msbuild fail under opensuse

[red0bear]

i was trying to compile using last openssl and get this ...

Cannot get required symbol EC_KEY_set_public_key_affine_coordinates from libssl

[rainersigwald]

Can you provide a bit more detail about what command you were running, and how this error occurs? Ideally in the form of repro instructions.

[red0bear]

I just resolved this question formatting to more recent version from opensuse. now errors are another one during building. How could i set verbosity compiling to put here ?

[rainersigwald]

What are you trying to build? The MSBuild repo, or a project of your own?

Can you copy and paste the command line command you're using and its output?

[red0bear]

here the firstoutput : output_compiling.txt

Possibly related to https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/pull/3528/files#diff-4d3fc7780500131817fceb95ddcea3fe.

@cdmihai What causes NETStandard.Library version 2.0.3 to be restored? AFAIK the implicit reference from our version of the SDK is 2.0.2. But of course it works on our machines and CI . . .

[red0bear]

what command could i try to solve this ?

[rainersigwald]

@red0bear Can you try to check out an earlier commit, like d4e8d81 and build that? That would help narrow down whether it's a recently introduced problem.

[red0bear]

git command to back to that version please.

[rainersigwald]

git checkout d4e8d81

[red0bear]

Roger that.

AFAIK it happens magically in the SDK: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/fd24f4b3df6d4839b03f0481677743ccf0d816b8/src/Tasks/Microsoft.NET.Build.Tasks/targets/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.DefaultItems.props#L38-L46

[red0bear]

Seems tests doesn't pass .... output_compiling.txt

[red0bear]

second one ...
output_compiling.txt

[rainersigwald]

Can you share the .log files that are mentioned in the warnings?

XUnit : warning : /run/media/felipe/FFCOSTA/PROGRAMAS/msbuild/build/../artifacts/2/Debug/TestResults/Microsoft.Build.Utilities.UnitTests_netcoreapp2.0_x64.log [netcoreapp2.0|x64] [/run/media/felipe/FFCOSTA/PROGRAMAS/msbuild/src/Utilities.UnitTests/Microsoft.Build.Utilities.UnitTests.csproj]

There should also be a .xml file with the same base name next to each of them; that would also be helpful.

[red0bear]

right here Microsoft.Build.zip

[red0bear]

Some progress there ? Im curious .

[rainersigwald]

The error is

So it looks like your machine (or maybe just opensuse in general) has /usr/bin before /bin in PATH, and the test is broken for that case. It'd probably be better for the test to compare against the output of which sh instead of hardcoding /bin/sh as the expected result.

We'd happily take such a fix if you're interested in contributing it.

[red0bear]

But i need to set this path ? i wish to test here then.

[red0bear]

here in /etc/shells

/bin/ash
/bin/bash
/bin/csh
/bin/dash
/bin/false
/bin/ksh
/bin/ksh93
/bin/mksh
/bin/pdksh
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/true
/bin/zsh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/dash
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/ksh93
/usr/bin/mksh
/usr/bin/passwd
/usr/bin/pdksh
/usr/bin/bash
/usr/bin/tcsh
/usr/bin/zsh
/usr/bin/fish

[rainersigwald]

What's echo $PATH say?

[red0bear]

/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin root

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin: user

[rainersigwald]

That user path confirms my suspicion.

The failing test does

https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/blob/5b306279d417df77c2434a881660b5fcf4a1f266/src/Utilities.UnitTests/ToolTask_Tests.cs#L684-L690

But with your PATH, that's not correct.

As I mentioned, we'd gladly take a patch for that, or you can ignore this test failure for now.

[red0bear]

So if i ignore tests this will pass ..... good to know. Just more one question. To compile and execute msbuild projects under linux do you have a good wiki to suggest ?

[rainersigwald]

Are you interested in building this repo, or code of your own?

Docs for our repo are at https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/blob/master/documentation/wiki/Building-Testing-and-Debugging-on-.Net-Core-MSBuild.md#unix

For the more generic case, I would recommend the .NET Core docs at https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/get-started-with-dotnet-tutorial.

Or do you have a specific thing you're trying to do?

[red0bear]

I wish to compile this project to test: https://github.com/BigBitsYouTube/BitMEXAssistant/tree/master/BitMEXAssistant

[red0bear]

the problem to me is where is dotnet is built and msbuild ..... or dotnet have already msbuild on line command. .....

[rainersigwald]

You don't generally need to build dotnet or MSBuild if you just want to build some .NET code. I would start with the openSUSE installation instructions at https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/get-started-with-dotnet-tutorial, which will get you a working copy of MSBuild that you can use to build projects.

I took a quick look at that project, though, and I'm not sure it's .NET Core compatible. It may only build on Windows at the moment.

[red0bear]

The problem i have opensuse leap 15.0 ........ you still on 42.2

[rainersigwald]

Oh, I see. https://github.com/dotnet/core-setup/issues/4413 may be related.

You can download a tarball of the .NET Core SDK from https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/dotnet-core/2.1.

[red0bear]

@rainersigwald , sorry for not respond ... im busy here too.

Well i see msbuild have a good potential . But i think people should use cmake with big structures to compile. I have been looking around and people make things too much hard to people today. Well i see good effort to make easy to build ... but the big question is what tool to build big things to do the hard work easy ?

The dotnet2.1 fails to build the simple program because dependencies. Well i will keep watching guys your work. ;-)

[red0bear]

I did it but with ./build.sh -skipTests ... i build good. but i need know where msbuild stay and a simple example.

[rainersigwald]

Should be fixed by #6055.
