Building from source fails (linux) #1028

Closed yucombinator closed 1 year ago

yucombinator commented 2 years ago

It seems like building from source for a linux machine.

When I am running the ./autogen.sh step as detailed the install page: https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html

I am running in this error:

Assessing zlib...
Download with http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz -> /tmp/fbcode_builder_getdeps-ZmntZdev1749ZwatchmanZbuildZfbcode_builder-root/downloads/zlib-zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz ...
TransientFailure: Failed to download http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz to /tmp/fbcode_builder_getdeps-ZmntZdev1749ZwatchmanZbuildZfbcode_builder-root/downloads/zlib-zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

It seems like zlib download at http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz has been removed and no longer works, and needs to be updated to a working URL for the build script to work again.

I believe this is fixed now.

But can you tell me your Linux distribution if you're still having trouble? Also, check out the new installation instructions, where we have RPMs and DEBs for Ubuntu and Fedora: https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html
