Failed to build esp-sdk

[Kunalverma1502]

Earlier it was working completely fine.

now whenever I build esp-sdk using

'docker build . -f esp-sdk-dockerfile -t esp-sdk'

It says

[INFO ] Retrieving needed toolchain components' tarballs
[ERROR]

I recently had the same problem on Ubuntu.
Problem search resulted the build stopped because expat-2.2.10.tar.xz could not be downloaded. I downloaded it manually and the build was successful, but
Docker seems to be able to borrow a container that has already been created.

can you mention the steps to do the same !

As detailed in the link above, I don't think there is a need to explain further.
As a beginner, the sequence I followed is as follows.
(Details can be found in /esp-open-sdk/crosstool-NG/build.log on your computer.)

1. Download the file from the address below.
   https://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/expat/expat/2.2.10/expat-2.2.10.tar.xz

2. Download "expat-2.1.0.tar.gz"
   Go to ~/esp-open-sdk/crosstool-NG/.build/tarballs folder.

3. Then rebuild " ...STANDALONE=n"

   I hope my experience will help you solve the problem.

btw the toolchain is looking for expat-2.1.0.tar.gzfile. The url above is targeting to version 2.2.10.

@maximkulkin
Any idea how to solve this while using docker?
get the same errors. but I can't manually edit or download because the image will not be created on error.

Thanks.

It's missing libexpat, adding the following between git clone ... and make STANDALONE=n in esp-sdk-dockerfile fixed it for me:

    cd /build/esp-open-sdk/crosstool-NG ; \
    ls ; \
    mkdir .build ; \
    cd .build ; \
    mkdir tarballs ; \
    cd tarballs ; \
    wget https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/releases/download/R_2_1_0/expat-2.1.0.tar.gz ; \

The same steps would work if you were to do this manually on a linux VM/machine

@camielverdult Yup, that works look here for more information.
