Make fails

Make fails

[Andreas Enge]

Hello,

currently I get the following error when configuring and compiling guix
from git:

make: *** No rule to make target 'gnu/system/os-config.tmpl', needed by 'doc/os-config.texi'.  Stop.

Does anyone know what happens? A file missing in a commit?

I can find it in my local copy of the repo. Could it be a problem on
your end ?

Apparently. I made a fresh checkout, which contained the file, and copied
it over.

Thanks for your help!

I ran into the same problem.  Turns out that "make clean" deletes
os-config.tmpl.  In my case I used "git reset --hard" to restore it, but
beware that also blows away any changes you've made to your working
directory that haven't yet been committed.

You could have used git checkout -- os-config.tmpl

I just attempted to build Guix and failed

Here's the error message

no idea if that will help you, but it may help to issue a "make clean-go",
delete the remaining .go files pointed out at the end of the outpout,
and "make" again.

Or in the worst case, "make distclean" and then start with "./configure"
again.

I sometimes have the problem that "make" fails when files have been
reorganised.

Thank you Andreas

make distclean didn't help 😕

line 13167 is this one

Defaults to @samp{"\"%s(%u)<%{pid}><%{session}>: \""}.

and it's in this block of text

@deftypevr {@code{dovecot-configuration} parameter} string mail-log-prefix
Log prefix for mail processes.  See doc/wiki/Variables.txt for list
of possible variables you can use.
Defaults to @samp{"\"%s(%u)<%{pid}><%{session}>: \""}.
@end deftypevr

In the log I see that the last commit is related to Dovecot and it includes
some edits to teh documentation (to update the manual to the new Dovecot
service)

But I don't know the texi format, what's the poblem with this line ?

Try a clean environment and the cleanup:

Indeed. Oops!

‘{’ and ‘}’ need escaping (resp. ‘@{’ and ‘@}’), apparently.

This should be fixed in 90d8923bf92cab8696d8395ef68c98d9775b110c.

Thanks!
