Can't build on Ubuntu?

[mike776]

I tried to follow the instructions, using init with make init NEXUS_REPO=false but when I run the make build afterwards I get errors, and I can't proceed.

Please advise. I don't know what a nexus repo certificate is.

Hi Mike,

Regarding nexus:
It is just a mirror of the npm repository (requiring certificate for access). It only serves to reduce the load on npmjs.org. With NEXUS_REPO=false you just install npm packages directly from npmjs.org. You don't need to deal with nexus. Moreover, the command make init is not necessary when you don't plan to contribute.

Regarding error you've got:
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce it. Which version do you have - is it branch main? This are the minimal steps to create the build:

$ git clone git@github.com:ClusterLabs/pcs-web-ui.git
$ cd pcs-web-ui
$ make build

Can you try just this (in some clean temporary directory) and if it fails, send me the full console log? Thanks!

idevat,
I did exactly what you suggested and this is what I got:
ubuntu@g15-1:/pcs-web-ui$ make build
make: *** No rule to make target 'build'. Stop.
ubuntu@g15-1:/pcs-web-ui$

Please advice
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

the branch with autotools has been merged in meantime. Now you need to do these steps:

$ git clone git@github.com:ClusterLabs/pcs-web-ui.git
$ cd pcs-web-ui
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make

After these steps the directory build appears in the current directory. Inside build there are subdirectories for-standalone and for-cockpit with compiled webui.

You can also run make install and in this case consider specification of ./configure parameters. There is some autodetection but if it doesn't suit your system, try to define your own paths. Especially parameters --with-pcsd-webui-dir, --with-cockpit-dir, --disable-standalone, --disable-cockpit, --with-pcsd-unix-socket. E.g.:

$ ./configure --disable-cockpit --with-pcsd-webui-dir=/usr/lib64/pcsd/public/ --with-pcsd-unix-socket=/var/run/pcsd.socket

Hi Mike,

It seems like you don't have pkg-config package installed.

I installed a clean ubuntu 24.04 and the build was successful with the dependencies listed below.

$ sudo apt install git autoconf make pkg-config npm

$ git clone git@github.com:ClusterLabs/pcs-web-ui.git
$ cd pcs-web-ui
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
