compile error at heimdal-gssapi>=1.6.0

[zingaro1972]

Hi,
the compile with cmake return this error:
-- Could NOT find Git (missing: GIT_EXECUTABLE)
-- Install prefix: /usr/local
-- Checking for module 'heimdal-gssapi>=1.6.0'
-- Package 'heimdal-gssapi', required by 'virtual:world', not found
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:545 (message):
A required package was not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:733 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
CMakeLists.txt:147 (pkg_check_modules)

I have the files into the /usr/lib64/heimdal ...

this is the debug installation: Running with debug output on for the find commands.

Hi @zingaro1972 you need to change some more things for alpine linux. Please know that we currently only support debian buster for this version.

Managed to install heimdal-gssapi on arch linux for openvas 21.0.4.
Will try to make a package for openvas 21.4.4

For those facing this issue (ie in almalinux 9.2, my current distro), this is somewhat pkg-config related.
Some heimdal files are wrongly placed.

run first :
pkg-config --list-all #heimdal-gssapi should not be listed

2. check heimdal-gssapi.pc file location
   find / -type f | grep heimdal-gssapi.pc #in my case /usr/lib64/heimdal/lib/pkgconfig/

3. create symlink in right location
   cd /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ #right location for pc files in my distro, check too
   ln -s /usr/lib64/heimdal/lib/pkgconfig/heimdal-gssapi.pc #create symlink

4. chek if everithing ok
   pkg-config --list-all #now should be listed and cmake will pass

I have the same issue on
Kali GNU/Linux Rolling x86_64
Kernel: 6.4.0-kali3-amd64

`$ dpkg-query -s heimdal-gssapi

dpkg-query: package 'heimdal-gssapi' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.`

Please, any solution?

Did you apply my solution (see previous post ?)

Yes, but 'find' (step 2) did'nt find anything... This was the output that I got :
`$ sudo find / -type f | grep hemidal-gssapi.pc

find: '/run/user/1000/doc': Permission denied
`
I don't know whats wrong.

Now I see, the package isn't even installed. So I will have to install it first.

Note that this seems to be (to the best of my knowledge / understanding from the comments prior) not a problem originating from openvas-smb itself but rather a Linux distribution specific problem which would affect all Linux software using pkg-config. For now i would suggest:

1. Close this issue
2. Move further help like compiling / installation support to https://forum.greenbone.net/ (Remember: This is a bug tracker not a support channel / forum)
3. If it has been confirmed that the some Linux distributions are indeed placing the file in the "wrong" location raise an issue / bug for these Linux distributions in the relevant bug trackers of them

For Fedora I followed the instructions at https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/1344 and this error went away and for Ubuntu I assume it would be sudo apt-get install build-essential.

I am having this issue as well on Arch GNU/Linux mostly related because 1 there is no openvas-smb package, and git main openvas-smb looks for older heimdal-gssapi instead of krb5 package, I decided to get my hands at work and I compiled (with a lot of effort and research) the older heimdal the make install as mention above will install to /usr/heimdal/ then I have to link all the pkgconfig to the right place for Arch GNU/Linux but even like this it will not finish compiling :( I will post latest the output is in my lab and I am out now for a coffee.
