I wanted to keep going, so checked out the last revision before zstd was introduced, r45018, October 2016. Running the pristine T2, booting off a USB stick (installed from the t2 iso that I downloaded from t2-project.org), "generic" target, minimal xorg with desktop, x86_64, just accepting most defaults. # ./scripts/Build-Target -cfg generic Failed early in stage 0, automake failed. Same reason that "dan" reported in 2015: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03101.html Dan never got a reply, I wonder if he fixed it? I installed xz package and updated to automake-1.15 out of latest t2 checkout, got same error. This is interesting, I never hit this error before. So I booted up my Quirky Linux 8.0, which is basically a Puppy built with Ubuntu 16.04 DEBs, and ran the above Build-Target ...off she went, automake built successfully, surging ahead right now. So much for running a pristine T2!
