cannot build Wt from sources
Added by Аз Есмь over 12 years ago
i got the following error while building Wt 3.2.2-p1 from the sources on a VirtualBox virtual machine:
Linking CXX shared library libwt.so
CMake Error: cmake_symlink_library: System Error: Read-only file system
CMake Error: cmake_symlink_library: System Error: Read-only file system
make[2]: *** [src/libwt.so.3.2.2] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/wt.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
but i was able to successfully build Wt from the same source files on the host system.
what's wrong?
host OS: Kubuntu Desktop 12.10 64-bit
guest OS: Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 32-bit

I think you'll have to look closely for read-only mounts if you type 'mount' in a shell. I don't think this has anything to do with Wt nor cmake, but rather with the setup of the guest operating system on your virtual machine. Maybe /tmp is read-only? Or the disk is full?
Best regards,
Wim.

okay, for some reason one cannot build anything in a VirtualBox shared folder even if it's in a partition with lots of free space. so i had to build Wt in my home directory on the virtual machine. thank you for your suggestions, Wim.
