How to Build: Debian Jessie

[tflanagan]

I've installed 0.12.5 via apt, so I know it's possible.

But I cannot for the life of me get it to compile via source.

Do you have exact steps to build this? I've looked at various issues, but none are helping.

Various attempts: From #12:

From #7

****@****:~/packaging$ ./build package-docker ../wkhtmltopdf release
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./build", line 297, in <module>

    func(yaml.load(f.read()), **args)
  File "./build", line 116, in package_docker
    if config['docker-targets'][target].get('qemu'):

Any help would be appreciated.

(Yes, I've properly cloned the wkhtmltopdf and qt repos)

What's the OS you're running it on and the versions of dependent tools i.e. python and docker? You should be able to generate a build using ./build package-docker jessie-amd64 ~/wkhtmltopdf (not sure if an absolute path is required, I always used one).

I've tried a couple relative and absolute paths, results in the same error:

I think the docker version is too old, can you check with the latest version? It works when running from Ubuntu 18.04.

[tflanagan]

@ashkulz Thanks for the quick response - I'll give it a try on a newer machine and report back

[tflanagan]

Ah, yes - I am a noob when it comes to docker's ecosystem. Updating docker has resolved this exit code failure.

Thanks again.

[ashkulz]

docker 1.6.2 is from 2015, guess a lot has changed...

[tflanagan]

Yea the official source lists for Debian are a bit dated for Docker...
