I'm trying to build Haiku on (Gentoo) Linux into its own partition and
the build just silently doesn't do it.  No error messages, plenty of
object files recompiled etc. but it doesn't repopulate the partition.
It certainly /used/ to work as there is an old Haiku installation on
the partition, but now it doesn't.  Is there a known problem in that
area?  The last few lines of the build are:

. . .
SetType1 
/home/mounty/haiku/HP-laptop/objects/common/data/settings/tracker_new_templates/text
 file 
InitScript1 /home/mounty/haiku/HP-laptop/haiku.image-extract-files 
AddExtractFileToContainerExtractFilesScript 
<HaikuImage>haiku.image-extract-files-dummy-home/config/settings/WebPositive-<download>WebPositiveBookmarks-2014-07-21.zip
 
...skipped 1793 target(s)...
...updated 211 target(s)...

The build command is:

PATH=$PATH:../buildtools/jam/bin.linuxx86 jam -q @strappy-Jupiter

In a typical out-of-tree build hierarchy:

$HOME/haiku/source
$HOME/haiku/buildtools
$HOME/haiku/HP-laptop  <--- build directory

and $HOME/haiku/source/build/jam/UserBuildConfig has (trimmed for
brevity):

...
DefineBuildProfile strappy-Jupiter : disk : "/dev/sda3" ;

switch $(HAIKU_BUILD_PROFILE) {
        case "strappy-Jupiter" : {
                HAIKU_DONT_CLEAR_IMAGE = 0 ;
                HAIKU_IMAGE_HOST_NAME = strappy ;
        }

}

HAIKU_BUILD_FEATURE_SSL = 1 ;

/dev/sda3 is owned and writable by me.

Any ideas?  Thanks,

Michael.
