Hi, I am new to YugaByte and I want to contribute to the codebase. I followed the build insturction for Mac M1, but I got this error. What does this error mean and what would you recommend I do to fix this? Thank you for any help.
Hi. I maintain the linux compilation instructions. No one maintains the mac instructions. If possible, it is recommended you use Almalinux 8 for the smoothest experience. Otherwise, I can still attempt to help.
- Can you send and/or look at
build/latest/postgres_build/config.log,build/latest/postgres_build/make.out,build/latest/postgres_build/make.err? - You may be missing packages. Look at the linux instructions for inspiration on what might be missing.

Do you think it would be better if I used a VM?
I personally am not sure what is wrong with the given information. If you use a VM, docker, or other equivalent, that’s one path forward, but the binaries will be for linux, not for mac, in case you care. If you are only trying to contribute, then that shouldn’t be a concern.

If you choose to go the docker route, the docker image we use in our github actions is yugabyteci/yb_build_infra_almalinux8_x86_64:latest. Here is a small example script that uses it
#!/usr/bin/env bash
SRC_ROOT="${BASH_SOURCE%/*}"
TARGET_ARCH=${TARGET_ARCH:-$(uname -m)}
TARGET_OS=${TARGET_OS:-almalinux8}
BUILD_IMAGE_TAG=${BUILD_IMAGE_TAG:-latest}
pull="missing"
if [[ "$BUILD_IMAGE_TAG" == "latest" ]]; then
pull="always"
fi
docker run -it \
--cap-add SYS_PTRACE \
--pull "$pull" \
--env UID=$(id -u) \
--env GID=$(id -u) \
--ulimit core=-1 \
-v "$(pwd):$(pwd)" \
-w "$(pwd)" \
yugabyteci/yb_build_infra_${TARGET_OS}_${TARGET_ARCH}:${BUILD_IMAGE_TAG} \
"${@}"
If you save it to your checkout directory as bic.sh and set the executable bit, you could use it like this:
~/code/yugabyte-db $ ./bic.sh ./yb_build.sh release
If you don’t already have a docker setup on your mac I would recommend podman-desktop.

Thank you for help and the script. What do you mean by checkout directory? Do you mean the /usr/local/bin folder for mac?
Thank you for the help.
The directory where you have the code checked out. The same directory that yb_build.sh is in.

I ran ./bic.sh ./yb_build.sh release, but I got:
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for yugabyteci/yb_build_infra_almalinux8_arm64, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied
I did docker login with no issue. I just realized it was the wrong image. Is there a version for arm64 or would the x86_64 version work on my machine? What would you recommend I do? Thank you for the help.
Sorry, If you export TARGET_ARCH=aarch64 first that should work I think. The available images are at https://hub.docker.com/u/yugabyteci

Thank you for the help. I just want to clarify, but would I need to do start a local cluster in order to be able to contribute? If so, what is the difference between the previous docker command and starting a cluster? Sorry for many questions. I don’t have a lot of experience in Docker.
Maybe. Depends what exactly you’re contributing. Please read Contribute to YugabyteDB | YugabyteDB Docs, pick an issue and verify the approach with our team before you start coding.
The docker command build the database, compiling it to generate the binaries. The starting a cluster command runs the database like a user does.
No worries!
