Depedency unresolvably #343

Closed Tombert closed 5 years ago

Tombert commented 5 years ago

When I try adding the protobuf-c library, I get the error that the library is unresolvable.

Description

I want to add the library "protobuf-c" to my project, but when I do I get the "unresolvable" error

Expected Behavior

Adding the library to the manifest

Actual Behavior

Adding library fails

Steps to Reproduce

➜   buckaroo add github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c@branch=master
info Adding dependency on github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c at branch=master
[solver] info Trying github.com/buckaroo-pm/ericniebler-range-v3 at branch=master
[git] info Fetching refs from https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c.git

[git] info Fetching refs from https://github.com/buckaroo-pm/ericniebler-range-v3.git
[git] success Fetched 49 refs in 0.123
error Failed to add the dependency

Context

I need to use regular C for this project (not C++), and I was hoping to use this to manage the protobuf C library.

Your Environment

Ubuntu Linux 18.10, AMD Ryzen CPU, zsh,

gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 8.2.0-7ubuntu1) 8.2.0
➜   buckaroo version  
2.2.0

Hi @Tombert

It looks like there is no buckaroo.toml file in github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c at master.

Ah, I was under the erroneous impression that buckaroo would work on random C libraries doing some kind of chroot thing or something...Clearly I was mistaken!

Thanks for your help. Looks like I'll need to either fork protobuf-c and add the buckaroo config or figure out another way to do what I need.

Yes unfortunately there is no magic solution!

We did consider a chroot approach but this would not work on Windows and doesn't benefit from remote caching.

Yes this is correct. Let me know if you get stuck.

I don't consider not working on Windows to be a bug :)

Anyway, I think I have an idea on how to do it with a chroot on my Raspberry Pi. Thanks for your help, you can feel free to close the issue.
