Building a bootable SD card image: fails by missing programms

[waterwin]

sudo sh scripts/image.sh scripts/debian.sh red-pitaya-debian-11.3-armhf.img 1024 fails

missing are:

parted
losetup
mkfs.vfat
mkfs.ext4
debootstrap
depmod
zerofree

They are not in the list of pre-reqs From Pre-requirements

sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install \
  bc binfmt-support bison build-essential ca-certificates curl \
  debootstrap device-tree-compiler dosfstools flex fontconfig git \
  libgtk-3-0 libncurses-dev libssl-dev libtinfo5 parted qemu-user-static \
  squashfs-tools sudo u-boot-tools x11-utils xvfb zerofree zip

They are partially in a list from Issue #1043 that also overlaps incompletely with the Pre-req list and from which lib32ncurses5 is not found in the Debian Repo

sudo apt-get install \
  build-essential bison flex git curl ca-certificates sudo \
  xvfb fontconfig libxrender1 libxtst6 libxi6 lib32ncurses5 \
  bc u-boot-tools device-tree-compiler libncurses5-dev \
  libssl-dev qemu-user-static binfmt-support zip \
  squashfs-tools dosfstools parted debootstrap zerofree

My environment : Debian 11.6 with GUI instead of the Debian 11.3 from the mini.iso (I doubt that explains it) in VirtualBox on Windows 10

I will run the list from the Issue and retry, when needed after installing other missing parts manually

Solution found : add /sbin to PATH export PATH=$PATH:/sbin parted, losetup and the other 5 missing programs are in /sbin which was not in my PATH, nor in PATH of root-user

A small other comment : you can not run a command to install sudo with the command sudo ... First install sudo by itself as su

you can not run a command to install sudo with the command sudo

Thanks. I have updated the notes and removed sudo from the apt-get commands.

libtinfo5 needs to be installed before Vitis will install, this is a known Vitis issue, if not it will hang indefinitely on the action " Generating installed device list" So this pre-req is in fact for the page before : Setup Development Machine /  Installing Vitis Core Development Kit

Which was not in my case as I did not use your installation script that has this being installed when setting up Debian ...

Thanks Pavel, as always. Erwin PE3ES / F4VTQ

All these packages are installed by the debian.seed script used to automatically create a virtual machine in the Development Machine notes.
