Error: "unpackbootimg not found"

[Jared Moore]

I was trying to build Android on my x86 Ubuntu 10.10 machine and when
I typed "build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh motorola sholes
boot.img" (boot.img is in my current directory; building for the OG
Droid). When I do I get the error "unpackbootimg not found. Is your
android build environment set up and have the host tools been built?"
After a little looking around, I found that typing "make -j4 out/host/
linux-x86/bin/unpackbootimg" would solve it, however, when I do this,
it does not solve the issue. Is there something else that I should
try?

Sholes isn't supported in AOSP.

Well, seeing as the issue is a missing file, not anything to do with
the device, that is not the issue. The question is how does one get
the file, not why it doesn't work for sholes

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

Well, I don't know where you downloaded your source tree from. I don't
even have build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh here.
