Problem with bmakelib installation

[gapetto]

I follow the steps and encounter problem in point 2.4: https://github.com/bahmanm/lemmy-synapse?tab=readme-ov-file#24-install-it-already
My terminal throws this
Makefile:30: bmakelib/bmakelib.mk: No such file or directory

when running this:

make \
    ansible.user=<REMOTE_USER> \
    ansible.password-auth=no \
    ansible.lemmy-synapse-server=<YOUR_INSTANCE> \
    install

Installing on ubuntu 22.04

What can be done? Hopebrew didnt throw any errors. The package is indeed installed, I can see it listed in brew installations.

Hey! Thanks for creating an issue for this. It sounds it's a bug with bmakelib and lemmy-synapse docs.

I haven' got a Mac but it looks like Homebrew's prefix has changed which causes Make to not be able to find bmakelib.

Hopefully, testing out this hypothesis should be easy! Can you try running Make as below (note the -I option)?

make \
    -I ${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/include \
    ansible.user=<REMOTE_USER> \
    ansible.password-auth=no \
    ansible.lemmy-synapse-server=<YOUR_INSTANCE> \
    install

Oh, on a 2nd read it seems you're running Linux! So much for attention to details 🤦‍♂️

Let me try out the scenario on my openSUSE Tumbleweed machine.

@mazury I just tested this locally and the command does the trick. Can you give it a shot?

My terminal throws this:
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

OK, that is partially good news. It means bmakelib's installation went fine and Make was able to find it.

Let's take the rest of this to lemmy-synapse to keep this thread relevant: bahmanm/lemmy-synapse#29
