Can't ninja/make

Post by PeterLinuxer »

I downloaded ROS sources from github via "git clone" and ROS-BE 2.2.1. I built ROS-BE succesfully on my Linux system.
I successfully ran ./configure.sh from within ROS-BE.
When I enter ninja or make it doesn't work. It complains about missing ninja.build or makefile.

Any suggestion what I should do to get ReactOS source built?

Greetings
Peter

Did you cd output-MinGW-i386 before?
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...

I think I'm in the right directory:

You see: No makefile, no ninja.build. The link you gave didn't tell me anything useful.

I reran ./configure.sh (from within RosBE) with the following output:

[SOLVED] Re: Can't ninja/make

Post by PeterLinuxer »

OK, maybe I got it: I cd to output-MinGW-9386 and "ninja". This is not written in the documentation but it works.

(But still no makefile (documentation says "make" is possible.))

I didn't see EmuandCo's comment. Sorry.

Thanks to both of you.

Just use the command ninja bootcd or ninja livecd from within /home/peter/Desktop/dev/ReactOS/reactos/output-MinGW-i386

I never use make, but I am trying it now from Windows and it is doing something.

I have not got a working Unix setup currently, so I can't look at that.

OK. I understand it now. It's building now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It has not been a inconvenience to me. I am happy just to try and help and I expect others are also happy to try and help.
