Build failed

Describe the bug I followed the instructions to try a build today with the current master

What kind of a bug is it? Make halted To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Followed instructions through the make command.

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. Expected a build Screenshots Halted with these error.. CC libgdk_3_la-gdkmarshalers.lo make[6]: *** No rule to make target 'Gdk-3.0.typelib', needed by 'all-am'. Stop. make[6]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... CC libgdk_3_la-gdkresources.lo make[5]: *** [Makefile:1663: all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: *** [Makefile:1092: all] Error 2 make[3]: *** [Makefile:746: all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: *** [Makefile:619: all] Error 2 make[1]: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:270: /home/john/buildroot/output/build/libgtk3-3.24.30/.stamp_built] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:84: _all] Error 2

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Are the GTK development libraries installed?

[nmcain]

For clarification, this is an issue with upstream GTK, it appears gobject-introspection is missing on the host device, as far as I can tell.

[jcoonrod]

Ok! I'll figure out how to add that and try again and revert! Thanks for the quick response.

[nmcain]

It should be a relatively quick sudo apt install gobject-introspection, I remember a related error when I was building regarding it, I'll have to look back and see what I did.

[jcoonrod]

Thanks - maybe good to add that to the pre-requisites list.

[jcoonrod]

Got a bit further.. d /home/john/buildroot/output/build/dap-latest&&dart pub get&&dart compile exe bin/pkg.dart&&cp bin/pkg.exe dap /bin/bash: dart: command not found make[1]: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:270: /home/john/buildroot/output/build/dap-latest/.stamp_built] Error 127 make: *** [Makefile:84: _all] Error 2

Why would it be looking for a .exe file?

[quintenvandamme]

If you use dart compile exe bin/pkg.dart it generates a file called pkg.exe. In your case you don't have dart installed and thats why it can't build and find pkg.exe. For more info see https://dart.dev/.

[jcoonrod]

but is that something I can control or do I need to change your build files?

[quintenvandamme]

just install dart and rerun it

[nmcain]

The dap package can be disabled in menu config, make menuconfig, go to target packages - dahliaOS applications - and unselect dap

[jcoonrod]

Thanks for the quick responses! Installed dart. This is wonderfully mesmerizing watching it all stream by in the terminal. Have you all considered switching to the rust version of coreutils instead of the c ones?

[nmcain]

I'd certainly like to make the switch at some point, not sure how complete the rust coreutils are at this point, though.

[jcoonrod]

Oops - one more pre-requesite needed. /bin/bash: flutter: command not found make[1]: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:270: /home/john/buildroot/output/build/pangolin_desktop/.stamp_built] Error 127 make: *** [Makefile:84: _all] Error 2

Try try again! Oops - this one has me baffled - do I need to delete stuff before restarting make? fatal: destination path 'pangolin_desktop' already exists and is not an empty directory. make[1]: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:270: /home/john/buildroot/output/build/pangolin_desktop/.stamp_built] Error 128 make: *** [Makefile:84: _all] Error 2

[jcoonrod]

Ok - that sort of worked, then this happened: [ +4 ms] "flutter linux" took 2,668ms. [ +4 ms] Error: No pubspec.yaml file found. This command should be run from the root of your Flutter project. [ ]

[nmcain]

From here, when the pangolin step errors out, you'll need to rm -rf output/build/pangolin*, the script is not written to clean itself up.

[jcoonrod]

Yes, I did that - it led to some progress, but what do I do about the missing yaml file?

[nmcain]

The missing yaml file should not be causing a problem, you can try rm -rf dl/pangolin*&&rm -rf output/build/pangolin*

[jcoonrod]

Ok, had to issue another pre-requisite command: flutter config --enable-linux-desktop That let make get it to go pretty close to the end, and then it failed with make[1]: *** [fs/cpio/cpio.mk:75: /home/john/buildroot/output/images/rootfs.cpio] Error 137 make: *** [Makefile:84: _all] Error 2 Looked this up - an "Out of memory" error (I just have 4gig - will buy more tomorrow!)

[nmcain]

Yeah, this process is significantly resource intensive, but it looks like your build completed successfully and has moved on to image packaging. The CPIO image is only required for the legacy image - if you just want an EFI image, you can turn off CPIO and ISO9660 in filesystem options, I'm not sure how the BTRFS image tool works in low-memory environments. Thanks for making this issue, it will be a very helpful reference in making our builds completely reproducible :)

[jcoonrod]

Hello! OK! Installed more memory and the make completed with an iso and an img file in buildroot/output/images/dahliaOS - I used dd to create a bootable USB stick and it did a panic after finding no init. What should I try next ?

[larsb24]

Try source ~/.profile

[nmcain]

On the build machine, check that an init system is selected under target options

[jcoonrod]

I could not find that option in the config manager - Target options were just machine types like x64...
