Thanks! 👍

I'm following this tutorial: https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/wiki/spksrc-example

I'm not sure how to debug the configure_target error on zlib.

[cytec]

have you tried disableing -Werror in zlib's Makefile?
try: ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS = "-Wno-error"

[alx]

I've modified the zlib's Makefile (and tried various quote/unquote options around "-Wno-error"), and I still get the same error.

The issue isn't with zlib, we've been using that lib for numerous packages and it hasn't changed in a while. I can't reproduce it anyway, so it's something else on your end.
You could take a look at configure.log in work-dir/zlib, but I don't think you'll find a solution there. Other than that, I'd suggest to take a good look at the machine you're using to build the package with.

[alx]

Ok, I trashed everything, and started again from scratch, it's possible I didn't really follow the standard procedure, and my paths got mixed up, sorry if that impacted other people.

Here is the current status:

• _openssl/zlib/protobuf-c/ncurses_ dependencies compile well
• when it reaches mosh _configure_, it fails on the missing _protoc_ command:

checking for protoc... no
configure: error: cannot find protoc, the Protocol Buffers compiler

• _protoc_ is disabled in _protobuc-c_ Makefile:

CONFIGURE_ARGS = --disable-protoc

• if I remove this configure argument in _protobuf-c_, then protobuf-c _configure_ can't find _protobuf_ lib.

I'm not sure where to go next:

• why protoc has been disabled inside protobuf-c Makefile?
• why it can't be enabled?

I've began to try to add a protobuf-cpp cross Makefile, but I'm getting a compilation error and I feel like I'm digging too much before to get a simpler answer.

[Dr-Bean]

why protoc has been disabled inside protobuf-c Makefile?`

Apparently, there wasn't any need for it until now, so it was disabled.

why it can't be enabled?

If you're asking: "Can I enable it?", sure, why not ;) That is, assuming that the SPK's that use protobuf-c won't break. That's not very likely in this case though, and easy enough to verify by compiling those packages.

So as far as I can tell, you're on the right track :)

[paour]

@alx please don't give up!

2935 & #2936 fixes this (adds support for mosh)
