Building haikuporter from source

Development
1

While building haikuporter from source running this statement ./haikuporter mesa -j4 leads to this error Error: The version of the recipe file format used in the ports tree is older than the one supported by haikuporter.
Error: Please upgrade the ports tree.

I have even rechecked TREE_PATH in ~/config/settings/haikuports.conf.

I had this problem before. After rechecking tree_path several times, I discovered I had mistyped it.

I have to set TREE_PATH to the directory which contains the file haikuporter which we run through the command ./haikuporter mesa -j4?

Indeed. A broken path to haikuports will result in a “ports tree version error” message vs a nice “This path is inaccessible” message. Someone should fix that issue in haikuporter’s python code :slight_smile:

TREE_PATH should be the path to haikuports, not haikuporter.

Thanks, I was able to solve the issue but then another error occured.

PS: I was able to solve the error by installing “devel:libllvm_7” through pkgman.
