Problems building without --disable-openfec --disable-tools

[DColadas]

Hello,
I am interested in collaborating in this project. I am trying to get familiar with some of the commands displayed in the docs to check how the program works.
I had no problems installing using the commands:

$ scons -Q --enable-pulseaudio-modules --build-3rdparty=openfec,pulseaudio
$ sudo scons -Q --enable-pulseaudio-modules --build-3rdparty=openfec,pulseaudio install

as shown in the user cookbook. However, while trying to build the sources with any command of this type:

$ scons -Q
$ scons -Q --enable-werror --enable-debug --sanitizers=all

I get the error error: openfec not found (see 'config.log' for details). If I add the flag --disable-openfec, what I get is a linker error:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpulse.so: undefined reference to `pa_dbus_wrap_connection_free'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpulse.so: undefined reference to `pa_dbus_add_matches'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpulse.so: undefined reference to `pa_dbus_wrap_connection_get'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpulse.so: undefined reference to `pa_dbus_wrap_connection_new'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I can solve this problem also adding the --disable-tools flag. While it works, I suppose disabling the support for OpenFEC and the tools building may cause some issues while developing. Is there any area where I could contribute to the code without these characteristics enabled?
All this happened in both the master and develop branches, and on two different Ubuntu 18.04 systems (one of them freshly installed). Any help is appreciated!

Problem solved! I added the --enable-pulseaudio-modules --build-3rdparty=all options when building.
Therefore, I am running scons -Q --enable-werror --enable-debug --sanitizers=all --enable-pulseaudio-modules --build-3rdparty=all in order to not get the error.
Hopefully I will be contributing to the project soon!

Hi, yes, you need either:

• disable OpenFEC support using --disable-openfec
• ask Roc to build OpenFEC for you: --build-3rdparty=...,openfec,... or --build-3rdparty=all
• download, build, and install OpenFEC manually and let Roc to find it on the system (no special options are needed)

The same is true for PulseAudio, you need either:

• completely disable command-line tools using --disable-tools and also don't use --enable-pulseaudio-modules

• disable PulseAudio support in tools using --disable-pulseaudio and also don't use --enable-pulseaudio-modules

• ask Roc to build PulseAudio for you: --build-3rdparty=...,pulseaudio,... or --build-3rdparty=all

• install PulseAudio headers and libraries system-wide and let Roc to find and use them

  • but if you also want to use --enable-pulseaudio-modules, just PulseAudio headers and libraries are not enough, you need complete PulseAudio source tree; in this case you can either use --build-3rdparty or build PulseAudio from sources manually and use --with-pulseaudio

I had the same issue as well. I don't believe that I need to use OpenFEC so I disabled it with --disable-openfec and it works. Thank you guys!
