@lduboeuf I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea what I'm doing lol. Should I delete the yml file? This gitlab stuff is a bit convoluted. Much of this is new to me.

yes you can remove it

@lduboeuf Here are my results.

I deleted image with:

crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 delete

I edited the control file:

               dbus-test-runner,
               dconf-cli<!nocheck>,
               debhelper-compat (= 12),

               telepathy-mission-control-5,
               xvfb <!nocheck>,

i then ran the build command:

crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 build

I got these errors:

mk-build-deps: Unable to install lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 457.
mk-build-deps: Unable to install all build-dep packages

I then attempted to install dh-translations:

 crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 inst-foreign dh-translations

get this error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dh-translations:
 dh-translations depends on intltool; however:
  Package intltool is not installed.
 dh-translations depends on jq; however:
  Package jq is not installed.

I then delete the tmp/DEBIAN folder :

sudo rm -r foreign/tmp/DEBIAN

and run the build command and get this error:

mk-build-deps: Unable to install lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 457.
mk-build-deps: Unable to install all build-dep packages

EDIT: dh-translations actually did install at this point in my process.

I am then was able to successfully install dh-translations.

I then run the build command and get these errors:

and this one again:

mk-build-deps: Unable to install lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 457.

This whole process was tried with "dh-translations:all," in the control file with the same result.

It seems as though the syntax you provided, with inst-foreign dh-translations before the distro and arch variables gives the xenial error I mentioned.

lduboeuf

@Timespansoul it seems you are on main branch, please double check.

There should be dh-translations:all in control file

This post is deleted!

Timespansoul

Hold on here...

Timespansoul

@lduboeuf Ok. My apologies, I was somehow working with main again. Not sure why I kept that.

Ok so I made sure to be in the right directory this time(ehem, cough).

I followed the directions you provided in the above post and the package built successfully! Thank you Iduboeuf!

I had to give writing rights to a few files which was pretty straight forward. I also noticed that my syntax was incorrect in my control file as you can see in my above post. I forgot to add a space before the <!nocheck>. It would've failed anyway I imagine.

My brain feels so much better now. I've never been happier to see a tar file! I'll mark this as solved right away.

Thank you very much for helping me with this. Considering the edits needed in the control file I think it would've taken me a lot longer to solve this on my own. I can say that I've learned a lot along way. Gitlab is new to me and there is much to learn.

@Timespansoul
Glad it worked.

If you run crossbuilder.... without the build it will auto deploy to the device ( but sometimes it fails so you have to install it manually ....)

I have no idea about this program or could help here. But I was seeing that there was a discussion about how to build it for multiple days.
If it is not obvious how to build it, it should maybe be mentioned in the README. Just as a suggestion...

True, but this is the same for all core projects, Some of them can be built in one shot, others need adjustments and be modified ( the case for that one ). Not easy indeed

@lduboeuf Will the merge request lead to an updated control file?

It has been merged to ubports/focal, so yes.
