[SOLVED] .img.gz file creation fails without any message

Libretro Lakka
#1

I’m trying to build Lakka to add ATXRaspi support for Raspberry Pi 3B. Here is the command I’m using :

DISTRO=Lakka PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm make image 2>&1

Here are the build logs once everything is checked as green INSTALL

Makefile:12 : la recette pour la cible « image » a échouée
make: *** [image] Erreur 1

As you can see on the logs, it justs crashes out of nowhere after creating the .system and .kernel files… any clue on what’s going on ? Am I missing a tool to make the final image file ? I have 300gb available on the disk so it’s not coming from that.

Thanks !

This looks like the same error I was getting. Do you have mkimage installed?

#3

It solved my problem too, thanks ! The make script should print an error message stating that mkimage is missing, instead of just failing like that.

For the record, the mkimage utility can be found in the u-boot-tools Debian package.
