[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20080403)

[Arun Reddy]

Hi everyone.

I am able to successfully compile Buildroot and I end up with a resulting
file system image rootfs.i386.ext2 and a bzImage for the kernel. I want to
boot up my newly created kernel in VirtualBox, and I will need an .iso to do
that. So modified menuconfig to give me an .iso and typed make again.
Unfortunately I run into an error that states:

cp: cannot stat
'/root/buildroot/binaries/uclibc/i386-linux-2.6.24-20080403': No such file
or directory
make: *** [/root/buildroot/binaries/uclibc/rootfs.i386.iso] Error 1

I checked that folder and I see file named i386-linux-2.6.24-20080403, and
cannot understand why it is giving me this error. Can someone give me a
clearer indication to what this error is referring and how I can go about
fixing it?

Thank you in advance for your response!

[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Ma Andrew]

I think you can make a sym link like this on your /root/buildroot directory.
"ln -s ./project_build_i686//linux-2.6.24/arch/x86 x86" and see if it works for you.

Perhaps mail truncate part of the command...

"ln -s ./project_build_i686/\/linux-2.6.24/arch/x86 x86"

Thanks

[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Arun Reddy]

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I made a symbolic link to the x86
directory but I still don't find my rootfs.i386.iso file within
buildroot/binaries/$PROJECT.

I also didn't see any errors this time, but I piped the errors to error.log
and checked it, and still get the message that reads
i386-linux-2.6.24-20080403 cannot be found.

[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Ma Andrew]

Sorry I want to send the command but somehow hotmail doens't let me.  There is a missing part on the command that I suggest.  You can do a "find . -name bzImage -print" on "/root/buildroot" will show all the path that contain bzImage.  Only one contains the real file, all of them are just symbolic links.  I believe the script is trying to look for bzImage but it is a sym link point to somewhere it doesn't exists.

Perhaps, there may be a better way to solve it in "make menuconfig" instead of hacking it through sym link.

[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Arun Reddy]

Hi Andrew,

I found the actual bzImage (not the symbolic links) at:

/buildroot/project_build_i386/uclibc/linux-2.6-24/arch/x86/boot/bzImage

So I made a symbolic link to that bzImage and I can see it within
/buildroot/binaries/$PROJECT.

Unfortunately the .iso file is no where to be found after I compile.
Hopefully someone can give some feedback on this. Thanks again for your
suggestions Andrew!

[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Ma Andrew]

ok hope this one would help.

'ln -s project_build_i386/uclibc/linux-2.6-24/arch/x86 x86' in your buildroot.  It should at least let you pass through the error that you post on the email.

[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Arun Reddy]

Hi Andrew,

I just made the symbolic link by typing in

'ln -s project_build_i386/uclibc/linux-2.6-24/arch/x86 x86'

in the buildroot directory. I then compiled again and I was still presented
with the same error. I should point out that in the error.log, I am also
seeing:

+ echo '/root/buildroot/build_i386/genext2fs-1.4/genext2fs -b 67936 ' ' -N
1621 -d /root/buildroot/project_build_i386/uclibc/root ' ' -U -m 0
/root/buildroot/binaries/uclibc/rootfs.i386.ext2

right before the error displays that i386-linux-2.6.24-20080403 cannot be
found. (This has now changed to i386-linux-2.6.24-20080404 since it's April
4th in the time that buildroot is using).

Does this mean that I need to delete my rootfs.i386.ext2 and compile again
from scratch with .iso selected in order to get the .iso? I hope this isn't
the case since it took me a while to do the build. Thanks!

[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Ma Andrew]

ok this is what I get after I remove the link (and my project named zero)

cp /mnt/lab/buildroot/binaries/zero/i686-linux-2.6.24-20080404 /mnt/lab/buildroot/build_i686/iso9660/kernel
cp: cannot stat `/mnt/lab/buildroot/binaries/zero/i686-linux-2.6.24-20080404': No such file or directory

You may want to see what is /mnt/lab/buildroot/binaries/zero/i686-linux-2.6.24-20080404.  It turns out to be /mnt/lab/buildroot/binaries/zero/i686-linux-2.6.24-20080404 -> ../../x86/boot/bzImage

With ../../ , it will move you back to the buildroot .  In this case, I remove my symlink in the buildroot directory, the build process cannot complete due to broken link.

Now I put the link x86 in my buildroot directory, I am using/running the command (with the only change on the project name from uclibc to zero) that I show you on the buildroot directory.

I run the command that I gave you and I see the problem too. :(  It seems like there is a cut and paste typo in the command.
It should be 'ln -s project_build_i386/uclibc/linux-2.6.24/arch/x86 x86'  Fixing that 2.6-24 to 2.6.24

To double check, you can "ls -l x86" it should show you some directory content instead of a x86.

You can do a "find . -name bzImage -print" on "/root/buildroot" will show all the path that contain bzImage.  Only one contains the real file, all of them are just symbolic links.  I believe the script is trying to look for bzImage but it is a sym link point to somewhere it doesn't exists.

I want to boot up my newly created kernel in VirtualBox, and I will need an .iso to do that. So modified menuconfig to give me an .iso and typed make again.

I submitted a patch to fix this afaik (commit r21441). Are you using
latest svn?

[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Ma Andrew]

Hello Nigel,

I didn't have a chance to compile from a fresh checkout copy, and only do a "svn update" when I see your email.  The copy that I compiled is checked out from yesterday.  The revision that I am in is 21630.  I am still suffering from the same problem if the sym link is removed.

Thanks
--Andrew

Nuke all the files in the destination dir, if the symlink is there its
not going to copy over the dereferenced file in any case.

So nuke all the files, and rebuild.

[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Ma Andrew]

Thanks Nigel.  I checkout a new copy of buildroot:

Path: .
URL: svn://uclibc.org/trunk/buildroot
Repository Root: svn://uclibc.org
Repository UUID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Revision: 21636
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: jacmet
Last Changed Rev: 21636
Last Changed Date: 2008-04-04 07:16:06 -0700 

It turns out the problem that Arun mentioned is gone.  It compiles with "minimal skeleton target".  As a side note, there is a new problem on stage on mkisofs.

(hide out part of my directory information)
buildroot/build_i686/cdrtools-2.01/mkisofs/OBJ/i686-linux-cc/mkisofs: No such file or directory
make: *** [buildroot/binaries/uclibc/rootfs.i686.iso] Error 127

It seems the output directory is on "athlon-linux-cc" instead of "i686-linux-cc", which buildroot script is looking for.  I haven't got time to dig deep and see what goes wrong.  Simplest way to make a sym link for i686-linux-cc to athlon-linux-cc .

Thanks
--Andrew
