[changchichung]

I want to update default locales to zh-tw , but I can not find any settings about locale in admin console , so I need to compile filestash. but I got some error messages during the process

Step by step instructions to reproduce the bug

git clone this repo , and do make all

so I check the Makefile and find out the default pkg_config_path is incorrect in ubuntu 22.04 , so I update the path to /usr/lib/pkgconfig then make again , but still get same error.

any suggestions ? did I miss some necessary packages to make filestash ?

[changchichung]

so , here is the thing , I create a new machine with ubuntu 20.04 , golang v1.19 , then try to recompile. build_init and build_frontend were ok to compile , but build_backend returns build embed: cannot load embed error

chchang@chchang-Aspire-M3920:~/git/filestash$ make build_backend

missing some packages ??

my environment OS: ubuntu 20.04 x64

go version

go version go1.16.15 linux/amd64

make build_backend generates a lot of error messages , so I upload the entire log to here https://p.defau.lt/?g6EV6nvImBtJxKiKDJ0_Fw

maybe you could help us to compile filestash ? or specified the environment you used to develop filestash ?

[andrewpap22]

I'm getting kinda the same error when trying to make build_backend. Everything else from the CONTRIBUTING.md steps worked fine.

• The error logs: https://p.defau.lt/?OKuunl5jEMYF_HcCphqjrg

Even if I cd server/ && go build I'm getting the exact same warnings / errors...

Any help on building the app would be appreciated @mickael-kerjean I want to try and submit a PR fixing the issue #510

[mickael-kerjean]

To get things to compile without that error, you can edit this file and comment out plg_image_light. That's the plugin responsible for creating thumbnails. As a replacement to get things to compile in an easier way, you can replace it with plg_image_golang which serve the same purpose but doesn't rely on CGO and doesn't cause issue to compile the project regardless of the environment you're using (at the cost of being much slower).

FYI: In the next few weeks, plg_image_light will likely retire as I found a better approach that is both faster and doesn't rely on libvips

[andrewpap22]

Thank you for your time, help and effort!

[mickael-kerjean]

We just introduce a new plugin to generate thumbnail that's don't have the dependencies we used to have aka that won't cause this exact issue, it should be much simpler than to compile the project
