Keystone build errors - with the latest git pull

[Paul Heath]

I've been suddenly getting odd build errors. Both with Ubuntu 22.04 and ubuntu 20.04

Here's the terminal output...

paul@paul-ubuntu20:~/keystone$ make
mkdir -p /home/paul/keystone//build-generic64/overlay
 >>>  (INF) Building Buildroot
set -o pipefail ; make -C /home/paul/keystone//buildroot O=/home/paul/keystone//build-generic64/buildroot.build BR2_EXTERNAL=/home/paul/keystone//overlays/keystone all 2>&1 | \

Within the build.log, I see some rsync errors... vis

These things just started a week ago, and there's no clear reason I can see. 

Any ideas anyone ?

ok. This problem has gone away following a very deep clean of the VM I was on... things are building now.

Hello Paul,

Even I am facing the same issue Can you explain me in detail how to do deep cleaning?

Thanks,

Ramya Boggaram.

Ramya, 

I just removed the keystone directory and pulled it again. Make sure you have all the build requisite packages installed. 

I have, since working with the Buildroot process a little while, discovered a few ways of 'un-breaking' a build that will not 

complete. In the above instance, the log suggests that the problem happened during the build of 'host-ccache'. 

For the exact point of error, you can go into build-generic/build.log and have a look. But in this case, lets assume host-ccache is

the problem. You can just remove the directory under build-generic/buildroot.build/build/host-ccache-3.7.12, 

or whatever the current package name is. Then restart the make, and Buildroot will go fetch a clean copy of that 

package and try to rebuild it. It seems to me that it is not too hard to get Buildroot into a phase that it is not happy.
