Hi Matt, Say what version of ubuntu are you building this on? Would it be possible to get a complete log?
I just installed the 3.0~a40.1-1linaro13~maverick5 version of live-build out of my ppa which is referenced in the wiki page onto a "clean" oneiric machine. The cross build completed successfully. qemu or perl issues are possible and for completeness here are the versions of each I have installed on my box that just ran to successful completion: perl 5.12.4-4 qemu-user-static 1.0-2011.12-0ubuntu1~ppa11.10.1 Thanks, Tom On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 3:40 PM, Matt Waddel <matt.wad...@linaro.org> wrote: > Hi, > > I have encountered a failure running live-build that I could use > some help debugging. > > Using the instructions in the LiveBuild wiki page: > > https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/LiveBuild > > the procedure fails during the adduser step.
