Hello Lonnie,
I have not gotten things to compile down to the final step but have an error in creating the ISO for some reason even though I have "genisoimage" installed.
COMPILE syscall.o COMPILE tss.o COMPILE utcb.o COMPILE vmx.o COMPILE vtlb.o LINK hypervisormake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lonnie/genode/gnova64' genode build completed using NOVA kernel at /home/lonnie/genode/gnova64/kernel/hypervisor creating ISO image... Error: ISO image creation failed make: *** [run/seoul-fancy] Error 251 lonnie@...223...:~/genode/gnova64$
I don't know the reason from the tip of my head. To investigate, we need to take a closer look at the ISO-creation step. It is performed as part of the 'build_boot_image' function of the run script (NOVA-specific implementation at base-nova/run/env line 85), which calls the platform-independent function 'create_iso_image_from_run_dir' (located at tool/run line 419). The run tool, in turn, invokes the external utility tool/create_iso with the following arguments:
<genode-dir>/tool/create_iso iso ISO=<build-dir>/var/run/seoul-fancy
The create_iso utility is actually a Makefile that uses the mkisofs command. Please take a look inside tool/create_iso to see the command-line options or, even better, remove the '@' character from line 40 to make the command arguments visible when create_iso is invoked the next time, and retry the create_iso step. For reference, when it works as it should, the output looks as follows:
mkisofs -f -l -R -hide-rr-moved -jcharset utf-8 -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -o /open/build/genode/nova_x86_64/var/run/seoul-fancy.iso /open/build/genode/nova_x86_64/var/run/seoul-fancy Warning: -follow-links does not always work correctly; be careful.

The reason for the failure might be even unrelated to mkisofs. For example, the create_iso tool relies on binutils installed on your machine as it invokes the strip command. Or maybe there is not just not enough disk space left?
