Hello @malisipi,
from the attached log file I see the following error:

[ 99%] Creating a dual-bootable (legacy+efi) image file (MBR)
  /home/malisipi/tilck/tilck/toolchain2/host_x86_64/mtools/mmd: File "usr/share/terminfo/l" not found
make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/tilck_image.dir/build.make:94: tilck.img] Error 1
make[3]: *** 'tilck.img' dosyası siliniyor
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:318: CMakeFiles/tilck_image.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:91: all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:13: all] Error 2

and it looks weird that it cannot find usr/share/terminfo/l as the directory is in sysroot. Could you please attach the output of:

ls -Rl sysroot

run on Tilck's root directory?

Also, could you please attach the output of the following three commands?

ls -lh  toolchain2/host_x86_64/mtools/mmd
file toolchain2/host_x86_64/mtools/mtools
./toolchain2/host_x86_64/mtools/mtools

Thank you,
Vlad

Thank you for attention. I ran these commands. But it seems everything is correct.

Hello @malisipi,
from what I see, everything is OK.

Tilck for sure does build on Ubuntu 21.10 in the general case as Ubuntu is the main development distro. There's something weird with your setup. The (generated) script that fails should be: ./build/scripts/build_fatpart. Try running it manually and debugging it a bit. The only place mmd is used is in the make_fatpart function:

function make_fatpart {

   create_fatpart_if_necessary
   format_fatpart

   # first, create the directories
   for f in $(find * -type d); do
      $mmd -i $dest $f                   # <<< HERE
   done

   # ...

Maybe try adding statements like pwd before the for loop. Also, check that the fatpart file in .build/fatpart do exist. Run mdir to check its contents with:

$ ./toolchain2/host/mtools/mdir -i ./build/fatpart

Btw, long shot, but it's possible that's a weird localization issue. I saw from your logs that you don't use "EN_us" or "C".

I have created a new user that uses English as primary language. And everything works fine now. Thanks you too much.

You're welcome. Probably the bug is in mtools.
