Unable to build Elementary OS Luna

[Ollie Reardon]

Trying to build Elementary OS Luna to use on my machine but I am unable to build it, here is the output from build.sh:

Does Elementary OS require the latest daily build of Oneiric or an Alpha release?

I have the same problem! I have tried everything and still doesn't work!

[Kheeper (kheeper)]

replace current build.sh with this then is all gonna work well

[Ollie Reardon (ojdon)]

Using that new build.sh gives me this strange error:

ojdon@ubuntu:~/elementaryos$ sudo ./build.sh
[sudo] password for ojdon:
sudo: ./build.sh: command not found
ojdon@ubuntu:~/elementaryos$ dir

When I go to see what's in the directory:

ojdon@ubuntu:~/elementaryos$ dir
build.sh conf.sh LICENSE oneiric-desktop-i386.iso README resources
ojdon@ubuntu:~/elementaryos$

It seems to be all there. Strange.

[Kheeper (kheeper)]

chmod +x build.sh

[Ollie Reardon (ojdon)]

Ah thank you, it's building again. Hopefully it's all fixed thanks to the new build script you posted.

[Kheeper (kheeper)]

it's only removing symlink in /var/run if exist

[Eduard Gotwig (gotwig)]

Kheeper: Please inform shnatsel, or request a merge request for that ! This fix should go into eBuild!

[Kheeper (kheeper)]

it is merged now ;)

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Applied the suggested workaround for now; forwarded the bug upstream as bug 812418

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Upstream bug fixed in SVN, waiting for the fix to land in a stable release

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

We're not using eBuild anymore, so the bug is obsolete.
