unable to install from source on debian

[blackbasket]

Hi guys,

I need a srs-aware mail server asap, but I am to stupid to get this working.

Debian 12 postfix 3.7.6

I tried with the old v1-package as well with the actual sources. If I try to build from the sources, I am getting this error:

/opt/postsrsd-2.0.8/_build/_deps/check-src/src/check_print.c:59:22: error: ‘CK_SUBUNIT’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Libraries have been installed in:
   /opt/postsrsd-2.0.8/_build/ExtConfuse-prefix/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

What do I have to do?

I have it running with v1 now. Therefore the users will be happy. But I do not close the issue, because there should be any reason for the error.

[roehling]

Can you post all the commands you ran to build from source, in particular the cmake and make (or ninja) invocation.

[roehling]

I have never experienced this type of build failure, but Google came up with this issue, which sounds like something that could affect you.

[blackbasket]

I used the commands as written in the readme... before this I installed cmake, pkgconf and libconfuse-dev...

mkdir _build && cd _build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
make -j
sudo make install

I will give it a try... but it may take some days...

[roehling]

No problem, take your time.

Another option would be to disable unit tests by passing -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF to cmake, which will skip building libcheck completely.

I tried this already... make install cmd fails anyway... or do I have to set this in the install-cmd, too?
