Unable to install on debian

[vlulla]

Trying to install on my debian (bookworm) fails. Here's the error message that I get:

mk: 9l -o o.devdraw ...  : exit status=exit(1)

I tried setting the CFLAGS=-I$PLAN9/include in src/mkhdr but that didn't help. Since this build system is different than the commonly used configure based system in linux distros i am unsure where i ought to make this change. Any pointers/guidance is greatly appreciated!

Just put all p9p related files to /usr/local/plan9 and try to build. There are many places in src, where /usr/local/plan9 hardcoded.

I tried this and still get the same error.

The 9l command in your output shouldn't have any .c files. What do you get when you run sh ./mkwsysrules.sh?

I guess you don't have some X11 dependencies and somehow it messed up mk rules generation.

[vlulla]

I read. I'm assuming this is the /usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/devdraw/mkwsysrules.sh...which yields:

WSYSTYPE=x11
X11=/usr
X11H=-I/usr/include
CFLAGS=$CFLAGS -I/usr/include
HFILES=$HFILES $XHFILES
WSYSOFILES=$WSYSOFILES 
WSYSHFILES=x11-inc.h x11-keysym2ucs.h x11-memdraw.h

[jxy]

Did you run under that directory $PLAN9/src/cmd/devdraw?

The WSYSOFILES should read like

WSYSOFILES=$WSYSOFILES x11-alloc.o x11-cload.o x11-draw.o x11-fill.o x11-get.o x11-keysym2ucs.o x11-load.o x11-pixelbits.o x11-screen.o x11-unload.o

[vlulla]

No i had not! Running mkwsysrules.sh script in $PLAN9/src/cmd/devdraw showed that WSYSOFILES was not being set correctly. Noticing the difference between your and my output i investigated the mkwsysrules.sh script. It appears that this line was not working for me. I realized that this was because of having QUOTING_STYLE=shell-always defined in my environment!! Whoops....sorry!

Many thanks @jxy for your help/guidance with this. I have now been able to compile all the plan9 programs. I appreciate your help. I'm super excited to try acme!
