I made a change that allowed me to successfully build the nodeOS. This incorperates a fix to the issue: https://github.com/NodeOS/NodeOS/issues/379 And installs QEMU -- which is likely what made this current issue fail.

All I did was adjust the "install-dependancies" script, adding libfuse-dev and qemu:

elif [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then
PKGMGR='apt-get -qq -y'

dpkg --add-architecture i386 && $PKGMGR update || exit 1
$PKGMGR install curl || exit 10
$PKGMGR install gcc git || exit 20
$PKGMGR install bc || exit 21
$PKGMGR install genisoimage mtools libc6-i386 libuuid1:i386 || exit 22
$PKGMGR install libsdl1.2-dev || exit 30
$PKGMGR install libfuse-dev || exit 911
$PKGMGR install qemu || exit 912

seems that i missed this one in the dependencies script would you open a pull request for this to fix it?

But i dont think qemu is needed because we build it at runtime specificly for NodeOS with the cross toolchain.

The build script returns error 72 and when you look here it converts the usersfs tar file to an "ext" filesystem using tar2ext which calls tune2fs here and returns an ENOENT, so it is possible that you dont have installed it yet.

[jumson]

I don't think I can open a pull request. Either I do not know how, or I don't have permission. Also, tune2fs is only in my sbin, and the instructions have us running npm outside of sudo

To open a pull request you need to first fork the repository in GH, then cloning it to your local machine, creating a new branch (with git checkout -b your_branch_name because we dont want our/your master branch to be polluted with changes, because if we change something in the master branch here and you want to compare it via PR then we cant merge the histories together because they differ and you need to then rebase these changes) and then modifying the lines you want for a pull request then pushing it to your remote repository (fork) and from GH you would manually open a PR comparing the fork#branch (yours) to master#masterbranch (ours). There are many resources on how you could check git-scm or GH for this.

Also from which OS you are running this, because you are in the /mnt path

The log above was from using the Linux Subsystem in Windows. To test my solution I spun up a fresh Ubuntu 16 on a different machine and went through the process, hit the same problems, and the resolution (described above) worked. I'll do a pull request sometime tomorrow, it is bed time here. I've not yet done much using git with other people's projects, but I'd like to see if I can contribute here.
