Unable to build on ubuntu 23.10

[Voronsky]

Currently trying to build this fah-client on Ubuntu 23.10.

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=23.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=mantic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 23.10"

And it seems I run into the following error while doing this build step scons -C fah-client-bastet

What I did

• 

• Ran the

  • I can do the scons -C cbang
  • I fail when I do scons -C fah-client-bastet

  What I expected

  • After completing all the build steps, I would end up with a fah-client-*.deb to install.

[jcoffland]

The problem is that your system has a static version of libsystemd that requires libcap but that library is not being linked. Try running this to finish the build:

[jcoffland]

I've committed a change to cbang to look for libcap when libsystemd is linked. You might want to try that.

[marcosfrm]

Ubuntu 23.10+ now ships a static libsystemd.a in libsystemd-dev. Upstream does not encourage its usage:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/v255/README#L311-L321

We should prefer the shared one.

[jcoffland]

You can build with: scons prefer_dynamic=systemd

[Voronsky]

You can build with: scons prefer_dynamic=systemd

This solved it! I assume this will also be an issue for users who will be using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ? I believe that is set to go into beta later this Month

[marcosfrm]

You can build with: scons prefer_dynamic=systemd

Can we add systemd to PREFER_DYNAMIC by default? It is a core library and both DEB and RPM packages automatically add proper versioned dependency.

[jcoffland]

I did recently change the defaults such that the option mostly_static is no longer defaulted true. That makes prefer_dynamic unnecessary.

The whole reason for mostly_static builds is that the binaries tend to run on more Linux systems If you're building the package for a specific version of a Linux distro then static linking is not necessary. Even though there are risks to static linking it usually lets you cover more OS releases with one package.

Ideally, now that the client is Open-Source, we'd get someone to add native packages to major Linux distributions. The only possible hang up is that the client downloads the cores which are not 100% Open-Source. I believe this is forbidden by distros such as Debian.

[marcosfrm]

Right... https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-client-bastet/commit/2ca272ee0e3a586d58e3fee684f26639aebad072.

https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-client-bastet/blob/a14225b5c9ca891b5ad79916d0468de1ad7d4bf1/SConstruct#L54

Is this still useful now?

[jcoffland]

Yes, it's useful when we do a mostly_static build.
