I can't build 3.0 on ubuntu (pop_os)

[simonlearnscoding]

I downloaded 3.0 and running cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release I get and 101 error on the call stack _deps/corrosion-src/cmake/CorrosionGenerator.cmake

Could you copy/paste the whole error?

@simonlearnscoding
You should also opt for an out-of-source build over e.g.
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

More detail can be seen in Development.md.

hey I just wanted to tell you that I was able to build by pulling and then checking out the stable branch but it seems like the default download link that is provided in the website might not link to stable by default

[djmitche]

Oh, I bet you downloaded the zip or tar file provided automatically by GitHub? The task-x y.z.tar.gz is the only one that works. The others are just the result of git archive.

[felixschurk]

I guess he was refering to the link on the homepage for the downloads, there still is the 3.0.0 in tar.gz linked as latest stable.
The link leads to https://taskwarrior.org/download/task-3.0.0.tar.gz

[simonlearnscoding]

Yes exactly that's where I got it from

You'll want to install 3.0.2 from https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/releases/tag/v3.0.2.

It looks like GothenburgBitFactory/tw.org#800 fixes a bug that was causing taskwarrior.org not to update. And, GothenburgBitFactory/tw.org#801 adds 3.0.2 to the site.

It seems this is a duplicate of #3294. It's helpful when reporting an error to include the entire error, as text. That would have helped us narrow this down sooner!
