Error when building kfilemetadata module for workspace (kdesrc-build)

Development
1

Hi all,

I am 2/3 done with compiling workspace(qt 6) with kdesrc-build.

When doing kdesrc-build workspace, it is stuck with kfilemetadata module. Error is here:

It is not missing dependencies, gitlab master looks ok for kfilemetadata.
Any suggestions?

Best,
Tom

Your error is compiling a test:

The error message seems to imply your libappimage is too up-to-date compared to your compiler.
This is very unlikely.
Try flushing you build dir and rebuild once.

std::basic_stringbuf - cppreference.com is c++11 but should really be available if you compiled some kde frameworks 6 that require c++17 at least.

The good news is, it concerned a test, you can probably skip building it and resume building the rest.

libappimage is well-known for causing trouble. I’d recommend to remove libappimage-dev and thus build without the appimage extractor

It worked when I’ve deleted build directory and started again. Thank you

How can I skip some packaged/modules when building workspace? I have some issues with discover, and I know it is not essential for workspace to work. It is just an application.

You can skip it via:

kdesrc-build workspace --ignore-modules discover
