Unable to make dist

Hi,

I noticed your makefile is just a one liner:

include ../umbrella.mk

This causes my make to fail. Is this intentional?

Are you sure you followed the first step in https://github.com/simmel/rabbitmq-auth-backend-kerberos#requirements ?

Also, rabbitmq-auth-backend-kerberos needs to be checked out into the rabbitmq-public-umbrella directory.

Maybe linking to https://www.rabbitmq.com/installing-plugins.html#building in the docs instead makes it clearer how to build? What do you think? (Admittedly, it's not very easy to build a rabbitmq plugin but it could also be alot harder I suppose..)

Ah ok, guess I missed that in a hurry. Thanks.

Hi @simmel ,

Do you think it would be possible to provide a link to a pre-built binary of this plugin (much like the ones here with a download link to the *.ez file)?

Reason being, I don't have the liberty to issue hg clone commands.

[simmel]

It might be possible via Travis CI, see here and here. But I'm afraid I don't have time to enable it at the moment. And interesting project though!

To solve your immediate problem though you can just download a .{zip,bz2,gz} of the rabbitmq-public-umbrella repo here. Be sure to match the tag with the version you use on your rabbitmq installation.

Did you get it to build?

I've learned some issues with building binaries with TravisCI: they only run Ubuntu on their build servers so I could only build and Ubuntu binary release I'm afraid. I still think this is worth pursuing though.

Seems like TravisCI is about to support multiple OS:es.

When this is available for general usage and "enough" people +1 this I will pursue it.
