Unable to build: collect2 errors with "ld: cannot find -lGL" #40

Closed jwflory closed 4 years ago

Summary

make build does not successfully build the project

Background

I tried to build the project today on Fedora 32 with Go v1.14.2. Running make build starts to pull in dependencies for the build, but then collect2 fails. I'm not enough of a Go developer to figure out why.

This blocks me from packaging ProtonMail Bridge for Fedora and EPEL (CentOS/RHEL).

Details

There is a short-term fix and long-term fix I see:

Short-term fix: Figure out reason for build failure in stacktrace (below) and reproduce a clean build of ProtonMail Bridge

This gets me to successfully build proton-bridge in a way I can partially package for Fedora, but still makes it difficult to follow because of Fedora's Golang Packaging Guidelines.

Long-term fix: Better separation and reproducibility of build steps

It would be better for me as a packager if proton-bridge worked with the Golang Packaging Guidelines and macros in Fedora. Being able to go get the application and automatically detect dependencies from go.sum would require less hacking together on my end. It would be easier to package.

Outcome

@jwflory can successfully reproduce a build of proton-bridge for packaging in Linux distributions

Hi, the build issue with make build is likely solved by https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge/issues/20. Can you confirm?

@jameshoulahan Installing the dependencies fixed the build issue. I was able to replicate locally. Closing this issue!
