Could the latest code be built to x86 vmware image?

I tried to do this by using image_to_vmware.sh, but got the following error.

... ...
Postinst running
Set boot target to /dev/sda3: Partition 3, Slot A
Updating /boot/extlinux.conf target
Updating grub target for EFI BIOS
.: 10: Can't open /usr/lib/shflags

and when I copy shflags from ($chroot)/build/x86-generic/usr/lib to /usr/lib and run the script again
I got this error message:

Set boot target to /dev/sda3: Partition 3, Slot A
Updating /boot/extlinux.conf target
Updating grub target for EFI BIOS
/tmp/tmp.54HJw8nBKU/usr/sbin/chromeos-setimage: 14: rootdev: not found
/tmp/tmp.54HJw8nBKU/usr/sbin/chromeos-setimage: 16: 1: parameter not set
mount: special device /dev/sda12 does not exist

The source code I used is updated on May. 26, 2010.

Did anybody do this successfully?

While trying to confirm/test this thing I noticed that the script "image_to_vmware.sh" assumes that "unpack_partitions.sh" and "chromiumos_image.bin" are under "x86_generic" ($FLAGS_from, in image_to_vmware.sh) but actually they are present under "x86_generic/0.7.47.201005272220-a1"

I checked $FLAGS_from and it was pointing to /home/superman/chromiumos/chromiumos.git/src/build/images/x86-generic

You can use "--from" parameter to point the folder of your x86 binary like:
(cros-chroot) $ ./image_to_vmware.sh --from=($your_x86_bin_folder)

but it's not the reason of my problem :(

I have same issue.
To sole shflags one, that is easy.
You download shflags.tgz and cp shflags to /usr/lib.
But the real problem is chromeos-setimage.
this ends up with below.

I did mknod all /devs, but did not work.
I guess the google team has not checked VMware image build.

TRY VMWARE IMAGE PLEASE!!!! > the google team.

There's already a thread for this...!

But yes, I have the same issue.

Someone mentioned on IRC that he would look at it... but he didn't say
when :)

It is okay to mount /tmp/tmp.*/part_3.
# mount -o loop /tmp/tmp.*/part3 /mnt
this works.
# chroot /mnt
this also works.
So, disk image is okay.

ANY HELP?

Jun, I do not have an answer, but this is the "discuss" the OS issue group. Ypu might try asking in cros-dev and see if anyone on that list has some information... It looks like someone got it to work earlier in the thread, but I did not see confirmation that the work-around helped in your case.
