Cannot compile: No SOURCES given to target: libshared

[Mebus]

Hallo,

after downloading the version 3.0.0 tar archive I tried to build it on Fedora 38, but I get this error message:

→ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release .
-- Configuring C++17

-- Looking for libshared

CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:31 (add_library):

CMake Generate step failed.  Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.

What is this libshared and how can I get it?

Thanks

Kind regards

It's https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/libshared/, and is imported as a submodule into this repo. But, I would not expect the build process to be cloning it!

Did you download task-3.0.0.tar.gz or the "Source code (.tar.gz)" link? The former is the one you want. The latter is provided automatically by GitHub, and just contains a copy of the Git repo (and not libshared).

Hey djmitche,

yeah, I had downloaded this tar:

https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/archive/refs/tags/v3.0.0.tar.gz

When I use your tag v3.0.0 and do a git submodule init I can compile taskwarrior.

I tried this tar, too:

https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/releases/download/v3.0.0/task-3.0.0.tar.gz

But the latter one gives me this error:

The latter is expected and will be fixed in the next release - see #3294. Just removing that line from Cargo.toml should fix the error for you.

Unfortunately, there's no way to disable the GitHub-provided tarballs and zip files.
