Well I figured out what was going wrong and why the error was appearing to be something from the past...
I recently installed Mint 17.3 on a server. It (unknown to me) rebooted and reverted to it's previous version, 13.
That's why it's seeing the really old dependency not being met.
My big stupid!

Hi All,
I'm trying to compile a build of the latest LibreELEC source, but I'm getting an error about ln not supporting --relative.
The system that's building the source is using Linux Mint 17.3.
I don't like the idea of having to upgrade ln from the default for the build and I've never had to previously.
It seems that the error is being generated by the move to systemd version 233.
Is there a patch or solution that I'm not aware of that will allow the compile to continue?
There's no mention of any requirements in the build environment for ln or any of the core utilities.
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
B
Congrats RomMon!
I haven't had a chance to kick off my build again, but I'm going to try the changes too and see how it goes.
Hi RomMon,
I'm not sure if you're seeing the same problem as me, but I'm getting the same error when building for the Raspberry Pi and it's stopping at: UNPACK kernel-firmware
When I trace back the output I can see that the build is attempting to download an xz file, and gets redirected to a gz file instead.
It saves the file as an xz file and try's to decompress it as an xz file.
I couldn't see any downloads happening in your log but the issue seems similar.
If you can check the file by running the file command on it, it'll tell you the file type (I'm getting "gzip compressed data" which is causing the problem).
Unfortunately this only diagnoses the problem, I'm unsure how to fix it, it only surfaced for me yesterday when I kicked off a new build.
Hopefully it'll simply 'go away', but if I find a fix I'll pass it on.
Regards,
B.
