Greetings!
I configured ptxdist 2013.03.0 to generate a rather large (8GB) hd.img for
me,
but genext2fs fails:
Creating root.ext2 from working
dir.../home/herbrich/AEOS2/platform-evoc-x86/sysroot-host/bin/genext2fs:
couldn't allocate a block (no free space)
make: *** [/home/herbrich/AEOS2/platform-evoc-x86/images/root.ext2] Error
1
Since I had 30+GB free space in my TOPDIR, I went into the lurking depths
of
ptxdist and discovered what looked like a hardcoded setting of
PTXDIST_TEMPDIR
in the setup_libs_early() function of ptxdist itself:
#
# source the scripts we need
#
# we need the PTXdist shell library
# we need the version definitions
# we need the static variable definitions
#
# out: "ptxd_*" library calls
# "*" ptxdist version variables
# "*DIR" directory definitions (some not correct, due to
missing PTXDIST_PLATFORMDIR)
# PTXDIST_TEMPDIR generic ptxdist temp dir
#
setup_libs_early() {
local file abs_file
for file in \
scripts/ptxdist_vars.sh \
scripts/libptxdist.sh \
; do
abs_file="${PTXDIST_TOPDIR}/${file}"
if [ -e "${abs_file}" ]; then
source "${abs_file}" || return
else
echo "${PTXDIST_LOG_PROMPT}FATAL didn't find
${abs_file}"
exit 1
fi
done
PTXDIST_TEMPDIR="$(mktemp -d /tmp/ptxdist.XXXXXX)"
if [ ${?} -ne 0 ]; then
echo
echo "${PTXDIST_LOG_PROMPT}error: unable to create
tempdir"
echo
exit 1
fi
}
Unfortunately I don't have 8+GB of RAM+swap handy, and I failed to find a
way to
cleanly set this variable to a location on my HDD. In retrospect I'm glad
that
kernel compilation didn't (yet) die on me with my limited /tmp ramdisk
space!
So, I guess my questions are:
1. How can I reliably generate a large-ish hd.img with limited /tmp space?
2. How can I set a different PTXDIST_TEMPDIR?
I am not inclined to accept "Dude, ptxdist is for embedded systems, create
a
smaller image already!" as an answer, though, sorry. ;)
Thanks a lot!
