mmm that's abseil submodule missing, somehow
I'll have a look tomorrow, see if I can replicate
Thanks!!
actually, I just tried it and everything works as described in the readme ¯\(ツ)/¯
Ok, I think I know what happened...
If you've just heard about DROPS and you're so excited that you just go straight to the 'Code' button on ye olde Github page you get this:
git clone https://github.com/clearly-broken-software/drops.git
So no recursey you just get drops without subbies! If you then re-run the command with --recursive for some reason it doesn't pull in the submodules to the original git repo you just cloned on your computer and apparently manually running init and update also doesn't quite get the job done like it should..
So the moral of the story is... don't ever get excited about anything...EVER! And never just clone a git repo without scrolling down and reading the instructions slowly and carefully. I will declare this closed and NEVER speak again....*blushes
Hi,
Trying to build DROPS from github source on AV Linux MX Edition (based on Debian Buster) and having issues..
Issue 1: Repository clones without submodules and no documented instruction that git submodule commands are needed to fetch all the required sources. 'git clone --recursive' doesn't fetch everything. So I ran the submodule init and updated them but then encountered build errors.
Issue 2: Build fails with this message:
