I am trying to build jami since the packaged version crashes and gives me a black screen where incoming video should be.
I get
…/bootstrap
scripts/install.sh: line 94: …/bootstrap: No such file or directory
when I run ./build.py --install
I had previous done an init.
There are no files in:
find daemon
daemon
daemon/contrib
daemon/contrib/native
I have followed all the directions. On the documentation for building after the dependencies it jumps to a jami developer manual with no further info on building it. I was also following the README.rst directions from the git repository. I never saw an appropriate git clone instruction there. I had one message that said that it wasn’t a git repostitory. So I did a git --init.
I think I found out what was causing the black screen. I am waiting to test it with someone.
It was caused by hardware acceleration. I apt-purged the latest mesa graphics drivers and installed the nvidia proprietary drivers. I then reinstalled the virtualbox packages. There were different versions of gcc between the kernel and virtualbox. Somehow I do not get a black screen with vlc and I hope that jami will also work. In the meantime I will use your link to the repo and try to build jami.
I am not sure where I got that deprecated link. Anyways I used yours and I it started to build.
It can’t seem to find my libqt-jami.
ii libqt-jami 6.5.3-0 amd64 Custom build of Qt framework used by the Jami Qt client.
The root directory of which is /usr/lib/libqt-jami/
I used this:
./build.py --init --qt=/usr/lib/libqt-jami/
The precompiled jami package did work when I tested it today. It got a little hung up though when the same person tried to call me on his cell phone while I was talking to him on his computer.
It is installed but the script is not finding it. Perhaps an environmental variable needs to be set.
The output of “dpkg -l libqt-jami”
“ii libqt-jami 6.5.3-0 amd64 Custom build of Qt framework used by the Jami Qt client.”
“ii” means it is installed
I tried one environmental variable but it did not work. Perhaps I need to point it to a certain subdirectory like “bin”.
I did a --clean and it still did not find it. It is finding my other installation of an earlier version.

So Q /usr/lib/libqt-jami is probably not being set
Oh OK The terminal log:

I did a pull again for the latest soiurce and this still does not build.

Perhaps I need a different version of Ubuntu to get it to compile. I use 22.04 the latest stable version.
I guess that’s deprecated
