Unable to build on ubuntu

[protodmorgan]

I'm attempting to install this on ubuntu. However, it seem I am missing something. when I follow the instructions make release. I am hitting the following error:

[RELEASE]
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Makefile:27: recipe for target 'release' failed
make: *** [release] Error 2

You should run make clean because CMake didn't generated any makefiles. Make sure you have installed cmake libusb-dev or else it wont build.

[protodmorgan]

results in the same issue.

You should install libusb-1.0-dev( not sure that is correct name) but pack may contain libusb-1.0 ср, 28 мар. 2018 г., 19:48 protodmorgan <notifications@github.com>:

may contain libusb-1.0

even with that installed Same issue

[slyshykO]

Ok, I realize that makefile or instruction is outdated. Or both. You can build with Cmake, or wait for someone fix makefile. ср, 28 мар. 2018 г., 20:05 protodmorgan <notifications@github.com>:

You need to make sure the build folder is removed when the cmake run failed which make clean does. See https://github.com/texane/stlink/blob/master/doc/compiling.md. The makefile only creates a folders and executes cmake to generate makefiles. Then make is executed to run the build. The error message is due to cmake didn't had generated any makefiles (https://github.com/texane/stlink/blob/master/Makefile#L41-L43). Error was: make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I successfully build the stlink following instruction.
And also in Orange Pi Zero, that relies on #621 .

[protodmorgan]

thanks..as I said I was probably missing something. trying to learn.

Seem to run into a problem now after compiling, I am running st-info etc, and I get. st-info: error while loading shared libraries: libstlink.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

can confirm those libs exist but are in lib/lib, and I did run ldconfig

[jjmilburn]

Running ldconfig did not resolve this for me. I had to first manually copy the files libstlink.so.1 / libstlink.so to /usr/local/lib/. Only then did ldconfig make any difference.

[Basilisvirus]

Happened to me when i downloaded Source code (tar.gz).

Then, i downloaded Source code (zip) and it worked.

[Nightwalker-87]

@Basilisvirus: Interesting. Nevertheless both archive files .zip and .tar.gz. are generated automatically by github. Both hold the same content. Are there any local problems with unzipping .tar.gz or directory paths? Was your download complete?

[Basilisvirus]

@Nightwalker-87 Thats what i am thinking. Maybe my download was not completed/corrupted or there was an unzip error.

[Nightwalker-87]

Could you or anyone else with ubuntu retry the .tar.gz archive to verify, so that we can finally resolve this issue with the knowledge that both work correctly? That would be great. Unfortunately I don't have the possibility to test this with an ubuntu system.

[Basilisvirus]

I would, but right now i get issue #478 error so let me fix that first xD

[Nightwalker-87]

ok, of course we welcome any helpful contribution. 👍

[Basilisvirus]

I re-installed the release 1.6.0, using the Source code (tar.gz) and it installed correctly, so there is no issue here.
Plus, i installed it using sudo make instead of make and all my other installation-based problems were solved as well.

So i think we can close this issue?
The solution was: try again to download and extract the file.

[Nightwalker-87]

Yes we can! 👍 🥇
@Basilisvirus: Thank you for your help - very appreciated!

[Nightwalker-87]

Running ldconfig did not resolve this for me. I had to first manually copy the files libstlink.so.1 / libstlink.so to /usr/local/lib/. Only then did ldconfig make any difference.

@slyshykO: Was this fixed in PR 701? Could you have a look at this?

[slyshykO]

@Nightwalker-87 #701 not about this issue.
