Has anyone tried the build steps for Linux lately? I am running into all sorts of problems.
Question What version of Ubuntu should I be using for the build? I have tried the following 64-bit desktop versions running in V-Box
- v14.04.4
- v14.04.6
- 16.04.4
The v14.04.x problems started in the install script. The problem was with libcheese-gtk23 libcheese7
I resolved these by running 'sudo apt-get autoremove libcheese-gtk23 libcheese7 and then reran the install.
Then I ran into timestamp error during the create.sh script:
ERROR at //build/timestamp.gni:31:19: Script returned non-zero exit code.
build_timestamp = exec_script(compute_build_timestamp,
I resolved this with cd to build/util and run python lastchange.py -o LASTCHANGE
The create.sh script still wouldn't complete write without adding more GN options.
Then I decided to use 16.04.4 since I saw some info regarding building with that version. The install, update, and create ran great, but now it appears that third-part/llvm is missing so clang fails.
This shouldn't be so difficult. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!
