[CalendarServer-dev] Trying to compile CalendarServer [Solved]

Thu Jun 2 02:25:54 PDT 2016

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!
Thanks
John
