[Koha-devel] Build the easy way throws error

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Probably a good idea to use koha-dpkg, as I think that’s fairly widely used now. 

 

However, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try https://gitlab.com/minusdavid/koha-deb-builder-docker. 

 

It probably won’t work the first time, as I’m having issues where some dependencies (libcache-perl libconvert-basen-perl libcrypt-gcrypt-perl liblocale-maketext-lexicon-perl) aren’t being automagically detected. But if you install those manually in the Docker container and then run the build script, it should work a treat. (One of these days I’ll investigate that dependency issue. They’re missing from the Debian control file but in theory koha-dpkg doesn’t have this problem.)

 

Personally, I use koha-deb-builder-docker (which I wrote), because I use Windows as my host, and I recall having issues running older versions of koha-dpkg on it. I haven’t had much luck mounting Windows based Git repositories into Docker containers. In this case, you can do your dev work anywhere, export a Koha tarball, and then provide that to koha-deb-builder-docker. 

 

Anyway, I’m use koha-dpkg will meet your needs. 

 

(Also, I imagine warnings about “connection to Memcached server failed” will just be warnings and not errors. I think they can safely be ignored, since you shouldn’t need a real Memcached server running when doing a build/running unit tests…)

I recommend you try the koha-dpkg docker image.

Hehe, silly me!
i used a mounted directory from the host system within the virtualbox
guest. May be some write permission issues occured. The mounted
directory lays on an ext4 partition.

Using ~/.debian as directory (as described in the tutorial) was the
solution.

Now i have problems with some tests.
connection to memcached server failed.

'would sugest some package is missing. Stay tuned...

best wishes
