building depends fails on Fedora

[erciccione]

Describe the issue

I'm trying to build on Fedora 37 following these instructions: https://github.com/firoorg/firo#build-firo and trying to build using the second option (with GUI wallet).

After i cd into the depends folder and run make, the build fails with this error:

checking for libevent directory... configure: WARNING: Could not find a linkable libevent.  If you have it installed somewhere unusual, you can specify an explicit path using --with-libevent-dir
configure: WARNING: On Fedora, you can install libevent using "dnf install libevent"
configure: WARNING:    You will probably need to install libevent-devel too.
configure: error: Missing libraries; unable to proceed.
make: *** [funcs.mk:283: firo/firo/depends/work/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/tor/0.4.7.7-16f6f2781b4/./.stamp_configured] Error 1

both libevent and libevent-devel are correctly installed.

Do you have the config.log from the directory where tor was built?

[erciccione]

I have it. Any particular part that you want to see? I could show all of it, but i will need to redact it first, since it contains extensive information about my local system.

[psolstice]

Most important info is the information regarding compiler flags that were used to compile the unit that failed. Normally config.log doesn't contain a lot of sensitive info (though in some rare cases it can). Also it'd be useful to know if environment variables for compilation set to non-empty values (CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc). And of course the compiler error message is important.

[erciccione]

@psolstice probably easier if i send you the full log privately. What's the better way to contact you?

Please try to build the branch named libevent-upgrade to see if it fixes the problem

Side note: I tried to build depends inside a docker container running Ubuntu 22.04 and had no issues.

[psolstice]

Ok, thanks for the feedback! I will try to do Fedora build myself

[erciccione]

Same error when trying to run precompiled binaries. I opened a dedicated issue #1247

[psolstice]

I've fixed some error with depends build (see libevent-upgrade branch). But because a lot has changed in depends the daemon now can't be built, I'm in progress of fixing it. Will take a look at binary problem Thanks for reporting a problem!

[psolstice]

Please try this one https://github.com/firoorg/firo/pull/1250

[justanwar]

Fixed in #1250
