Everything is fine until we start the MOSBUILD process. The process is an arrow launched at that point, which is frustrating. Especially to come back after a while and find it quit for a trivial and preventable reason.
Failure 1- After getting the exact build of Raspian stretch lite required per Githib, I STILL got an error on rc-local.service failed. This required a change in RASPBIAN code and restart per Google.
Failure 2 - multiple broken packages. This required me to fix them and start yet again. Now I am 2 plus hours in, partly because I have no idea whether it is done yet and don't want to unplug it and restart to just check.
Failure 3 - moslog only says '** Error: should never arrive at case = *' This message repeats 10 times. That is all it says. No idea what this means or how far it got, or how to fix it. I have 3 hours invested in it now. Gave up and went to bed.
This process is like fumbling in the dark. I really loved moode player, but I can't love this build process at all. Heck, back in the day I wrote assembler code, but that was on old dumb terminals and I could at least see what was happening/had happened....
Huh. What the heck did you do?
The home website http://moodeaudio.org clearly declares that you can download an image file for moOde via the link provided.
It also has a link to the github.org site. If you want to build moOde yourself then Koda59's instructions at https://github.com/moode-player/mosbuild work just fine.
How do I know? To test they are still valid, an hour ago I started with an RPi3B+, a fresh uSD card, and those instructions (specifically for the "building on the boot SD card" option) and now 60 minutes later I have a working copy of moOdeOS.
And I could follow the build process nearly continuously using the commands clearly mentioned at the end of the first stage of mosbuild.sh.
Just saying...
