Hi Andre, Sure, here's the info. From memory I'm afraid. I was trying to install on a clean Ubuntu Mate Destop 14.04 running in VirtualBox v5.0.20 Although I did try CalendarServer from the repository, it is version 5.2, so quickly looked for a more recent version. Having cloned 8.0 and running ./bin/develop for the first time, the build unfortuately fails. I don't know whether your comprehensive install process is intended to solve *every* dependency, but when ./bin/develop started to build libsasl it failed on a missing kerberos library. To solve this I looked at first in Ubuntu's repository, but alas the naming convention for the libsasl2 libraries are inconsistent and I missed it. Thus I downloaded the cyrus-sasl-2.1.25.tar.gz and built it, finally installing in /usr/local. This is what causes the "svn: no version information available" error. But as this is associated with svn, I ignored and continued to resolve my build issues until I got the XML Parsing error as mentioned previously. Persevering, my analysis of your build system showed me that the return value of svn_info() was now not pure XML, but had the svn error as the first line. So I returned to see if I could solve the libsasl issue. Eventually, I realised that I needed "libsasl2-dev". Once I removed my local build and used the Ubuntu build the svn error went away, and ./bin/develop switched over to the system version, and the parse error went away. Your build system continues to build Postgresql inspite of an Ubuntu installation, but I have not investigated why. It may be due to Ubuntu's installation being in /usr/lib/postgresql. It may be that the SVN error would also occur if your build system built libsasl . I've not investigated this. It would be very easy for your test department to reproduce these steps on a VirtualBox instance. Ha ha! Your QuickStart document didn't turn out to be quick!

Hi John,

Thanks for the follow up! Glad you got it working. Can you share which versions of libsasl did and did not work?

Thx, -dre

Hello,

I've managed to get CalenderServer v8.0 built now.

The error below was because of a wrong version of a libsasl library. This was causing SVN a problem, and it was outputting a error line, such as "svn: /usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so.2: no version information available" as the first line in the svn_info string (see line 71 below), which could not then be parsed as XML.

Regards John

I'm trying to compile CalenderServer (v8.0 or trunk) on Ubuntu 14.04.

Having resolved many issues that prevented a sucessful compile, this current error has got me stumped!

Please could you could advise what could be wrong.

./bin/develop fails as follows
