`cmake --build . ` fails on ubuntu

[sluedtke]

• eovim --version: commit eb6afc9
• nvim --version | head -n1: NVIM v0.2.3-dev
• edje_cc --version: Version: 1.20.6

I get the install instructions running including point 3 cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

After that, point 4 fails with:

Any idea?

[jeanguyomarch]

Are you using msgpack bundled by Ubuntu? If I recall correctly, the msgpack package provided by ubuntu is obsolete. Have you tried running

./scripts/get-msgpack.sh

from the top source directory? It downloads and builds an up-to-date version of msgpack. It is not installed on your system (everything is kept in the .deps/ directory), but will be statically linked against eovim.

[sluedtke]

I have run command above but the error remains.

I purged the libmsgpack packages from my system, but by doing so I get an error that msgpack.h is missing ..

So I run command 3 again .. cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

and succeed ;-)

So it seems important to remove the system libmsgpack before step 3

[jeanguyomarch]

Nice :) This seems to be a bug from my side. When I try to detect msgpack I first look to see if I was locally fetch, and use this msgpack by default. As a fallback, the system msgpack would have been used. But it seems it does not work quite as expected, since you had to update your system. :/ I'll investigate that. Thanks for the report :)

[jeanguyomarch]

Okay, I'm now closing this :) I've added a setup script that exposes the steps necessary to have a working environment on ubuntu.

Hi there, sorry to open that ticket again but I fail again during the build, but with a different error.

I have no glue what is wrong. I run both, the setup.py script and get_msgpack.sh without errors (finaly) but the build fails.

Any help is appreciated.
