Compiling Himmelblau on Ubuntu 24.04

[run-stop]

I'm following the instructions from the homepage to install Ubuntu packages. The only difference is that I had to use libclang-dev instead of libclang-13-dev. On the fresh Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Desktop VM, I've installed the Ubuntu packages:

sudo apt-get install libpam0g-dev libudev-dev libssl-dev pkg-config tpm-udev libtss2-dev libcap-dev libtalloc-dev libtevent-dev libldb-dev libdhash-dev libkrb5-dev libpcre2-dev libclang-dev autoconf gettext

I've used rustup to install Rust toolchain.

The make process fails as follows:

error: failed to run custom build command for `idmap v0.5.0 (/home/aleksandar-miljkovic/AD/himmelblau/src/idmap)`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `/home/user/AD/himmelblau/target/debug/build/idmap-afd29ee2208ec77e/build-script-build` (exit status: 101)

Any suggestions on fixing this? I would like to build Ubuntu packages and test them on 24.04, 22.04 and possibly 20.04.

Thank you in advance!

Sounds like that m4 macro is defined in gettext.

After adding several dependencies, and appending the SAMBA4 include header folder to the CFLAGS variable, rust compiler fails complaining about missing msal crate. Then I've added the missing crate to several modules (himmelblu_unix_common and kandim_utils_users), but then finally Rust compailer failed complaining that msal library has a missing dependency of msal crate...

Same here on current Debian testing. It seems, libhimmelblau 0.2.7+ has gone incompatible with himmelblau by renaming itself from msal to himmelblau and changing at least some of its API. Pinning it to =0.2.6 in Cargo.toml is a workaround. Upping it to 0.2.7 and changing msal:: to himmelblau:: in src/common/src/idprovider/himmelblau.rs gets me as far as:

Hrm, sorry for the confusion. I thought I had worked out all those kinks. Yes, you need libhimmelblau pinned at 0.2.6 to build.

[dmulder]

And yes, I made some small changes to the API. I probably should have included a major version change with that.

[dmulder]

Well, looks like I did work out those kinks, but in branch stable-0.4.x. Are you trying to build main?

[mw-a]

Are you trying to build main?

I am indeed.

[dmulder]

Do you know which additional dependencies you needed in order to build on Ubuntu 24.04? It would be good to add that to the documentation.

[mw-a]

@run-stop posted his list in #166 (comment). As I'm on Debian testing, my list is not very helpful - although I should be able to cobble it together still.

I think that's just the list I already have documented, @run-stop later says: "After adding several dependencies...". I'm wondering which others were added.

[mw-a]

What both @run-stop and I seem to need to do as well is to add samba includes to the compiler search path in order for ldb.h to be found. I'm currently doing this crudely like so:

CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/samba-4.0" make

Is this something that could be addressed easily?

I'll see what I can do.

[dmulder]

@mw-a could you check if #169 fixes your build problem?

[mw-a]

@dmulder Yes, it does. And I understand that with #167 merged, main does now also build without modification with libhimmelblau 0.2.9+. Awesome! :)

FWIW: Here's my package list for current Debian testing: libpam0g-dev libudev-dev libssl-dev pkg-config tpm-udev libtss2-dev libcap-dev libtalloc-dev libtevent-dev libldb-dev libdhash-dev libkrb5-dev libpcre2-dev libclang-dev autoconf gettext cargo libsqlite3-dev

This is basically your documented list with libclang-dev instead of libclang-13-dev (as Debian is at 16 currently) plus cargo (pulls in the rust toolchain I guess) and libsqlite3-dev (otherwise libnss_himmelblau and aad-tool do not link with note: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlite3).

Those are the same dependencies I found in my testing yesterday. I'll add those to the documentation.

[dmulder]

I've corrected the README to list those additional dependencies for Debian based distros.
