I'm new to building the toolchain so sorry if I missed something basic. 

I installed Virtualbox greater than the version noted on the instructions page. (https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/)

Used the mini image at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso per above page.

During the install I did not check any options for system software.

Started the os and installed git using sudo per the instructions page in the second line above.

After it completed I changed to the build directory and issued the compile

sudo ./compile.sh 

and seems to run as expected. I select Full OS Image -> Show a kernel configuration menu -> (select ANY board) -> Current, and it seems to run fine until it gets to the following error -

2013??

 

This is the roadblock every time for me. What step did I miss or err?

 

After a few tries I noticed it has a very brief error on boot -

 

but I don't see how that would cause a download error or use a file from 2013?

 

Guidance would be awesome at this point ;]

 

.

 

Confirmed.

Okay, seems like a general issue, not torrent related. USE_TORRENT=no leads into the same issue.

The minimal installation seems lacking gpg.

apt-get install gpg

 

This fixes it.

 

 

About 2013: Some boards, especially older ones need older toolchain to compile older sources...sometimes stuff breaks in upstream ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Werner yes that got me past the gcc linaro error thank you!!

 

it is doing more now, looks to be going fine now thank you again!
 

I could compile a kernel package for a randomly selected board and kernel so I assume everything works as expected now.

Completed without error thank you again ... although I think I will allocate more resources to the VM it took all night hihi. I understand the next run will be much faster since it doesn't have to download and build those toolchains.

 

Thanks again

 

Not just because of that. Also ccache will make the next build much faster.
