hg clone https://hg.adblockplus.org/libadblockplus not cloning all the required dependents

[hemant]

I am trying to clone libadblockplus repos on arm linux using

hg clone https://hg.adblockplus.org/libadblockplus

command from https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/1743

but its only checking out libadblockplus not its dependents.

It was working fine few months ago, is there something change in adblockplus repo?

I tried cloning missing repos from git repo but build is failing with following error :

make ARCH=arm7
gyp: name 'host_arch' is not defined while evaluating condition 'host_arch=="ia32" or host_arch=="x64" or clang==1' in libadblockplus.gyp while trying to load libadblockplus.gyp

can you please help?

Yes, there are changes. Now to get dependencies one needs to call ./ensure_dependencies.py (a little bit more about it one can find in README.md). Please let us know if you are still experiencing any troubles with cloning.

Thanks sergz. I got it working.
Few manual changes I have to do to get it build after running ./ensure_dependencies.py

1. Add host_arch in libadblockplus/Makefile to allow build on arm host.

third_party/gyp/gyp --depth=. -f make -I common.gypi --generator-output=build -Dtarget_arch=$(ARCH) -Dhost_arch=$(ARCH) libadblockplus.gyp

2. changes described in https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/1743

you can close this case.

BTW, we are going to add host_arch as well, there is a review for it ​https://codereview.adblockplus.org/6193234183192576/diff/5629499534213120/Makefile but the process will take some time.

Actually, I think that host_arch should be the architecture of the current host which, as I understand, is used to build tools to build v8.

ok. Thanks for info.
