patch for 2026.08.03.00: https://pastebin.com/aHmaNKtZ

  • removed glog edit since upstream now works fine without it
  • updated gcc-libs dependency to libgcc/libstdc++
  • added libdwarf as a transitive buildtime dependency of folly, see here

@usta you could test it, I just pushed the changes - watchman is build testing now

usta commented on 2025-07-01 15:04 (UTC)

@envolution would you like me to give a try for folly too ?

envolution commented on 2025-07-01 14:49 (UTC)

@usta no worries - and yeah - still working on it. Folly needs a few patches and it's thrown me for a bit of a loop. Just testing at the moment and it'll be up shortly (hopefully)

fails to build watchman 2024.05.27.00-1

Facebook introduced a dependency to fb303, fbthrift and mvfst in edencommon in March. This means that building watchman + deps from source will take an incredibly long time.

I might try to patch out that dependency in the future (if possible), I published this now as a reference point for that endeavor. In the meantime, feel free to use watchman-bin if the compile times are problematic.

I needed to use the Homebrew workaround. https://github.com/facebook/watchman/issues/1186 Otherwise, building from Make files seems to take an awfully long time.
