Having troubles building TinaLinux on Ubuntu

Banana pi BPI-M2 Magic TinaLinux for IoT

I am having troubles building TinaLinux on Ubuntu 64-bit. I followed the build instructions called “R16_Tina_Linux_Quick_Start.md” under the “docs” repository with slight modifications to avoid some previous build errors I have had.

My sequence of commands goes somewhat like this:

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tinalinux/repo/stable/repo > repo
$ chmod +x repo
$ ./repo init -u https://github.com/tinalinux/manifest -b r16-v2.1.y -m r16/v2.1.y.xml
$ ./repo sync
$ ./repo start r16-v2.1.y --all
$ cd lichee
$ git clone https://github.com/tinalinux/linux-3.10 # needed becuase part of the build process uses linux-3.10 instead of linux-3.4
$ cd ..
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch azalea_m2ultra-tina
$ make menuconfig # I've tried without this step too
$ make -j

And my current build errors are:

/home/naw/Work/tinalinux/build/board.mk:9: /home/naw/Work/tinalinux/target/allwinner/-common/BoardConfigCommon.mk: No such file or directory
/home/naw/Work/tinalinux/build/board.mk:10: /home/naw/Work/tinalinux/target/allwinner//BoardConfig.mk: No such file or directory

I would appreciate to see other’s sequence of commands in order to build TinaLinux successfully or any hints into what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance!

I don’t believe I changed anything but after building again, I get this error now:

I was able to fix this issue by disabling COMPAT_WIRELESS, when building enter ‘n’:

Compat Wireless for Xradio driver (COMPAT_WIRELESS) [Y/n/m/?] (NEW) n
