Xenial Desktop Template VM Compiling

[Basti Gibbons]

So I have been following this awesome guide for compiling a 16.04 compatible TemplateVM here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Qubes/comments/5vzg04/idiots_guide_to_installing_qbuntu_ubuntu_1604/

Fantastic quide but obviously its not idiot proof enough as I am having troubles. I have created the Ubuntu-builder template but whenever I try to run the ./setup script to download sources for compiling I get this:

Makefile:186: target 'mgmt-salt.get-sources' given more than once in the same rule
Makefile:188: target 'mgmt-salt.get-sources-extra' given more than once in the same rule
Makefile:208: target 'mgmt-salt-vm' given more than once in the same rule Makefile:220: target 'mgmt-salt-dom0' given more than once in the same rule Makefile:373: target 'mgmt-salt.clean' given more than once in the same rule Makefile:500: target 'mgmt-salt.grep' given more than once in the same rule Makefile:186: target 'mgmt-salt.get-sources' given more than once in the same rule
Makefile:188: target 'mgmt-salt.get-sources-extra' given more than once in the same rule
Makefile:208: target 'mgmt-salt-vm' given more than once in the same rule
Makefile:220: target 'mgmt-salt-dom0' given more than once in the same rule Makefile:373: target 'mgmt-salt.clean' given more than once in the same rule Makefile:500: target 'mgmt-salt.grep' given more than once in the same rule

This seems a bit arbitrary from the sounds of it ( maybe the sources are listed more than once in the make file) but I want to know if this is going to affect my end compiled kernal.

I originally dismissed these and completed the guide as written but I could only get firefox and Xterm to work from my applications list, even after I put the fix in for this specific issue ( tried the guides way and even just hardcoded it without my if fi statements but still had no luck. )

As you'll see at the bottom of the post, someone suggested to run a debug function but this is where my extreme noobishness kicks in. I declared a debug function and thought I was outputting to a debug file but could not find anything. Can anyone help with what seems to be a noob problem?

All help is greatly appreciated as I will be learning from it and I thank you in advance!

I don't see this behaviour - is it happening when you download sources
from within setup.sh? Is it only with Xenial, or does it occur if you
select other build targets?

It sounds as if some of the PRs haven't been merged in to release3.2. If
you can start xterm, (and you say you can), can you try manually
starting another program that you find wont run from the applications
list, and report back any error?
