Issues with installation

[nikssardana]

Hi I tried to install sarah on my Ubuntu machine using the steps mentioned in the readme. However, I can't install it.

Python and other dependencies were installed successfully using apt-get and pip.

The output of "make" command is: valac -o libsarah.so --library=sarah -H ./bin/sarah.h --gir=Sarah-1.0.gir -X -shared -X -fPIC --pkg libpeas-1.0 --pkg gmodule-2.0 sarah.vala -d ./bin /home/niks/Downloads/sarah/sarah-master/bin/sarah.vala.c: In function ‘sarah_core_list’: /home/niks/Downloads/sarah/sarah-master/bin/sarah.vala.c:273:9: warning: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers] _tmp1_ = peas_engine_get_plugin_list (_tmp0_); ^ /home/niks/Downloads/sarah/sarah-master/bin/sarah.vala.c:314:24: warning: '#' flag used with ‘%s’ gnu_printf format [-Wformat=] fprintf (_tmp10_, "%#s \t %#s\n", _tmp12_, _tmp14_); ^ /home/niks/Downloads/sarah/sarah-master/bin/sarah.vala.c:314:24: warning: '#' flag used with ‘%s’ gnu_printf format [-Wformat=] /home/niks/Downloads/sarah/sarah-master/bin/sarah.vala.c: In function ‘sarah_app_init’: /home/niks/Downloads/sarah/sarah-master/bin/sarah.vala.c:525:63: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘_vala_string_array_contains’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers] if (_vala_string_array_contains (_tmp13_, _tmp13__length1, _tmp12_)) { ^ /home/niks/Downloads/sarah/sarah-master/bin/sarah.vala.c:464:17: note: expected ‘gchar * {aka char *}’ but argument is of type ‘const gchar * {aka const char *}’ static gboolean _vala_string_array_contains (gchar** stack, int stack_length, gchar* needle) { ^ g-ir-compiler --shared-library=libsarah.so ./bin/Sarah-1.0.gir -o ./bin/Sarah-1.0.typelib valac -o sarah main.vala -b . --vapidir ./bin --pkg libpeas-1.0 --pkg sarah -X -I./bin -X -L./bin -X -lsarah -d ./bin valac -o libhello.so --library=hello ./plugins/vala-extension-demo/vala-extension.vala -X -shared -X -fPIC --vapidir ./bin --pkg sarah --pkg libpeas-1.0 -X -I./bin -X -L./bin -X -lsarah -d ./bin/plugins/vala-extension-demo/

And the output of "make install" command is: cp -rf ./plugins/* ./bin/plugins/ cd ./bin

there isw nothing wrong friend this is just warnings so just complete the steps in the README file but switch to the bin folder first before doing ./sarah

Hey

I tried it and ran sarah first python

But it shows this error: ./sarah: error while loading shared libraries: libsarah.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[semicode-ltd]

do : export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. export GI_TYPELIB_PATH=. and try : ./sarah hi first plugin is not completed or check the current completed plugins using the command : ./sarah list

[nikssardana]

Hey I did as you mentioned. Still no plugin is working. ./sarah list gave me the following output: ` (process:4655): libpeas-WARNING **: Could not find 'Module' in '[Plugin]' section in './plugins/youtube/youtube.plugin'

you are using an old repo build with empty plugins clean the repo again and try now

As @semicode-ltd said, you'll need to re-clone the repo then you can build without any issues (we hope).
