/etc/bash_completion.d may not exist on macos

[michaelshumshum]

hey there sir.
this is a great project you got going.
anyway, I'm tryna get this to work on mac and need some help after the building it.

running mono build/steamguard gives me error: No accounts read.

running the one after that is has the same outcome.

running make -f makefile.macos install gives me error
cp: /etc/bash_completion.d/steamguard: No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1

in the installation section, i don't even know what to do. i don't think I'm supposed to do the debian package part and the sudo make install gives me the same error as before.

I'm not that experienced with this kinda stuff so any help would be appreciated.

I don't exactly have a mac to test with, and I'm not super familiar with the platform. The documentation and makefile was provided by @spkane.

That being said, mono build/steamguard should give error: No accounts read if you haven't set up any accounts yet. By default, it looks for a manifest file with all the accounts at the path ~/maFiles/manifest.json. If you've used SDA, you should just be able to use the same maFiles from that. If not, you can set up a new account with mono bin/steamguard setup.

Does /etc/bash_completion.d exist on mac?

[michaelshumshum]

/etc/bash_completion.d doesn't exist at all. there is a file named bash_completion.

[dyc3]

As a workaround, you could create it. I don't know if that will actually make the bash completion work, but it's not required for the actual program to work.

ok thanks for the help.
though, one thing I'm encountering while doing the steamguard setup is adding the phone number returns GeneralFailure. i get an email to confirm adding this phone number. should i just added my phone number to the account manually then?

[dyc3]

That's probably #41

[michaelshumshum]

the bash_completion.d has been pushed and it seems to work fine on my side.

HI,
Generally, software built locally should be installed to the /usr/local prefix (on all unix systems). Therefore, bash completion scripts should be installed to /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d. This path exists on my system, but do note that I had installed it with homebrew.

Closing because it's no longer relevant.
