Ubuntu 18.04: cannot compile binary

[leder11011]

Previous git sources allowed me to generate mdless binary.
Now I only get errors:
Please give me a hint how to compile mdless binary!

You should be able to just run ‘rake package’. - Brett

Is there a reason you're not just using gem install mdless? I haven't made any significant changes that should break your ability to compile, but you're getting errors I can't explain without a more info on what you're trying to do.

[leder11011]

OK: fresh git clone installed mdless binary in bin folder. But I am unable to:

• delete bin folder
• compile binary mdless by myself

Any ideas? This should be possible in order not to checkout the binary, but do a git pull on the sources and implementing any changes by myself!

You shouldn’t be deleting the bin folder, it contains the base file for compiling. All I can tell you is that the rake tasks work fine on macOS. I can’t easily solve for differences in your setup. - Brett

Not sure about 18.04, but on ubuntu 20.04 it compiles and runs successfully. I did:
sudo apt install rake
rake package
sudo rake install

I previously had a snap installed for mdless - but it didn't like one of the terminal types I use. The one I compiled has no trouble with it.

I ended up with the snap install for mdless. Works as specified. Am Fr., 15. Okt. 2021 um 21:34 Uhr schrieb tomangert < ***@***.***>:

@ttscoff Ubuntu 18.04 is no longer supported since May of this year.

The Snap package is stuck back in the 1.0.3x days, so if people get the idea of using that from this issue, it's likely to lead to more confusion.

Maybe it's best to close this?
