Hi @Liviu, 
Hi @Tommy, 

I'm following the guide(s) on the xPack website. However, I got stuck when 
executing 
the fourth command on the Prerequisites page (see 
https://xpack.github.io/xbb/prerequisites/): 
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] 
https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $( lsb_release -cs ) stable" 
This is the output I get: 
Hit:1 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan InRelease 
Hit:2 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-updates InRelease 
Hit:3 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-backports InRelease 
Get:4 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security InRelease [97,5 kB] 
Ign:5 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu eoan InRelease 
Err: 6 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu eoan Release 
404  Not Found [IP: 13.225.38.15 443] 
Reading package lists... Done 
E: The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu eoan Release' does 
not have a Release file. 
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore 
disabled by default. 
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration 
details. 
What should I do? 

--------------- 

By the way, 
I note down every single step of my journey to get OpenOCD compiled on this 
page: 
https://forum.embeetle.com/t/building-openocd/137 
this way - if the OpenOCD xPack build succeeds - I've got a trace back.

Kind greetings, 

Kristof Mulier

The instructions definitely work on Ubuntu. 
I've been using Ubuntu 18 lately. 
Other distros probably work as well. 
Don't forget to read the "prerequisite" instructions for installing docker. 
Once that's done it should be trivial to pull and run the build process. 
As I mentioned earlier if you want to build from the upstream master openocd 
repo rather than Liviu's snapshots then you may need to pass additional options 
to build.sh or maybe edit even edit the scripts. 
I can't remember offhand but I could check later if necessary. 
Best to pipeclean the build process as is first before changing anything in any 
case.

Uh oh... 
I have not even the foggiest idea how to "tweak" your 
build scripts. 
To be honest, I was hoping to simply run the build script 
and watch the OpenOCD Windows binaries showing up magically :-) 
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be that simple.

When I'm "experimenting with a build" this is what I do: 
I connect the microcontroller and the probe. Then I start 
OpenOCD and feed it with the right config files. If OpenOCD 
connects to the chip and is able to flash a firmware, I 
consider the experiment to be successful. 
So for this kind of "experiments", a "production binary" is 
perfectly fine. I don't need a "debug binary". 

Many thanks for your help :-)

That's correct. 

Since OpenOCD has no release schedule, I have no idea when to make xPack 
releases.

Yes. 

The scripts have lots of configuration environment variables, if you want to 
build a more recent version, you need to tweak them. 

There is also a script to build native binaries, intended for debug sessions, 
but I'm not sure you can generate Windows binaries. 


However please note that the scripts are not specific for generating production 
binaries, which have certain requirements, and are less suitable for 
experimenting with builds. 

After playing with the scripts you'll probably prefer to use the already made 
binaries. 

FYI, I plan for a new release shortly. 

Regards, 

Liviu
