linux build fails

[JR1994]

I am trying to build the client in Antergos. I am receiving the following error

/tmp/yaourt-tmp-rican-linux/aur-nextcloud-client-git/src/nextcloud-client/client/src/libsync/theme.cpp:33:39: fatal error: /tmp/yaourt-tmp-rican-1/aur-nextcloud-client-git/src/nextcloud-client/nextcloudtheme/nextcloudtheme.h: No such file or directory

I am not familiar with makepkg, but I noticed that your source seems to be in

/tmp/yaourt-tmp-rican-linux/aur-nextcloud-client-git/src/

whereas the build procedure tries to look for the header in:

/tmp/yaourt-tmp-rican-1/aur-nextcloud-client-git/src/

Where does the second path come from? Could it be some leftover from an earlier build attempt?

Hi Guys - we've been having the same issue in our office for a week now across all our new machines - and it's really causing us problems. Cannot complete the nextcloud-client build via the AUR no matter what we try. Please help!

@JR1994 @entropylabs , Why not use the PPA? Are you not on UBuntu or Debian?

[missioncontrolceo]

No - on Arch on all our machines.

This error occurs while building on Arch Linux and the current fix is to downgrade python-sphinx to version 1.5.1-2 via Arch Archive (currently in the AUR Version 1.5.1-1 of python-sphinx is recommended, but this failed the installation for me, Version 1.5.1-2 did the job).

Sources: AUR Arch Archive Repository for Phyton-Sphinx Direct Download Link for Version 1.5.1-2

@rippin93

currently in the AUR Version 1.5.1-1 of python-sphinx is recommended

It is actually version 1.5.5-1 which is recommended (cf. lerux's comment in the AUR). It works for me.

[enoch85]

Version 1.5.1-2 did the job

It works for me.

So this issue is solved?

[sylph1o]

@enoch85 : In my opinion, it is only a workaround. Although I have no other need of python-sphinx and can keep it at this older version, others may depend on a later version. Additionnally, if any Arch Linux user with a system up to date has to research this error and find this workaround before he can build successfully, it still seems to be an unsolved issue.

@sylph1o Thanks for pointing out my mistake, didn't even realize o.O

@enoch85 No this is just an arch workaround, you should update your code which uses python-sphinx to the current version which is 1.6.3 afaik.

@rippin93 Do you mean the code in the client itself, or do you mean the code in the instructions to build it?
