Build failure

[snd-raspberry]

Hi Brobwind,
I have a build failure:
mkfs.fat: warning - lowercase labels might not work properly with DOS or Windows
mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "build/make/tools/fat16copy.py", line 773, in
root = fat(sys.argv[1]).root
File "build/make/tools/fat16copy.py", line 469, in init
"Can only handle FAT with 1 reserved sector"

Have you ever see this? Can it be old version of toolchain?
Thanks,
Snd-Raspberry

yes, this is an issue with build. I can build standard google AOSP source without any errors. So it seems like an issue related to your repo or build environment. Disabling check in "build/make/tools/fat16copy.py", line 469" will "fix" an issue, but I don't think this is generic way to fix it.

I uses Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS to build the code, and the mkfs.fat program version is '3.0.28 (2015-05-16)', compared to yours mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24). I thinks this is the reason.

There is indeed an issue in the dosfstool shipped in Ubuntu 18.04.
I've been able to build successfully on Ubuntu 18.04, by rolling back dosfstool version.

Here is what I did:

sudo apt remove dosfstools
git clone https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools.git 
cd dosfstools/
git checkout v3.0.28
make
sudo apt install checkinstall
sudo checkinstall

Then restart your shell.
