Can anyone confirm these instructions for building Haiku?

Try making your image bigger

Create the file build/jam/UserBuildConfig (if not done already)

Add this:

HAIKU_IMAGE_SIZE = 4000 ;

This will generate a 4GB image file, it should be enough, even in debug mode.

Yes, it did! I see a haiku-nightly.image generated now ! Thanks :slight_smile:

This rather cryptic error happens when you donā€™t have yacc/bison installed in your host system. Iā€™m not sure what exactly should check if it is installed (probably binutilsā€™ ./configure?), and why the build doesnā€™t fail when deffilep.c fails to be generated.

Thanks, this helped me past this error.
Iā€™m trying to build Haiku on Elementary OS, and sudo apt-get install bison solved the missing deffilep.c error.

I also had to install libz (sudo apt-get install libz-dev).
