I'm using a forked version of Buildroot for my OS called ExpidusOS (https://github.com/ExpidusOS). After SDDM is installed, Make fails to create the `.stamp_target_installed` file. Then it works at xfont_font-misc-misc package but fails when installing Linux. This is the output: >>> xapp_xkbcomp 1.4.2 Installing to target PATH="/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/host/bin:/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/host/sbin:/home/ross/Applications/.bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/emscripten:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/home/ross/.gem/ruby/2.6.0/bin:/opt/toolchains/dc/sh-elf/bin:/opt/toolchains/dc/bin:/opt/toolchains/dc/kos/utils/gnu_wrappers:/home/ross/.gem/ruby/2.6.0/bin:/opt/toolchains/dc/sh-elf/bin:/opt/toolchains/dc/bin:/opt/toolchains/dc/kos/utils/gnu_wrappers" /usr/bin/make -j5 DESTDIR=/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/target install -C /home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2/ make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2' Making install in man make[2]: Entering directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2/man' make[3]: Entering directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2/man' make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'. /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/target/usr/share/man/man1' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 xkbcomp.1 '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/target/usr/share/man/man1' make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2/man' make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2/man' make[2]: Entering directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2' make[3]: Entering directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2' /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/target/usr/bin' /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/target/usr/lib/pkgconfig' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 xkbcomp.pc '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/target/usr/lib/pkgconfig' /usr/bin/install -c xkbcomp '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/target/usr/bin' make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2' make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2' make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2' xapp_xkbcomp: installs files in /home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/target//home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output make: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:360: /home/ross/ExpidusOS/buildroot/output/build/xapp_xkbcomp-1.4.2/.stamp_target_installed] Error 1
> I'm using a forked version of Buildroot We can't be responsible for all the forks around there, that's not sustainable. If you can provide a defconfig that exhibits the issue with the official Buildroot, please re-open this bug and provide your defconfig.
I haven't changed much in my fork besides adding packages, updating startup-notification, changing some defaults like the init system and libc, and changing the os-release file. This bug occurs on the pc_x86_64_bios_defconfig.
> This bug occurs on the pc_x86_64_bios_defconfig pc_x86_64_bios_defconfig does not have xapp_xkbcomp enabled, so I can't reproduce your failure. > I haven't changed much in my fork besides adding packages, > updating startup-notification, changing some defaults like > the init system and libc That's already a lot of changes! :-/ Please, try to reproduce on the upstream Buildroot, and provide us with a defconfig that exhibits the problem, or we won't be able to reproduce and help. If it does not fail on upstream buildroot, then it's a change in your fork that causes the issue.
The problem exists in the package/pkg-generic.mk file at line 360. I'm using the commit https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=88f79481878c7adf9642e208c72dea7fe367bee8, look at the commit history for the file I mentioned and I haven't changed it so this is an upstream issue.
https://gist.github.com/RossComputerGuy/4d023304f3a33eeb02cc1a04a9d4e5bc I uploaded the config file as a gist, try it and you'll see that my issue occurs.
> https://gist.github.com/RossComputerGuy/4d023304f3a33eeb02cc1a04a9d4e5bc As I expected, that config file builds perfectly well in upstream Buildroot. > try it and you'll see that my issue occurs. I am sorry, but you have still failed to provide a way to reproduce your issue on upstream Buildroot, and thus I am no longer going to spend any time on this build report. Please, please, try on *your* side to reproduce with upstream Buildroot. If you can't reproduce, it is a problem with the changes you did in your fork. Note that if you want to help update some components versions, you can send patches to that effect, and we can then help iron out the issues on the patches.
I got this issue again and it happened when I enabled switch_root in util-linux
