--prereq option is not working
Closed this issue · 7 comments
I have an issue with first script run.
When i try to start script with --prereq option i get error
Ubuntu x64 12.04.5
root@ubuntu:~/asuswrt-merlin# ./ubuntu-build-image --prereq
ERROR: unrecognized router model --prereq. Either the command line or this script needs fixing.
Thanks for the report. I'll look into it. You ran the latest from master?
Okay, check whether this is now fixed on master. I think the problem was that it matched anything with --prereq plus any characters, but not 0 or more characters.
This should be fixed now. You can also use -P as a shorthand.
Added this to the README.md.
Ok, first step is passed by apply -P option, all packeges are installed on my system.
One question about confirm packages install , better enter "Y" instead of "Yes" or just hit Enter for approve or CTRL+C for exit
Second step start a compilation .... but ...
root@ubuntu:~/asuswrt-merlin# ./ubuntu-build-image RT-N66U
NOTE: this script has only been tested on Ubuntu 14.04. If you run it on a different platform, please report back if it works. But more importantly report back if it doesn't. Thanks.
dpkg-query: error: unknown option --load-avail
Use --help for help about querying packages.
ERROR: it appears you have packages missing (see above) that are required to build a firmware image.
Use:
./ubuntu-build-image --prereq
or:
apt-get --no-install-recommends install ...
to install the missing packages, then retry.

Oh, snap. So this means that this option is new. I'll have to try on Ubuntu 12.04.5 myself and will then see what can be done. For now I'll commit a little workaround shortly. What it does is to give you the full command line with apt-get install ... you'll have to perform that step manually nevertheless, until I have devised a solution on precise.
I'll see about the suggestion regarding Y/N etc as well. I was trying to dodge that, because it complicates the script unnecessarily.
This should now be solved. I am currently running the test on 12.04. So far all looks fine. Tested on Debian already.
Worked like a charm on Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and Debian 7.8
