'', none, line unknown errors

'', none, line unknown errors

[Pedro I. Sanchez]

Hello,

I downloaded ct 1.5.2, run configure, make, make install, and then ct-ng 
menuconfig with my options (arm CPU). I then run ct-ng and get this kind 
of hilarious errors :-)

$ sudo ct-ng build
[INFO ]  Performing some trivial sanity checks
[INFO ]  Build started 20091213.203008
[INFO ]  Building environment variables
[WARN ]  Directory '' does not exist. Will not save downloaded tarballs 
to local storage.
[ERROR]  Build failed in step '<none>'
[ERROR]  Error happened in 
'/usr/local/lib/ct-ng-1.5.2/scripts/functions' in function 
'CT_DoExecLog' (line unknown, sorry)
[ERROR]        called from 
'/usr/local/lib/ct-ng-1.5.2/scripts/crosstool-NG.sh' at line # 231 in 
function 'main'
[ERROR]  Look at '' for more info on this error.
[ERROR]  (elapsed: 0:00.22)
[00:01] / make: *** [build] Error 1



Running on Ubuntu 9.10. Any ideas?

Thanks

Yes, I have to admit that the situation is, well, funny at the least...

But, if you had attached the .config file, it would have been easier to
understand the problem.

You did not configure a directory where to save/retrieve tarballs to/from.
Will fix the message.

Reason: the top-most debug frame in bash does not say what line it failed
at, only the file the error happened in.

Line 231 is where the install directory is created. Either you don't have
rights to create the specified directory, or you forgot to configure it.

Either way, the error message ought to be more explicit, right.

The build.log file is created in the install directory, which is not yet
created. Hence it has no name so far.

Indeed, defining the download directory makes the difference. I believe 
you should provide a sensible default for this directory, 'dl' for 
example. I bet not many people would care about how you call it.

Anyway, I had a good laugh looking at the error report, and that was 
good :-) I'll see how it goes from now.

Thanks,
