Jitpack.io: `Make` is missing

[hypest]

Please provide:

• Link to build log from https://jitpack.io: https://jitpack.io/com/github/wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile/e7bf7987b362e155de1d4bfa823494e9fc315d0b/build.log

• Does the project build on your machine with the same commands (e.g. ./gradlew install) ? YES

• What error are you seeing?

Building the node-sass NPM module fails because make is not available on JitPack.

Hi,

Would it be possible to install make before the build with custom commands?

Would it be possible to install make before the build with custom commands?

Oh, I was under the impression that we can't install OS packages on the virtual machine.

Last time I tried to I got this error:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

Any special way we need to follow to be able to install packages?

By the way, we could try to install make by fetching some binary from the net but chances are that more packages (build-essentials perhaps) might be needed after getting make in so, I feel that the apt install way will be the most practical.

Hi,

Indeed, it'd be better to install make using apt so we'll do that.

Hello @jitpack-io,

I'm having a similar issue (trying to install some dependencies via asdf which depends on jq and column (from util-linux) being present on the system. I tried adding

before_script:
  - apt-get install jq

But get the same permission error since the process is run as user jitpack, is there a way to install system dependencies on jitpack?

Perhaps we could have the jitpack image with sudo installed and allow the jitpack user to run sudo apt-get?

Trying to do the same. Calling apt-get results in E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied).
With prefixed sudo I got /script/buildit.sh: line 41: sudo: command not found
