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. On Tuesday, July 23, 2019, Yedidyah Bar David <didi@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi, Can someone tell me how to generate ovirt-engine-appliance ova file in ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.x86_64.rpm?
You might want to check the project's source code: https://github.com/ovirt/ovirt-appliance/
Or study the logs of a CI build of it: https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-appliance_master_build-artifacts-el7-x86...
I never tried building it myself locally, though.
I tried to build after checked out the source code from https://github.com/ovirt/ovirt-appliance/,
but the build failed.

Can you help me to fix the issue?
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,
I tried to import ovirt-engine-appliance ova(ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova) from ovirt-engine, but I got error as following: Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file: /var/tmp/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova
No idea why this failed.
I guess ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova has more than CentOS7.6.
It has CentOS + oVirt engine.
The only major use for it is by hosted-engine --deploy. In theory you can try importing it elsewhere, but I do not recall reports about people that tried this and whether it works.
Best regards,
