libvterm/src/encoding.o not found

[madskjeldgaard]

Hi I had some trouble compiling this using the instructions. I used the kox toolchain as suggested and it generally works but it has trouble finding encoding.o as per the error below (clipped the "not found" part because it was in danish):

arm-kobo-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ar rc build/libvterm_kobo.a libvterm/src/encoding.o libvte rm/src/keyboard.o libvterm/src/mouse.o libvterm/src/parser.o libvterm/src/pen.o libvter m/src/screen.o libvterm/src/state.o libvterm/src/unicode.o libvterm/src/vterm.o /home/mads/x-tools/arm-kobo-linux-gnueabihf/lib/gcc/arm-kobo-linux-gnueabihf/11.2.0/../ ../../../arm-kobo-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ar: libvterm/src/encoding.o

I can't remember exactly how I fixed it but I got it working (sorry for lack of details, I'm quite ill).

Probably forgot to init/update the git submodules ;).

Hmmn if you got that far at least the FBInk submodule was downloaded and 'build object files' step in Makevterm should have run.

Does running

make -f Makevterm clean

before the build do anything useful (after making sure you have the submodules)?

[madskjeldgaard]

make -f Makevterm clean

Nope - and all submodules are downloaded.

Tried running

make -f Makevterm clean && make clean && make release

But same thing happens - it still complains about encoding.o not being found.

For reference, I am running the kobo toolchain from kox.

Can you post the full terminal output?

And a find libvterm, maybe the encoding.c file got deleted?
