[Slackbuilds-users] netdata fails to build

[Willy Sudiarto Raharjo]

> The problem starts with the protobuf3 package. When this package is
> installed, the netdata build framework assumes that the new cloud protocol
> (whatever it is) is to be used. It therefore defines some internal symbol
> that causes it to attempt to include the mqtt_wss_client.h file. This file
> is part of the netdata source code - but only when the netdata source code
> tarball has been created correctly from the netdata git repository - i.e.
> with something like git clone https://github.com/netdata/netdata.git
> --depth=100 --recursive.  At any rate, the tarball that one downloads using
> the link specified in slackbuilds.org for netdata does not contain that
> include file (nor the ancillary source code files) hence the build failure
> that I reported.
> 
> In a nutshell, such as things currently are, under Slackware64 15.0 the
> latest release of netdata will not build if protobuf3 is already installed.

Probably best i can do is add a note in README
