[ Solved ] Help building required #1

JustineSmithies commented 2024年07月25日 14:06:58 +02:00

I'm trying to build this tool on Chimera Linux which uses musl but I am struggling.
I can build most other things but this one has me stumped.
What dependencies are required or what am I missing ?

I just git clone the repo then from inside try doas make install
But I keep getting the following error ?

client-header protocols/dwl-ipc-unstable-v2.xml dwl-ipc-unstable-v2-protocol.h
make: exec(client-header) failed (No such file or directory)
*** Error code 1
Stop.
make: stopped making "install" in /home/justine/Git/dwlmsg

Any help would be very much appreciated.

TIA
Justine

The problem is that path for wayland-scanner was not outputted by pkg-config.

That Assesment was wrong from me. The issue was bsd bmake not supporting $(shell syntax for executing shell commands and then also not supporting $^ for getting the sources.

Solved

As I'm on Chimera-Linux which uses bmake ( BSD ) instead of GNU make this caused issues.
With the help of @Rutherther I have finally got it to work using the following modified Makefile

Just noticed another issue with the Makefile . So far I have been only installing it locally as I was testing it's use first.
But just went to run doas make clean install and it fails on the install for me on Chimera Linux ( BSD userland tools ).
To fix it I replaced the line as follows:

BINS = dwlmsg
PREFIX ?= /usr/local
CFLAGS += -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter
all: $(BINS)
clean:
	rm -f $(BINS) *.o *-protocol.*
install: all
	# install -D -t $(PREFIX)/bin $(BINS)
	cp -f $(BINS) $(PREFIX)/bin/
WAYLAND_PROTOCOLS = `pkg-config --variable=pkgdatadir wayland-protocols`
WAYLAND_SCANNER = `pkg-config --variable=wayland_scanner wayland-scanner`
dwlmsg: dwlmsg.o dwl-ipc-unstable-v2-protocol.o
	$(CC) dwlmsg.o dwl-ipc-unstable-v2-protocol.o -lwayland-client -o $@
dwlmsg.o: dwlmsg.c dwl-ipc-unstable-v2-protocol.h
dwl-ipc-unstable-v2-protocol.h:
	$(WAYLAND_SCANNER) client-header \
		protocols/dwl-ipc-unstable-v2.xml $@
dwl-ipc-unstable-v2-protocol.c:
	$(WAYLAND_SCANNER) private-code \
		protocols/dwl-ipc-unstable-v2.xml $@

What is the error on install?

What is the error on `install`?

install: /usr/local/bin/: is not a regular file

Also the -t option doesn't exist on a BSD setup so took a look at other GNU / BSD Makefiles and figured cp -f was the best option.

does your version of cp support -t?
