Problem Compiling 8.0.0 for RPi

I'm new to compiling LE and have successfully compiled the master branch. However, I'm trying to compile the 8.0.0 branch and keep getting the following error when creating the image file:
============
image: creating file LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.0.0.img...
image: creating partition table...
image: creating part1...
image: creating part2...
image: creating filesystem on part1...
image: creating bootloader configuration...
image: copying files to part1...
image: extracting part2 from image...
image: creating filesystem on part2...
image: populating filesystem on part2...
image: error happen...

Error: [Filesystem error] /tmp/tmp.XWIglA7cq4/part2.ext4 cannot be opened.
===============

In the target directory the img, kernel, system and tar files are created but not the img.gz file.

I would appreciate any assistance anyone can offer to help resolve this issue.

You need to use newer e2fsprogs package. Run this:

Code

wget -O pr1154.patch https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/1154.patch
patch -p1 <pr1154.patch
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm ./scripts/clean e2fsprogs
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm make image

Thanks for your help.
I followed your advice but encountered the following problem after the 2nd command:
========
LibreELEC.tv> patch -p1 <pr1154.patch

Hunk #1 FAILED at 17.

Then just update version number by hand with

Code

sed -i 's|PKG_VERSION=.*|PKG_VERSION="1.43.3"|' packages/sysutils/e2fsprogs/package.mk

Unfortunately that did not work.
I still have the original error.

Here are links to my logs:

Then try to bump populatefs too:

Code

wget -O packages/tools/populatefs/package.mk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/master/packages/tools/populatefs/package.mk
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm ./scripts/clean populatefs
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm make image

I've implemented all of your suggestions to myself and others with similar problems compiling LE8.
However, now I'm getting the following new error:
===================================
You will probably need to make your busybox binary
setuid root to ensure all configured applets will
work properly.

Do you have any advice for resolving this issue?

BTW, I wanted to use pastebin to post my entire log but unlike previous logs, the current log file is huge (36MB)

wget -O packages/x11/font/liberation-fonts-ttf/package.mk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/c4ab1f6ca47dcb781811f9a3740506267e229ea1/packages/x11/font/liberation-fonts-ttf/package.mk
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm ./scripts/clean liberation-fonts-ttf
rm sources/liberation-fonts-ttf/liberation-fonts-ttf-2.00.1.tar.gz*
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm make

I appreciate all the help you've given me and I feel like I'm almost there.
I now have the following error:
===================
image: creating file LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.0.0.img...
image: creating partition table...
image: creating part1...
image: creating part2...
image: creating filesystem on part1...

image: extracting part2 from image...
image: creating filesystem on part2...
image: populating filesystem on part2...
image: error happen...

scripts/mkimage: line 287: populatefs: command not found

image: cleanup...
===========================
I ran the following commands you gave me:
wget -O packages/tools/populatefs/package.mk package.mk
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm ./scripts/clean populatefs

and then recompiled but I still get the same error dealing with populatefs.

What should I do next?

Not sure what happen but this should work.

Code

PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm ./scripts/clean populatefs
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm ./scripts/build populatefs:host
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm make

Unfortunately that didn't work. Got the same error. Where should populatefs be located?
Is it a script file or executable?
I did a search using the find command and find said the file does not exist.

For me it is

Code

build.LibreELEC-RPi.arm-8.0.0/toolchain/sbin/populatefs

I think something is messed up with your system. This package should be build automatically.

It's not in that directory on my system.
I'm running the following system on a Dell computer:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.10
Release: 16.10
Codename: yakkety

what's the command to compile only populatefs?

HooRaay! I finally got LE 8.0 to compile.
Thanks vpeter for your advice that helped resolve my pronlem.
Your advice to update the e2fsprogs package and the fonts package specifically helped resolve the issue. The update to populatefs was not required,.
