building from source on PureOS (Debian)

[gurucubano]

OK, let's go the hard way and build from source the gpclient.

I git cloned from from

purism@pureos:~/guru$ rm -rf GlobalProtect-openconnect
purism@pureos:~/guru$ git clone https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect.git
Cloning into 'GlobalProtect-openconnect'...
...

installed all the Prerequisites mentioned in README.mdand run:

export INCLUDE_GUI=1
make
/bin/sh: 1: jq: not found
error: failed to parse manifest at `/home/purism/guru/GlobalProtect-openconnect/Cargo.toml`

Caused by:
  invalid type: unit variant, expected string only for key `profile.release.strip`
rm -rf .build/gpgui
if [ 1 -eq 1 ]; then \
	echo "Downloading GlobalProtect GUI..."; \
	mkdir -p .build/gpgui; \
	curl -sSL https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/releases/download/v/gpgui_aarch64.bin.tar.xz \
		-o .build/gpgui/gpgui_aarch64.bin.tar.xz; \
	tar -xJf .build/gpgui/*.tar.xz -C .build/gpgui; \
else \
	echo "Skipping GlobalProtect GUI download (INCLUDE_GUI=0)"; \
fi
Downloading GlobalProtect GUI...
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized

The downloaded file contains only

cat .build/gpgui/gpgui_aarch64.bin.tar.xz
Not Found

uname -m
aarch64

.build/gpgui/gpgui_aarch64.bin.tar.xz

[yuezk]

Try to install the jq command first. Looks the doc omit this one.

[gurucubano]

Yep, I saw it in the Makefile what is causing this.
What could jp be for apt install ....?

[yuezk]

It's jq, not jp. Try sudo apt-get install jq

[gurucubano]

With jq installed it gives now:

$ make
error: failed to parse manifest at `/home/purism/guru/GlobalProtect-openconnect/Cargo.toml`

Caused by:
  invalid type: unit variant, expected string only for key `profile.release.strip`
rm -rf .build/gpgui
if [ 1 -eq 1 ]; then \
	echo "Downloading GlobalProtect GUI..."; \
	mkdir -p .build/gpgui; \
	curl -sSL https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/releases/download/v/gpgui_aarch64.bin.tar.xz \
		-o .build/gpgui/gpgui_aarch64.bin.tar.xz; \
...

The rest are errors due not detecting the VERSION (...) correctly.

[yuezk]

Run the cargo metadata --no-deps --format-version 1 | jq -r '.packages[0].version' command in your directly and see what's the output.

[yuezk]

The RUST version must be 1.75 or later. That could be the problem.

rustc -V shows 1.48.0

[yuezk]

You need to upgrade Rust to 1.75 or above.

On my FreeBSD laptop I have: globalprotect-openconnect-1.4.9_1.pkg rust-1.72.0.pkg gpclient --version 2024-06-26 07:11:14.174 INFO [100698] ***@***.*** GlobalProtect started, version: 1.4.9

[yuezk]

1.4.9 was written in C++, while 2.x was refactored using Rust. And the Rust version is at least 1.75.

[gurucubano]

I started compiling 1.4.9 from source:

purism@pureos:~/FreeBSD/GlobalProtect-openconnect-1.4.9$ ./scripts/install.sh
-- CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was set to: /usr
CMake Error at /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake:28 (find_package):

    qt5webengine-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5WebEngine" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Qt5WebEngine_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "Qt5WebEngine" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.

I’ve install everything which smells of qt5webengine*:

How could I get:

    Qt5WebEngineConfig.cmake
    qt5webengine-config.cmake

[yuezk]

@gurucubano you may need to install the QtWebEngine component on your OS. The package name may vary.

[gurucubano]

Thank you! With this and another pkg I’ve got it made:

sudo apt install qtwebengine5-dev
sudo apt install qt5keychain-dev
