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.

I'm getting this error

@carsme problem solved thanks

@kusoneko, I can't reproduce that issue. Can you try rebuilding folly and edencommon and see if the issue persists?

2023.09.04.00-1 doesn't compile on my end; I get the following error:

@carsme Thank you, works smoothly now for me :)

@AlexBocken I've excluded what I think are the problematic tests now. Let me know if you experience any other issues.

@carsme Rebuilt it again, same four checks failed. Note that I'm not building in a clean chroot.
