Hi,

i’m trying to build an balenaOS image for raspberry pi 4 and it fails. I’m using ubuntu 18.04

git clone --recursive [https://github.com/balena-os/balena-raspberrypi.git](https://github.com/balena-os/balena-raspberrypi.git)

./balena-yocto-scripts/build/barys

Log file : [cl1p.net - The internet clipboard](https://cl1p.net/uqzdsujpmdgke)

Should I build on another operating system than ubuntu 18.04?

Hey @codingecho, a number of us are using Ubuntu 18.04 for building and haven’t experienced these errors. Have you tried a fresh checkout in a clean workspace, or in a new Ubuntu virtual machine?

There are also non-official docker containers to build balenaOS in Docker, like [GitHub - alexgg/docker-balena: A balena OS docker image builder](https://github.com/alexgg/docker-balena). It’s not well documented as we are planning to improve the build process with containers in future releases of balenaOS.
