Wrong SHA, should be fixed with next nightly.

Thank you very much

@Portisch , Just FYI, I was able to fix this issue on my git clone but I also noticed the same problem with wireguard-linux-compat package.mk which I also have fixed in my git clone also.

Thanks again for the help.

Also fixed now.

Is there documentation of how CoreELEC process works from reading the media to sending the finalized signal to the output hdmi? Thank you.

Today I started getting this error (FAILURE: scripts/install cairo:target has failed!) - please see log. Never got it before. Did something change on the last week or so?

Thank you for your help.

You have some kind of DNS issues:

--2024-11-12 10:34:57--  https://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.18.0.tar.xz
Resolving cairographics.org (cairographics.org)... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
wget: unable to resolve host address 'cairographics.org'

Thank you, appreciate your help. Will check, probably my DNS got corrupted.

I have a small example patch:

In which directory should I place it so that it gets included in the CE NO compilation?

Unfortunately it doesn’t apply and I don’t know why?

Look there?

That’s why I asked if it was possible to get detailed logs.

79

No? You are using 8 spaces instead of one tab character. Compare with original file how it should look.

80

you need to look in

build.CoreELEC-Amlogic-no.aarch64-22/build/linux-........./common_drivers/arch/arm64/bot/dts/amlogic
81

Thank you, that was it. I was copy pasting and the tab got lost. Thanks again!

I started having the problem below today - cannot get libudfread from main and backup sites - not sure why. All other packages are working up to this one. Thank you for your help. Log file attached.

FAILURE: scripts/install libudfread:target has failed!

Works here which means it is something on your side.

Maybe you just need to try again.

84

@vpeter, thank you, if you have a fresh CoreELEC install without the “sources” directory populated it fails. It works if you have the “sources” directory already populated since I assume it does not download the files again.

Not sure if you tried with a fresh CoreELEC install or with an existing CoreELEC environment with the “sources” directory already populated?

I tried 7 times and it fails at the same issue every time.

85

Do you really think I didn’t tried that before?
Anyway, right now … all good.
You can find another source and change package url.
