[v4.0.0-pre.0] No rule to make target out/Release/obj.target/libsos/ext/sos/src/sos.o', needed by out/Release/obj.target/libsos.a'

[chris48s]

Hi. I'm trying to compile v4.0.0-pre.0 from https://github.com/apiaryio/drafter/archive/v4.0.0-pre.0.tar.gz as a shared library on Ubuntu linux. I'm able to get v3.2.7 from https://github.com/apiaryio/drafter/releases/download/v3.2.7/drafter-v3.2.7.tar.gz working OK, but v4.0.0-pre.0 is giving me:

$ ./configure --shared
creating ./config.gypi
creating ./config.mk
creating makefiles
All OK.

$ make libdrafter
make -C ./build V=1 libdrafter
make[1]: Entering directory `/path/to/stuff/drafter-4.0.0-pre.0/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `out/Release/obj.target/libsos/ext/sos/src/sos.o', needed by `out/Release/obj.target/libsos.a'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/path/to/stuff/drafter-4.0.0-pre.0/build'
make: *** [libdrafter] Error 2

The release notes specify GCC 5.3 or higher, but here's my GCC details, just in case:

$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to C, so it is possible I am missing something obvious. Any advice would be appreciated

Can you try the link https://github.com/apiaryio/drafter/releases/download/v4.0.0-pre.0/drafter-4.0.0-pre.0.tar.gz to download the source. The one you grabbed doesn't include some of the git submodule dependencies as GitHub computes the tarball without them. I've just uploaded the complete 4.0.0-pre.0 tarball.

Hi. Thanks for updating that, but now the new archive seems to be missing the /tools dir. I'm getting

$ ./configure --shared
creating ./config.gypi
creating ./config.mk
creating makefiles
/usr/bin/python: can't open file 'tools/gyp/gyp_main.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

trying to build from that.

You're right about the submodules though. If I grab the source like this

$ git clone --recursive git://github.com/apiaryio/drafter.git
$ cd drafter
$ git checkout tags/v4.0.0-pre.0

instead of using the release download, then I'm able to compile this version.

Oh I see, that's a good point. Our script to generate tarball doesn't include tools as that directory was separate scripts which wasn't needed for building source. That changed in 4.0 so we will need to update the script https://github.com/apiaryio/drafter/blob/master/tools/make-tarball.sh#L32.

I'll update the script over the next few days and re-publish the tarball. Thanks for reporting.

This has been fixed in master.
