Re: [coreboot] Coreboot is failing to build

[Ali H. Fardan]

I actually worked around it, it was some MITM proxy that
decompresses the gzipped tarball, for some reason,  that
didn't happen why I tried fetching  libelf  tarball from
https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/libreboot.org/release/20150518/crossgcc/libelf-0.8.13.tar.gz
but anyway, I was able to build coreboot and I flashed it
but it seems that I bricked the board, it showed multiple
flash chips and I had to choose, so I picked the first one
and everything went alright until I rebooted. I am going
to flash it externally now, any tips so I don't screw up
this time?

Exactly what I did. Decompressed it manually with tar -xf, to see what
will happen (works seamlessly). Could be done with -xvf (v in the
middle: verbose, for debug traces).

I would warmly suggest to everyone to use the latest distros, with
most recent upgrades. Since these are tested, mostly, and they have
latest and greatest features enhanced, and added.

Here is what I have after last upgrade of my Fedora 24 VM on my HP
UltraBook WIN10 laptop half an hour ago (following Martin's Roth
advice):

[zoran@localhost libelf]$ uname -r

Re: [coreboot] Coreboot is failing to build

[Marshall Dawson]

Hi Ali,

My builds are also OK (Ubuntu and W7).

I would double-check the sha1sum of your libelf package and make sure it
matches util/crossgcc/sum/libelf-0.8.13.tar.gz.cksum.  To be honest,
though, I suspect it may be correct since you've probably tried multiple
times.

The other thought that comes to mind is there was a patch that went in near
the end of March that added the capability of using multithreaded
decompressors.  You might try modifying the flags in crossgcc/buildgcc.
This also seems unlikely, as it looks like "tar zxf
tarballs/libelf-0.8.13.tar.gz" is used.  I'm with Zoran; see if you can
decompress manually.  It looks like he suggested a different option style,
too.

When was the last time you built the tools successfully?

Thanks,
Marshall

What about the following command: *$ tar -xf libelf-0.8.13.tar.gz *?
($ uname -a -> Linux localhost.localdomain *4.6.5-300.fc24.x86_64*)

downloading it manually and putting it in the tarballs folder.

If that's not what's happening, it's probably something in your 
environment:

- What shell is being used? ls -al /bin/sh; /bin/sh --version
- What version of tar is getting run? tar --version
- If you're running a less widely used OS or Distro, what are you 
running?


Try running the buildgcc command directly with -x enabled and see
what's actually getting run for the tar command:
/bin/sh -x util/crossgcc/buildgcc

Re: [coreboot] Coreboot is failing to build

[Martin Roth]

Hi Ali,
  The build script seems to be working for me, so it might be your
network connection or your environment.  Currently we don't run the
checksum routine again after downloading the file.  We probably need
to do that.

My first thought is that it didn't download correctly for some reason.
If you try to build again, does it try to download the libelf tarball
again?  If so, it didn't get properly downloaded.  You might try
downloading it manually and putting it in the tarballs folder.

If that's not what's happening, it's probably something in your environment:
- What shell is being used? ls -al /bin/sh; /bin/sh --version
- What version of tar is getting run? tar --version
- If you're running a less widely used OS or Distro, what are you running?

Try running the buildgcc command directly with -x enabled and see

/bin/sh -x util/crossgcc/buildgcc

[coreboot] Coreboot is failing to build

[Ali H. Fardan]

Greetings,

Coreboot is failing to build after running 'make crossgcc'
this error occured when building libreboot too, could any-
one figure it out? Might be that the mirror of libelf is
outdated.
