Free alternatives for " hdiutil: attach failed - no mountable file system "

[ajh123]

Hello i am running mac os Catalina and would want to. compile your OS ,i tried a few alternatives and couldn't get them to work with your scripts, maybe you could? And i don't want to use this because i seen its a trail and have to pay afterwards, or i might be missing something.

hi @ajh123, thank for your question. macos doesn't support ext2 well so we need extfs-mac to support it. I haven't found any better than way than

• install extfs-mac with 30-trial
• using prebuilt hdd.iso which I can upload it for you, so you don't need to run ./create_image.sh, only ./build qemu iso is ok to run

@MQuy
we could set up a ubuntu vagrant machine in the project's root so when we go on the vm our project will be mounted at /vagrant/ so we can run the build scrips on there, then on the host (mac os) run qemu or whatever

@MQuy i can set up the vagrant machine in a fork, and we can merge to help others
