Fails in Build Tools

[ArchieTsai]

Hi team,

I am new to CBL-Mariner. I followed the Prerequisites doc to install all the requirements for building. Then, run the command below to build tools as docs mentioned.

sudo make toolchain REBUILD_TOOLS=y REBUILD_TOOLCHAIN=y DOWNLOAD_SRPMS=y

Almost 2 hours later, got the following error

My dev environment is:

• Ubuntu 18.04 @ WSL2
• Docker desktop v2.3.0.5 for Windows
• commit ID: 83de3e2 @ main branch

Try following this for GO instead: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/pengwin-setup/blob/master/pengwin-setup.d/go.sh

Some updates to the quick start and other build guides were just completed in the 1.0-dev branch (https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner/blob/1.0-dev/toolkit/docs/building/building.md). We can't guarantee package/source availability for the tip of the branches, so the instructions now include git checkout 1.0-stable.

and a quick tip (not sure it applies to all), but I'm also using WSL2 Ubuntu 18.04 and python2 is missing when building the packages.
So here is a quick workaround (might be needed to be added to the prerequisites page):

# Current Python v2 is 2.7
sudo apt install -y python2.7
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2

then building the packages sudo make input-srpms DOWNLOAD_SRPMS=y will no more throw this error.

And thanks for the additional git commands, the tools and packages built perfectly 👐

Closing this issue as the original concern has been addressed.
