Can't suppress the cache for rerunning a failed installation #41

Closed vdegenne closed 4 months ago

vdegenne commented 4 months ago

I try to build wayfire from the master branch using this convenient script however during the first run I got this error: image From the error I understand I need wayland-protocols >= 1.32 but It seems I'm on 1.24 only, so I installed wayland-protocols 1.34 on my system and tried to run the script again, but as you can see from the capture everything is cache and the installation process still think I am using wayland-protocols 1.24 which now I know is not true. I can't find a way to reset the cache, I tried to delete the repository and clone again but the error is there again. I'm not familiar with meson, wlroots or whatever cause this error to persist. I'm looking for your help, thanks

Try adding the -c flag when running wf-install, it will remove everything from previous build attempts.

Also it is possible that the caching happens because wayfire first checked for wayland-protocols and then the subproject wlroots also does the same ...

Yes I tried the -c flag before but it doesn't change anything. I found out the reason I had a pkgconfig file at /usr/local/share/pkgconfig/wayland-protocols.pc which was seen as a cache file. I temporarily renamed this file and could advance to the next error of the build.

Alright, I hope you figure it out :) I will close this issue for now since I don't think there is anything wf-install can do.
