[DRAFT] "Build" workflow fails to compile SeedSigner OS

[kdmukai]

Description

The build.yml workflow has been broken since sometime between Dec 23rd and Jan 12th.

My attempts to resolve it keep failing. The error displayed in the workflow runs is wrong; it can't find the *.img file because the Buildroot compilation never succeeded.

I have not been able to see anything that might explain the failure in the compiler output.

And there were no SeedSigner OS changes in that time frame that would affect compilation.

Keeping this PR as a DRAFT since I don't have an actual solution yet.

@dbast any ideas? It seems like something in the Actions backend must have changed? Or some dependency in Buildroot / SeedSigner OS isn't version pinned?

@kdmukai the build.sh does not stop on error, the script would need a set -o pipefail -o errexit right at the beginning... from the current build log it is unclear if the final build failure is a result of a previous masked/non-visible error... errexit forces bash to immediately exit on any error, so it becomes easier to spot what is the problem ... trying that in #673 by setting those options from the outside

[dbast]

no masked error... the tooling on the action runners seem to have changed... switching to build inside Docker is maybe better... trying that

Closing. Fixed in #673.
