plugin building (rabbitmq 4.0.x/4.1.x)

[Cristiano Contin]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build some plugins to update my 3.12 setup, but I'm stuck...

Thinking about something wrong in my repos, I took the rabbitmq-delayed-message-exchange plugin that actually has a binary distribution, but the result doesn't change:

rabbitmq-delayed-message-exchange % docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/src -w /src elixir:1.16-otp-26 make      
 DEP    rabbit_common (-)
Error: Unknown or invalid dependency: rabbit_common.
make: *** No rule to make target '//rabbit_common', needed by 'deps'.  Stop.

the same method worked just fine building 3.12 plugins, and I can't understand what is wrong.

Regards 

Cristiano Contin

Hi  Cristiano,

The documentation for building plugins needs to be updated. These steps should work:

git clone --branch v4.1.x https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server.git

cd rabbitmq-server

git clone https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-delayed-message-exchange.git deps/rabbitmq_delayed_message_exchange

make -C deps/rabbitmq_delayed_message_exchange
