BREAKING CHANGE: This package now builds shared objects:

/usr/lib/libfolly.so
/usr/lib/libfolly_test_util.so
/usr/lib/libfollybenchmark.so

instead of the static libraries:

/usr/lib/libfolly.a
/usr/lib/libfolly_exception_counter.a
/usr/lib/libfolly_exception_tracer.a
/usr/lib/libfolly_exception_tracer_base.a
/usr/lib/libfolly_test_util.a
/usr/lib/libfollybenchmark.a

Downstream packages must move folly from the makedepends to depends array to stay functional.

We are doing this change since dynamic rather than static linking between packages is more in line with Arch Linux packaging practices (or just Linux packaging practices in general).

This package installs to /usr/local. According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/creating_packages#build%28%29, "All Arch Linux packages should use the /usr directory."

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX may be of use.

@VOID001 Hi, it seems that https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/master/folly/libfolly.pc.in was not updated for about 2 years. Currently, folly's CMake (previously autoconf) does not generate libfolly.pc for me. Do you have a reliable way to fix?

@ftiasch Hi, could you please include folly.pc file and install it to pkg-config dir? some packages depends on libfolly needs .pc file to resolve deps , such as facebook oomd. Thanks

This breaks since GCC 7 was adopted by Arch. - Install gcc5 from repo - export CC=gcc-5 export CXX=g++-5 Build Folly as usual

folly fails to compile with OpenSSL 1.1.0. https://github.com/facebook/folly/issues/573 Looking at https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/ncrack Consider making openssl-1.0 a dependency and compile using that. Just copy these before the configure call CFLAGS+=" -I/usr/include/openssl-1.0" \ CPPFLAGS+=" -I/usr/include/openssl-1.0" \ LDFLAGS+=" -L/usr/lib/openssl-1.0" \ See for example https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/ncrack Worked for me!

Updated to the latest version. Hey guys, Please up vote if you found this package useful. (Currently 0 votes, I got only claims. sigh..)

I'm getting build errors too.

I 've got such error after installation: ld /usr/lib/libfolly.so ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address /usr/lib/libfolly.so: undefined reference to `boost::re_detail_106300::cpp_regex_traits_implementation<char>::transform(char const*, char const*) const' /usr/lib/libfolly.so: undefined reference to `boost::re_detail_106300::cpp_regex_traits_implementation<char>::transform_primary(char const*, char const*) const' I couldn't compile fbthrift due to this error. Looks like a problem with the last version of boost.

Sorry, just fixed build errors.

It seems as if gtest is no longer retrievable from https://googletest.googlecode.com/files/gtest-1.7.0.zip (404 error) Building fails with error message: curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://googletest.googlecode.com/files/gtest-1.7.0.zip Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build folly.
