Build fails due to non-existent directories in pdftex

[TilBlechschmidt]

I attempted to build texlive.js by starting up this docker container, then executing these commands inside the git repo

apt-get update
apt-get install git llvm default-jre wget unzip texinfo texlive-latex-base texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra

git submodule init
git submodule update

make

ultimately running into this error

Executing this command

mkdir -p ./binary/pdftex-1.40.11/build-pdftex/texk/web2c/pdftex

gets me past the first error eventually (only when executed in a specific order like make clean && mkdir ... && make) but the second one still makes it fail.

I somehow got it to installing all texlive packages but then again same story. The very same directory disappeared and the pdftex worker does not get built.

I'm running emscripten 1.37.10.

nvmd it was due to g++ and gcc not being present in the container. I though it was part of the build-essentials package group but apparently I was mistaken 😄

Hallo @TilBlechschmidt I'm new to js and I'm trying to use texlive.js for a project. I'm getting the exact same error. What I did was just git clone the repository and then make. I tried apt-get install gcc but it didn't work. Could you elaborate on the solution a little bit, thank you!
