SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. mkdir -p ~/kde/src && cd ~/kde/src 2. git clone https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build.git && cd kdesrc-build 3. ./kdesrc-build --initial-setup (I said "yes" to updating ~/.bashrc) 4. source ~/.bashrc 5. Attempt to build something, e.g. kdesrc-build neochat OBSERVED RESULT kdesrc-build requires some minimal support to operate, including support from the Perl runtime that kdesrc-build is built upon. Some mandatory Perl modules are missing, and kdesrc-build cannot operate without them. Please ensure these modules are installed and available to Perl: one of (YAML::XS, YAML::PP, YAML::Syck) kdesrc-build can do this for you on many distros: Run 'kdesrc-build --initial-setup' kdesrc-build version is 20.06 EXPECTED RESULT KDE build script should run and attempt to build NeoChat SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211226 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Easily fixable with sudo zypper in perl-YAML-PP
Bit annoying that the password prompt is before the package list. Anyways, this seems to be the list of packages. `@@ pkg/opensuse/unknown` at: https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build/-/blob/master/modules/ksb/FirstRun.pm#L471 It looks like it uses the same package list for OpenSUSE Leap and Tumbleweed? That might be the reason why it doesn't work. Here's my output. I've installed a few dev packages already, so it found a few already. https://gist.github.com/Zren/519e064c54a082881a216f11fb5c00e8 I went into yast and noticed: libpng12-devel - Development tools for applications which will use libpng Provides: pkgconfig(libpng12) = 1.2.59 libpng16-devel - Development tools for applications which will use libpng Provides: pkgconfig(libpng16) = 1.6.37 Which is probably why we get errors like: 'pkgconfig(libpng)' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. Very annoying that SUSE doesn't map "pkgconfig(libpng)" to libpng16-devel.
Installing
(sorry for previous accidental comment) Installing perl-YAML-PP wasn't enough for me. These are my perl YAML installed packages: ``` rpm -qa | grep perl-YAML perl-YAML-LibYAML-API-0.013-1.6.x86_64 perl-YAML-PP-0.035-1.1.noarch perl-YAML-Syck-1.34-1.14.x86_64 perl-YAML-1.30-1.14.noarch perl-YAML-PP-LibYAML-0.005-1.13.noarch perl-YAML-LibYAML-0.85-1.1.x86_64 perl-YAML-Tiny-1.73-1.20.noarch ``` Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20221101 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel Version: 6.0.5-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
Actually, my user's perl was pointing to a custom installation, once using the system perl installation, dependencies seem right. Sorry for the noise.
Cannot reproduce under openSUSE Tumbleweed image. I see in [this](https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build/-/commit/1b34b936490b652bf99e03197f18c53abf4eb3fd#19fffd4e5cecfecc6dd5b053a9570c740101166f_296_292) commit the `perl-YAML-LibYAML` was replaced by `perl(YAML::LibYAML)`. But that is dated 2019-12-17, while original poster date is 2021-12-28. Also, consider switching to kde-builder if still using kdesrc-build.
