Hi there! This looks like a bug in the configure script where it's trying to compute the absolute path to certain directories used by the build system (in this case ./build) but it hasn't been created yet. It's supposed to output a gitignored .config file in the project root. In the meanwhile you can manually create this file yourself, which you can adapt from mine:

ARCH := x86_64
TOOLCHAIN := x86_64-linux-musl
PROJECT_DIR := /Users/aaron/Projects/osdev
BUILD_DIR := /Users/aaron/Projects/osdev/build
TOOL_ROOT := /Users/aaron/Projects/osdev/build/toolchain
SYS_ROOT := /Users/aaron/Projects/osdev/build/sysroot
QEMU := qemu-system-x86_64

DEBUG := y
QEMU_DEBUG := y

CLANG_BUILD_PLUGIN := y
QEMU_BUILD_PLUGIN := y
QEMU_INCLUDE_DIR := /Users/aaron/Projects/qemu/include/qemu

I will look into the script and push a fix in the next day or so. Thanks for the report!

Had a moment to take a look and it just needed a mkdir -p before calling realpath on $BUILD_DIR. Already pushed the fix:

fix: create BUILD_DIR before realpath in configure

That is a different error: Missing 7 dependencies.. You must download those for it to work. Then you run make setup and there should be a .config file, if not let me know.
