Building the Windows Client Issues

[poik007]

Hello everyone, I've been trying to build the windows client for a few days now and I'm having some issues doing it. At first, I just want to build it as-is, without making any modification, but I always get stuck. I think that the guide http://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/1.4/building.html has some issues as well, either it's not finished or outdated in some fashion...

I started by adding the repositories for OpenSUSE12.2 (but the step that talks about http://pmbs.links2linux.org/download/mingw:/32/openSUSE_12.1/x86_64/mingw32-cross-nsis-plugin-processes-0-1.1.x86_64.rpm is broken, I had to find the same rpm somewhere else because the link has been dead for a few weeks now)

Then the generic build instructions, when I use mingw32-cmake on ocsync, I get that output:

linux-taib:/home/jtessier/win/ocsync-build # mingw32-cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ../ocsync

Then I run make and there's a bunch of text outputting (I won't paste it all because I don't think it's all relevant) and it seems to work (it doesn't fail, at least)

And then I go to build mirall with

mingw32-cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ../mirall -DCSYNC_BUILD_PATH=/home/jtessier/win/ocsync-build -DCSYNC_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/jtessier/win/ocsync/src -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/home/jtessier/win/mirall/admin/win/Toolchain-mingw32-openSUSE.cmake

And here's the output, there are some warnings here and there but it seems like it worked?

I'm not used to building stuff with cmake, but I know C++ errors when I see them :-1:

I'm kinda stuck there, I really wanted to play around with the source and see if I could make it do crazy things but being stuck on building the thing is really hindering my progress, thanks in advance :)

Guess you'd better use the maillist for questions like this, see: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud

Not sure, but intuition tell me you're on the wrong version of ocsync.

[ogoffart]

Is this the first error os is there a csync.h not found error before? But It could very well be the mismatch between the mirall version and the csync version. What are exactly the versions/branches you are building?

I'm getting the same issue on Fedora 19:

[ 7%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/owncloudsync.dir/mirall/folderman.cpp.o In file included from /home/kandrews/owncloud-build/mirall/src/mirall/folder.h:22:0, from /home/kandrews/owncloud-build/mirall/src/mirall/folderman.h:23, from /home/kandrews/owncloud-build/mirall/src/mirall/folderman.cpp:15: /home/kandrews/owncloud-build/mirall/src/mirall/csyncthread.h:57:40: error: ‘CSYNC_STATUS’ has not been declared static QString csyncErrorToString( CSYNC_STATUS); ^ make[2]: * [src/CMakeFiles/owncloudsync.dir/mirall/folderman.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: * [src/CMakeFiles/owncloudsync.dir/all] Error 2 make: *\ [all] Error 2

I'm using the following sources: git clone git://git.csync.org/users/freitag/csync.git ocsync git clone git://github.com/owncloud/mirall.git

Both running at master

Might be worth referencing these two issues and commit: https://github.com/owncloud/mirall/issues/1155 https://github.com/owncloud/mirall/commit/84a40dcb59d9c6b02390003cdd7e62d901973405#diff-1ec11ed609725d1ba54113a43d2d6cf0 https://github.com/owncloud/mirall/issues/1115

Also to prove this I can use git checkout v1.4.2 on the mirall directory and it compiles successfully, but still crashes after a few seconds of starting the binary. The crashing issue has been fixed but master can't compile at the moment.

You need to use the "ocsync" branch of csync

[Caffe1neAdd1ct]

Sorry on csync I checked out the dav branch as per the generic build guide (http://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/1.2/building.html#generic-build-instructions)

If this is what you mean by the ocsync branch then yes i'm already using it..

Same error for me. Any ideas?

[guruz]

csync has been merged into mirall. Could you retry?
