"No Makefile to build dependency" error when running "make" and "make test"
quinlanjager opened this issue · 7 comments
When I run make using GNU Make 4.2.1 from the project root, as per the contributing guidelines, I get the following error.
Error: No Makefile to build dependency /Users/quinlan/code/work/erlang-server-sdk/deps/shotgun.
gmake: *** [erlang.mk:4388: deps] Error 2
Looking at the Shotgun repo, it looks like they don't have a Makefile and they recommend using rebar3.
Running rebar3 compile allows me to compile the SDK, but I can't run the tests with rebar3's test runner, eunit.
How should I compile the SDK and run the project's tests?
Hi @quinlanjager we didn't make it very clear in the contributing guidelines but you'll need to install erlang.mk to use make. erlang.mk was the original buildtool while rebar3 was added later. Please let us know if this resolves your issue.
Hey @torchhound, thanks for the clarification.
I did follow the MacOS installation instructions on the erlang.mk website before running gmake.
As far as I can tell I have an up to date version of erlang.mk and it looks like there is an erlang.mk file in the project already. Forgive my naivety, but am I missing something?
I'm running GNU Make 3.81 and make works on a fresh clone of the repo. I'm not sure at which version erlang.mk won't work anymore.
@quinlanjager can you post your make --version output? Mine is:
$ make --version

@unix1 mine looks similar. Looks like my OS is at 18.2.0 where yours is at version 17.6.0.

@quinlanjager thanks! We'll try to reproduce. In the meantime, you should be able to run tests with rebar3 ct against the latest master. If that also doesn't work, please post output.
We have removed the erlang.mk dependency. Makefile now uses rebar3, so I believe this is resolved.
