watchman: Cannot Build

After installing libssl-dev I did ./autogen.sh and ./configure again. make is now working without error.

On Debian Jessie I needed to do all of the following

sudo apt-get install inotify-tools build-essential libssl-dev libcrypto++-dev pkg-config libtool python-dev automake autoconf
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/facebook/watchman.git
cd watchman
git checkout v4.9.0  # or whatever is now the latest stable release
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-statedir=/tmp
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo mv watchman /usr/local/bin/watchman

I’m on Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and am unable to build Watchman.

I’ve installed libssl-dev and libcrypto+±dev as per other suggestions and I’m getting an error identical to @khansamad47 above, with references to SHA1_Init, SHA1_Update, and SHA1_Final. Not sure what I’m missing…

To install Watchman on Ubuntu 18.04 (Budgie) I did:

$ git clone https://github.com/facebook/watchman.git
$ cd watchman
$ git checkout v4.9.0
$ sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake build-essential python-dev libtool m4 pkg-config libssl-dev libcrypto++-dev
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ echo 999999 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches && \
echo 999999 | sudo tee -a  /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_queued_events && \
echo 999999 | sudo tee  -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances && \
watchman shutdown-server

I am also using Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and when try to run $ make on my terminal I get the errors as

watchman-ContentHash.o: In function `watchman::ContentHashCache::computeHashImmediate(watchman::ContentHashCacheKey const&) const':

Please help

Same problem (Ubuntu 17.04) I’ve installed libssl-dev, too. In the 4.7.0 version there was not this problem.

UPDATE I installed libcrypto+±dev and it works. I cloned the repository in /opt so I ran all commands as super user.

I am also using Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and when try to run $ make on my terminal I get the errors as
