build heads soon or is there any other opportunity for a workaround?

@copyvar : You can test PR https://github.com/osresearch/heads/pull/1038 which had been built correctly over CircleCI to build 4.11 and 4.13 (and coreboot 4.14, over Ubuntu 21.04).

You can use gh as pointed out from GitHub, or git remote add tlaurion https://github.com/tlaurion/heads and then checkout the proper branch through git checkout tlaurion/CircleCI_Ubuntu_2104 and build the desired board normally through make BOARD=x230-hotp-maximized.

[copyvar]

Thank you! When I do git checkout tlaurion/CircleCI_Ubuntu_2104 the following error appears: error: pathspec 'tlaurion/CircleCI_Ubuntu_2104' did not match any file(s) known to git What am I doing wrong?

[tlaurion]

git fetch tlaurion was the missing intermediate step. Sorry about that.

It ran for an hour then following message came up:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target '../../blobs/xx30/me.bin', needed by 'add_intel_firmware'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/test/heads/build/coreboot-4.13'

[tlaurion]

@copyvar this is because you never followed instructions written under board configurstion nor circleci configuration because still undocumented. You need to run blobs/xx30/download_clean_me.sh prior of build to have blobs downloaded. ME blob is not redistributable, but this script permits to download it from Lenovo website and neuter it. You can also read the README file in that directory and the board configuration for more explanations.

Thanks a lot for your effort!
