Unable to build telega-server

[chookity-pokk]

## Telega Setup
*OS*: KDE neon User - Plasma 25th Anniversary Edition
*Emacs*: GNU Emacs 27.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.20, cairo version 1.16.0)

When trying to build telega-server after building tdlib from source and installing telega from MELPA, I get the error at the bottom of this issue.

Telega Setup

OS: Linux hank 5.11.0-38-generic #42~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 28 20:41:07 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Emacs: 27.2 Telega: Installed from Melpa but when running telega-version I get an error because telega-server isn't in exec-path

1. Install telega
2. Build TDLib from source using the instruction here, https://zevlg.github.io/telega.el/index-master.html#building-tdlib
3. Run telega and select y when asked to build telega-server
4. Crashes with the below error log.

I saw an issue earlier that was basically the same and the issue was they didn't have TDLib built but I have built it successfully without any errors or warnings.

Don’t forget to install TDLib after building it

[chookity-pokk]

I ran sudo make install after building and get the output below.

Also worth noting, I've even restarted my system after doing an install.

Set telega-server-libs-prefix to "/home/hank/Development/td/build/../tdlib/" before running M-x telega-server-build RET

[chookity-pokk]

How would I do that?

[zevlg]

How would I do that?

Use setq, see https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/Using-setq.html for details

[zevlg]

@ragreenburg any success?

Sorry, I fell down a rabbit hole here because something unrelated was messing with my entire Emacs config. I got it to launch, plugged in my number and put in the code given then it sent me to this debug buffer:

This looks unrelated to the issue, I'm closing it
