build fails: no rule to make target about emacs-libvterm

[vizs]

I'm having the same issue. To add some more info, I'm running Alpine and my C compiler is clang. I don't think this will help but I do have libvterm and libvterm-dev installed.

I experience the same issue. I tried to build the package using straight.el and made some changes but encounter the same error. Perhaps the makefile need some changes, but I have no idea how.

Does ac68d6b fix your issue? In any case, can you post the exact command line you invoke for the build? And is there something in your build folder libvterm-prefix/src/libvterm/.libs?

It builds now but the problem comes when I try to run vterm.
I get an error saying Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, vterm-module. I tried the melpa package and compiled it on my own. Nothing's different.

The commands I ran:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Then added the following to my emacs config.

(add-to-list 'load-path (concat user-emacs-directory "/emacs-libvterm"))
(require 'vterm)

where the emacs-libvterm dir is in ~/etc/emacs.d/emacs-libvterm (~/etc/emacs.d is my user-emacs-directory). FWIW I do have a vterm-module.so file in that path.

And yes I do have the libraries in the directory you mentioned.

$ pwd
/home/viz/etc/emacs.d/emacs-libvterm/build/libvterm-prefix/src/libvterm/.libs
$ ls
libvterm.a  libvterm.la@  libvterm.lai  libvterm.so@  libvterm.so.0@  libvterm.so.0.0.0*

EDIT: I compiled it with gcc along with glibc.

@vizs Has your emacs enabled support for modules? You can verify that by checking if the variable system-configuration-features contains the string MODULES.

Good catch. My emacs build didn't have support for modules. Now it works like a charm :)

[akermu]

Perfect :)
