Hi John,

note that the instructions at [1] refer to my 'pinephone' topic branches. I suspect that you are trying to build the PinePhone version of Sculpt using the release tag or master?

[1] http://genodians.org/nfeske/2023-02-01-mobile-sculpt#Building_the_image_from...

created genodelabs/pkg/sculpt/2023-03-14 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/mainuser/Devel/genode_main/genode/build/arm_v8a' Error: sculpt/launcher/report_dump not present in any repository make: *** [Makefile:431: run/sculpt_image] Error 248

I've done some rudimentary poking around to see it I could either remove "report_dump" from the Sculpt configuration or add it, but I don't know enough to accomplish either yet.

Could someone give me a quick pointer to how this is configured?  Also, any thoughts on why "report_dump" would be "not present"?

This launcher got added with the following commit that still resides on the 'pinephone' topic branch and was not merged to master yet.

Please also note the other commit on the topic branches (at nfeske/genode and nfeske/genode-allwinner).

As a heads-up, the 'pinephone' branch is volatile because it is my active working branch. If you want to use stable branches instead of living on the edge, you may find the 'pinephone_fosdem_2023' [2,3] branches more appropriate.

And while on the topic, the "SCULPT=phone" item of the make command is intriguing - if one wants to create a customized Sculpt variant, how does one go about that?

The BOARD and SCULPT arguments are used to form the path to a sculpt system description file like this:

<SCULPT>-<BOARD>.sculpt

The sculpt.run script looks up this file in the sculpt/ sub directories of all repositories. In the case of BOARD=pinephone SCULPT=phone, it finds the file [4] at:

repos/allwinner/sculpt/phone-pinephone.sculpt

[4] https://github.com/nfeske/genode-allwinner/blob/pinephone/sculpt/phone-pinep...

This file describes the ingredients of the Sculpt system. You can find more information about the various customization options documented at [5]. E.g. should you want to keep using the master branches, you may remove the 'report_dump' launcher in the .sculpt file as a quick fix.

As one interesting tidbit, you can run the phone UI on your host Linux system using the 'phone-linux.sculpt' variant [6], which is picked when specifying BOARD=linux SCULPT=phone to the sculpt.run script.

You are indeed almost there. Good luck!
