Need help updating xreader (ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.)

English Open Build Service (OBS)

Hello,

I need help updating xreader. It use meson and ninja.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:andythe_great:branches:X11:Cinnamon:Factory/xreader

The error simply says,

  176s] ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

It look like it just gave up with no indication.
I’m pretty lost, since I copy spec file from Fedora which Fedora manage to build the package.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xreader

Thank you.

Hi
No it’s a build error, need to look at the log file :wink:


  175s] ../libdocument/ev-annotation.c:704: Warning: XreaderDocument: multiple comment blocks documenting 'ev_annotation_set_area:' identifier (already seen at ev-annotation.c:685).

and more.....

Hmmm, does it mean missing dependencies or mistake in build recipe? What does

identifier not found

mean?

Hi
Does it build against Leap targets? Maybe Tumbleweed libraries are too new.

I tried building with Leap, it seems to succeed, but TW failed. So I think you are right, TW package might be too new.
Do you know how can I find the problematic package and submit a bug report to Mint dev?

Hi
Maybe a lto issue, or link order… Tumbleweed adds :-Werror=return-type -flto=auto

Hello,

Defolos take a look at it, and it is a bug in the code xreader compilation failed on openSUSE. Possible bug in shell/ev-window.c · Issue #418 · linuxmint/xreader · GitHub

Hi
And this is default in Tumbleweed (-Werror=return-type), hence the failure…

The issue is solved now. Thank for the help anyway, the fix is upstreamed.
