venv/bin/activate: No such file or directory

Hi,

Trying to run edk2-nvidia/Platform/NVIDIA/Jetson/build.sh after all installations and receive the following error:

thoughts?

It appears your virtualenv didn't actually create a venv. The output looks very similar to what I see when I run it though.

What is in /home/niro/tmp/UEFI/nvidia-uefi/venv?

[nirushka]

niro@niros-PC:~/tmp/UEFI/nvidia-uefi/venv$ ls
lib local pyvenv.cfg

The bin directory is missing, but you have a local directory instead. I'm not familiar with this layout.

Can you explore local? Does it have an activate?

[nirushka]

The local directory had bin directory inside, changed the build script and now its working, thx.

It sounds like this issue:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1406304/virtualenv-installs-envs-into-local-bin-instead-of-bin

If so, a quick fix is to modify edk2-nvidia/Silicon/NVIDIA/scripts/prepare_stuart.sh to use venv/local/bin/activate instead of venv/bin/activate. You'll need to do this in two places.

OK, I'll look for a more permanent fix and get it into our next release. Thanks!
