Build breaks: cp: ./ls-tree.lst: No such file or directory

[yurivict]

I build on FreeBSD 13.2 from a tarball, not a git repository.

Either the build is broken from tarballs, or perhaps some shell command fails and causes this.

[tim-janik]

The tarball builds are ok. The latest nightly that was just built a few hours ago was built directly from the generated tarball.
You can upload the full build log here and I can take a peak. Make sure to build with make V=1 so the actual shell commands can be seen.
Does npm & electronjs work on FreeBSD BTW?
Both are needed for a build.

I'm referring to dist tarballs, not the github snapshots:

https://github.com/tim-janik/anklang/releases/download/v0.2.0.nightly2309212136/anklang-0.2.0.nightly2309212136.tar.zst

[tim-janik]

Note that the latest CI build (which is not a nightly) succeeded and produced a (largish) assets.zip file. Within that, there is a dist tarball that already has the '/usr/bin/env bash' fix applied for #17.

Apparently realpath fails.
When some command fails - the whole batch should fail. Continuing after a failed command in shell scripts is a problem.

[tim-janik]

The shell scripts do fail, they have set -Ee, this one is probably in the Makefile setup:

$ git -P grep realpath
Makefile.mk:# if 'realpath --relative-to' is missing, os.path.realpath could be used as fallback
Makefile.mk:build2srcdir         != realpath --relative-to $(builddir) .

The project is using GNU-isms in a lot of places (realpath --relative-to is part of GNU coreutils): realpath --relative-to

Either the build is broken from tarballs, or perhaps some shell command fails and causes this.

On a related note...
I don't know if electronjs works on FreeBSD, but if the majority of npm packages can be made to work, the UI could also run inside a regular web browser.
I'm exploring that in another repo: https://github.com/tim-janik/web-mode https://github.com/tim-janik/webhead
If that could be ported to FreeBSD, we could use it as a drop-on for Electron, since Anklang does not depend on the Nodejs integration of Electron.

The last run now has a separate dist-tarball in a smaller archive:

Since there has been no activity here lately, I'll close this. Please re-open if you have further questions...
