missing common.h file

[spiralz]

common.h file appears to be missing. after ./bootstrap && ./configure --prefix="/usr" the following error is generated:

$ make
Making all in help
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
Making all in src
  CC       otr-formats.lo

Hm, clang, I guess we don't support that at the moment..

[dgoulet]

This is a file that is from "irssi-dev" package. I feel there is an issue with the include path and clang because if you got to the make process it means the configure found irssi dev headers.

I just started with experimenting with building irssi, libotr, and irssi-otr from source. I encountered the same include problem. I am using the script below to modify some of the build scripts to get around the problem, maybe this will help you as well.

set -x

Also having this problem. Would love to see a resolution or a know working work around.

[WouterSioen]

+1 (install on osx)

[DrWhax]

so this problem exists on MacOSX and other *BSD's?

[WouterSioen]

I guess so. Clang is the default compiler for Mac OS X, so I guess this is the problem.

[JohnCanty]

I just ran into this as well. Would love to get this working.

[WouterSioen]

@dgoulet any news on this? (I'm using irssi 0.8.17 on mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5)

[hanshasselberg]

I am running into this as well. I installed irssi with brew install irssi --HEAD. I got a little bit further by doing the following:

1. remove -z,relro,-z,now from configure.ac because -z is not support in osx.
2. clone irssi somewhere
3. copy some irssi header files to root irssi dir: cp src/*.h . and cp src/irssi/*.h .
4. back to irssi-otr to ./configure --prefix="/usr/local" --with-irssi-headers=~/src/github.com/irssi/irssi
5. make

For me it builds now. I am aware that this is not pretty. Unfortunately sudo make install fails now. I am not sure how to install manually, shouldn't be a big deal though.

[hanshasselberg]

ok, providing a destdir got me further:

$ make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/destdir
$ find destdir
destdir
destdir/usr
destdir/usr/lib
destdir/usr/lib/irssi
destdir/usr/lib/irssi/modules
destdir/usr/lib/irssi/modules/libotr.so
destdir/usr/share
destdir/usr/share/irssi
destdir/usr/share/irssi/help
destdir/usr/share/irssi/help/otr

[hanshasselberg]

I copied destdir/usr/lib/irssi/modules/libotr.so to ~/.irssi/modules and tried to load it with /load otr: Irssi: otr/otr is ABI version 0 but Irssi is version 1, cannot load

[hanshasselberg]

I added the irssi abi check to src/otr.c:

void otr_abicheck(int *version)
{
  *version = 1;
}

recompiled and now I can load it.

Make sure you point configure to a directory with irssi headers - the one with irssi-config.h irssi-version.h src.

For me (FreeBSD) --with-irssi-headers=/usr/local/include/irssi was enough.
