mkdtimg: No such file or directory

[meb99]

Hello I am trying to build the android OS for the evk_7ulp-userdebug, or specifically

./imx-make.sh -j1 2>&1 | tee build-log.txt

This is my second time with the same error. Currently I am on ubuntu 18. Except for the version I have been following the instructions here

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/ANDROID_USERS_GUIDE.pdf

and checking for differences here

https://source.android.com/setup/build/initializing#installing-required-packages-ubuntu-1804

The only two package differences I have are 

liblzo2-devlzop was  changed to liblzo2-dev

and libz-dev was changed to zlib1g-dev

Doesn't look like there are any other posts missing this specific file so any help is greatly appreciated.

My entire build log is attached. Thank you

编译aosp 源码之后，mkdtimg在 out/host/linux-x86/bin 里面。
After compiling aosp source code, mkdtimg is in out/host/linux-x86/bin

Spoiler

export PATH=/your path/out/host/linux-x86/bin

Hello meb99,

For this error you must erase the entire android and reinstall again, this error won´t happens if you download correctly the android.

I appreciate the response. I have now done this 4 times. I just re-downloaded everything from scratch, including a fresh ubuntu install for sanity, and tried this on ubuntu 20 for fun. I got to the exact same point. So I have done this on ubuntu 16, 18, and 20 twice. And I always get the same error.

I havn't successfully finished a build yet, but I was able to get past that error by copying ./prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/libufdt/mkdtimg to out/host/linux-x86/bin/mkdtimg

I am starting to feel like there might be a bug unless there is something I am just missing in all my builds.

One update. I realized that what looks like the bin directory with the missing file is located in 

~/android_build/out/.path/ 

instead of 

~/android_build/out/host/linux-x86/bin

tried just copying the entire directory to where it is looking for and I get the same error even though it is definitely present.
