bash: You did not set version. Assuming 0.0.0
VERSION=0.0.0+git.202109121608
θ127° [id:~/.builds/ … id/build-packages/gbinder-python] bullseye* ± 

so then the version 0.0.0 is wrong. Any way to fix?

ok...
you seem to be missing a manually specified verision string so it defaults to 0.0.0 which might have later on caused apt update to mark the package as held back etc.

So i added 1.1.9 as argument to this line here:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MrCyjaneK/waydroid-build/main/build_changelog 1.1.9 | bash

Not sure if it's going to 'stay good' after doing subsequent apt-get updates. (but at least it's not 0.0.0 anymore)

@dreamcat4 thank you very much for the feedback

it has an error. it says:

it's not errors, it's just debug messages

so then the version 0.0.0 is wrong. Any way to fix?

fixed, use version number get from the gbinder-python repo git tag, now it get version 1.0.0-2

So i added 1.1.9 as argument to this line here:

i presume you're use old libgbinder version as reference cause now it already at 1.1.19 version, keep in mind that libgbinder and gbinder-python is from different repo and use different version

@suoko I guess it's because you're using the fd command instead of ordinary find maybe use alias or something like that but the -r option doesn't provided in the fd command, so please try to unset their alias.

I tried running this on a fresh Mobian bookworm install on a 128G SD card on a Pinephone Pro. It filled the whole card and then the system crashed due to no disk space.

I thought maybe I did something wrong so reflashed the SD and tried again..... same results. I guess it needs more than 128 G to run this script? Or am I doing something wrong?

I tried running this on a fresh Mobian bookworm install on a 128G SD card on a Pinephone Pro. It filled the whole card and then the system crashed due to no disk space.

check disk usage with df

df -h | grep -E "Filesystem|^/dev"

or for more details use apps like ncdu or gdu

sudo apt install -y gdu
sudo gdu -d  # to select the partition, use keyboard arrow key to navigate and `q` key to quit
sudo gdu /   # to scan all

I guess it needs more than 128 G to run this script?

no, i think it just need couple KB for gbinder-python source and still less than 250MB for all build deps package and build disk space requirement

Or am I doing something wrong?

i don't know

@whipplej5 btw does the script running or stuck on which step?

My apologies. I failed to expand the partitions after I flashed the SD card so was not utilizing the whole card. I should have looked into this further before requesting help. Thanks so much for your time.

Hey thanks for the script. Unfortunately it didn't work on linux mint 21.1 (ubuntu 22.04) so i tried to fix some errors which now seems to work for me at least.

🔗 install_waydroid.sh : fixed

Thank you!
