can anyone confirm my suspicion that building the gui also builds the daemon (but doesn't produce the daemon binary)?

since the submodule monero is included in cmakelists.txt

it builds a fair part of Monero which is included as a submodule yeah

the GUI needs this, specifically something called 'libwallet'

which the GUI links against

ah, it would be nice if common code were external so that it'd only need to be built once for the daemon and library

jjakob: I agree! :-)

would the CMP0077 warning for BUILD_GUI_DEPS be causing this to build too much?

I'm confused what should be installed by monero-gui and what by monero (daemon)

the gentoo package for monero builds daemon, wallet-cli, wallet-rpc, hw-wallet

tools?

jjakob: monero-gui needs wallet_api from here: github.com/monero-project/monero/bl…e/src/wallet/api/CMakeLists.txt#L85

see here: github.com/monero-project/monero-gu…blob/master/src/CMakeLists.txt#L127

otherwise it doesn't need anything from monero

I don't understand then why it also builds all the monerod, monero-blockchain-*, monero-wallet-{cli,rpc}

my thought is just to rm those from the build dir, before the install phase, so they don't conflict with those already installed on the system

you can do just `make -C build monero-wallet-gui`

then it shouldn't build the other binaries

but you have to run cmake first

I don't know. This is all somehow automated in portage's cmake.eclass

I'm not a gentoo user so I can't help there.

but yes you can delete them from the build dir too

that ebuild already worked, I'm updating it to 0.17.3.1 and also switching from git to source archives

something in the meanwhile has changed

the default target in Makefile has that cmake command?

which cmake command?

cmake -D DEV_MODE=$(or ${DEV_MODE},OFF) -DMANUAL_SUBMODULES=${MANUAL_SUBMODULES} -D BUILD_64=ON -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

yes

you can see the cmake that portage runs in that 0x0 upload line 52

MANUAL_SUBMODULES=ON is that ok?

yes, that just means it doesn't check the submodules

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

try to set it to Release

but don't think it will matter

look at line 192, maybe? but I don't think so

also it doesn't set DEV_MODE as a cmake arg

DEV MODE means it automatically updates the submodule, also something you don't need

but I think it defaults to off

yes

I don't see how CMP0077 is related

selsta: I tried setting it to Release, no change

when was the last time it worked correctly?

I don't know, maybe never, with that old ebuild I linked here, I had a manual "dobin" which only installed monero-wallet-gui, so there could have been all the other binaries also, but there was no conflict

like I said, can you try to just build monero-gui? I posted the command before

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

cd ..

make -C build monero-wallet-gui

that should only build one binary
