HI! I am participating in this year’s Google Code-in contest. I have the task of getting Haiku compiled. I have compiled Haiku for x86_64 target, but it halts in the booting process. I have configured it using this command:
../configure --build-cross-tools x86_64 ../../buildtools
and built an anyboot image using this command:
jam -q -j4 @anyboot-image
I got a haiku-boot-cd.iso but the build process finished with this message:
BUILD FAILURE:
...failed updating 1 target(s)...
...skipped 8 target(s)...
...updated 5670 target(s)...
Here is the screenshot of halting:
I haven’t used much IRC before and having some trouble getting connected with #haiku channel.
Thanks!
While I’m not sure this doesn’t work, usually the build profile is:
jam -q -j2 @nightly-anyboot
The build process failed. When successful, you should have a haiku-anyboot.iso in your ‘generated’ folder. I suppose the boot-cd.iso is only the bootloader, so it kinda works, but stops when it doesn’t find the actual OS to load.
We’d need the output with the actual failure to see what went wrong. I haven’t built Haiku from Linux in half a decade, so am probably not much use though…

@humdinger Thank you so much for your reply! I figured out that my build was failing because my fork didn’t have this change. Now I can confirm that @anyboot-image target works.
Thanks!
Nice. It was even my own typo that broke your build… Sorry about that.
