What system are you running `make` on ? There's some logic before that
iirc (like which repos to install from etc). Basically,
ovirt-appliance/automation/build-artifacts.sh is the place to go.

Sorry, I never tried to build it myself, nor have experience with
livemedia-creator. As I wrote above, I suggest to compare your
output/result with that of oVirt CI. Otherwise, I'd probably start
debugging by searching the net for the error messages you received.
Good luck and best regards,
