Fails on Wifi-Enabler

[phillippi2]

I am trying to build AsteroidOS on Arch Linux. This is for the Asus Zenwatch 3, swift. However, the build fails when running wifi-builder.
The error message state "Error: nothing provides wifi-enabler." Then it says that the dependency is missing.

I downloaded Asteroid using got clone on its main repository. Then I built it. Finally, tried to build it using the suggested command: bitbake asteroid-image.

On a side note, figuring out how to set bitbake up is a bit frustrating because of the lack of documentation online. The one from Arch's repository fails to build. I'm still not sure I got it setup properly, as it seems to depend on the location it's located in. Anyways.

What can I try to alleviate this problem?

When did you clone the repository? The wifi-enabler recipe was added two days ago: AsteroidOS/meta-asteroid@cf30024

To easy up on building AsteroidOS you can also build it using Docker or Podman: https://wiki.asteroidos.org/index.php/Building_AsteroidOS#Build_with_containers.

Also, you only need to ensure that the dependencies are installed on your Arch setup. bitbake is downloaded as part of the prepare-build.sh script. For building without containers you can also follow this guide: https://wiki.asteroidos.org/index.php/Building_AsteroidOS#Build_without_containers

I had cloned the repository on Sunday. I'll try the new version when I get back home. I'll update after trying it.

Update: I recloned the repository and tried to compile it. It shows that it prepared bitbake. However, the system acts like it didn't install it. Cannot find the command.

I finally got to try to compile AsteroidOS. Now, I get another error. However, I don't understand what the error is. Let's see if I can figure out how to post code manageably.

~/asteroid master bash -c "source ./prepare-build.sh dory && bitbake asteroid-image" 126 ✘

Welcome to the Asteroid compilation script.

If you meet any issue you can report it to the project's github page:
https://github.com/AsteroidOS

You can now run the following command to get started with the compilation:
bitbake asteroid-image

Have fun!

Hey @phillippi2
I too had issues when trying to build on arch natively from the 20230730 build on.
My errors differ from yours but @argosphil on matrix suspected that possible my errors where due to the perl version being too new.
This is of not much help to fix the actual problem. But moving to the podman ubuntu container worked for me.

[argosphil]

Maybe you could try reproducing the problem on an arch live system booted from an .iso, if such a thing exists? We tried doing that for @eLtMosen 's distro but it worked fine using the .iso...

I suspect it's a toolchain issue similar to the perl one. (My understanding is perl removed a widely-used feature still marked as experimental, and bitbake assumed perl was stable enough to use host perl rather than building a perl-native recipe).

[argosphil]

I've managed to reproduce this by installing EndeavourOS in qemu. It happens with the system-supplied bash, which is bash version 5.1.16(1)-release, built with GCC 13.1.1 20230429, arch release 4. Rebuilding the package with makepkg and GCC 13.2.1 20230801 makes the problem go away, even if bash 5.1.016-4 is built.

I'm not convinced this is a bash or GCC bug yet. It might also be a libpseudo interaction or another library bug triggered by a specific combination of factors.
