Description bugzilla 2016-10-24 21:33:35 UTC
Hi,

I am trying to build the standard, first "bootstrap" recipe using cerbero.

I've executed the command "./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap", but at the end I only get the following error message:
"Recipe does not support platform: linux Exiting"

I've done this on Debian Jessie 8.3 and on Elementary OS based on Ubuntu Xenial, same error.

Is this a bug, or are my operating systems not supported?
Are there any fixes or workarounds available?
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-10-25 04:29:23 UTC
Which version of cerbero are you using, and what is the complete output?
Comment 2 bugzilla 2016-10-25 05:01:16 UTC
Here's the complete output:

WARNING: Using default configuration because /home/soeren/.cerbero/cerbero.cbc is missing
WARNING: Could not recover status
Recipe does not support platform: linux Exiting

And I'm running the latest Version from Github:

https://github.com/GStreamer/cerbero
Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-10-25 09:18:30 UTC
Which version is that? There is no string "Recipe does" or similar anywhere in cerbero
Comment 4 bugzilla 2016-10-25 09:22:06 UTC
Yeah thats strange.

I've cloned the repo from Github and simply run ./cerbere-uninstalled bootstrap. 

Thats all. And the error appers at the and.
Comment 5 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-10-25 09:26:31 UTC
If you "git grep" for that string, or parts of it, where does it come from?
Comment 6 bugzilla 2016-10-25 14:01:05 UTC
I get a new error, maybe this is more helpful.
I tried in a VM:

WARNING: Using default configuration because /home/soeren/.cerbero/cerbero.cbc is missing
WARNING: No bootstrapper for the distro version debian_jessy

> WARNING: No bootstrapper for the distro version debian_jessy

Where does that string 'jessy' come from - isn't it 'jessie' ?
Comment 8 Tim-Philipp Müller 2018-01-20 12:34:31 UTC
Seems to work fine for me on debian jessie:

root@xxx:~/cerbero# ./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap
WARNING: Running as root

Don't know what to do about this without more information, sorry. I think you have to debug where it bails out and why :)

Perhaps it's been fixed in the meantime.
