Does building require Arch-linux usage?

[abderraouf-adjal]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the 1.9GB full-binary in Fedora 35.
After running create-arch-bootstrap.sh then create-conty.sh, I got a 170MB conty.sh.

Does the script require running it under Arch-linux?

Hi,

No, Arch Linux as a host system is not required, the scripts should work on any distro. I'll try to figure out why they do not work on Fedora.

For now you can remove clear from the end of the scripts and see what errors they give.

I found and fixed the problem, it was not Fedora-specific. One package has been removed from the Arch repo so the create-arch-bootstrap.sh script wasn't able to install it and skipped all other packages too.

Reclone the repo and try again with the updated script, should work now.

I can confirm that 616f7c9 did fix the issue.
However when I run ./create-conty.sh I see a warning: Unrecognised xattr prefix system.posix_acl_default.
Is that issue concerning?

$ sudo ./create-conty.sh

That is ok, you can just ignore this warning. There are also some other errors from mksquashfs, but they are harmless too.

By the way, sudo is not needed for create-conty.sh, it is only needed for create-arch-bootstrap.sh.
