If you try building an autoconf-based module and configure fails (e.g. due to no automake-1.13 not being installed), kdesrc-build moves on to the next module but doesn't actually display any red line in the output to indicate an error happened. Building libaccounts-glib (4/381) No source update, but the module has failed to build 10 times in a row Updating libaccounts-glib (to branch master) Source update complete for libaccounts-glib: no files affected Preparing build system for libaccounts-glib. Removing files in build directory for libaccounts-glib Old build system cleaned, starting new build system. Compiling... Building <next module> etc. Testcase: include extragear/utils/kdesrc-build/custom-qt5-libs-build-include Same bug with qmake-based modules. Building libaccounts-qt (5/381) No source update, but the module has failed to build 10 times in a row Updating libaccounts-qt (to branch master) Source update complete for libaccounts-qt: no files affected Preparing build system for libaccounts-qt. Removing files in build directory for libaccounts-qt Old build system cleaned, starting new build system. Running qmake... Compiling... Error handling is better with cmake, with an error like this: Unable to configure kdewebkit with CMake!
Git commit 742d92ac938f9e30f8ccbdbcdea8a268be30aca0 by Michael Pyne. Committed on 06/03/2018 at 04:33. Pushed by mpyne into branch 'master'. Don't shortcut build output for non-CMake build systems. There is code to avoid using the TTY code that updates the status of the build in the current line. This code prevents using the fancy TTY stuff if progress output is not supported, but doesn't actually ever output the end result of the build (success or failure), which wasn't the intent. In the other situations we don't want to clutter the line output with a redundant status. Instead of duplicating the "progress output supported" check later to output the status (or not), I just took out the check for whether progress output is supported entirely, since the progress callback can work even with build systems w/out support.
