Issues with compiling

Help

Hey, I have been trying to compile Aseprite for a while now and each time I get the same issue and I’m not sure what to do. ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. after I put in ninja aseprite. Here is the full error code.

Please let me know what i can do to fix this.

Make sure you are using the correct version of the skia dependency:
you should use the aseprite-m96 branch or use the precompile versions from:

what c++ compiler are you using?
Make sure you do not try to use mingw by mistake Windows compilation details

3

I tried the m96 branch and it didn’t work. Also im not sure what C++ compiler im using.

4

it looks like your aseprite/laf subproject is a version that expect to use aseprite-m81 skia
while your skia is aseprite-m96

the difference between the api change between “laf” using aseprite-m81 and “laf” aseprite-m96 is that the “laf” skia_surface.h
have changed
m_canvas->drawBitmapLattice(…
to
m_canvas->drawImageLattice(…
since 2021-11-09

so try checkout the latest aseprite git master or beta branch.
and make sure also the aseprite/laf git subproject gets updated as well.
