Unable to determine stable dependency matrix for Rousette build (libyang/sysrepo mismatch) #23

Sorry for your bad experience. One of the core libraries that we depend on, libyang, is currently undergoing some significant API changes during its transition to v5.1, some of them in response to our feedback, and it takes some time to adapt. The versions that we're building against are always pinned in this repo, you can use that as git submodules. Generally, rousette specifies its version requirements via CMake's pkg-config support. As you've noticed, the library stack changes quite frequently, and sometimes we uncover bugs in the libs during our development process and the fix lands in their devel branches. TL;DR: use master of rousette, master of the dependencies, and update frequently. |

Hi,
I am trying to build rousette from source but I am having difficulty identifying a stable combination of the required dependencies:
libyang
sysrepo
libyang-cpp
sysrepo-cpp
rousette
I have tried both older (3.x) and newer (4.x) stacks, including:
libyang 3.x with sysrepo 3.x and corresponding cpp bindings
libyang 4.2.2 with sysrepo 4.2.10, libyang-cpp v4, sysrepo-cpp v6, rousette v2
I also tried using the devel branches where suggested, but I am still encountering version/API mismatches, mainly between libyang-cpp and sysrepo-cpp.
Could you please clarify:
What is the officially supported dependency matrix for rousette?
Is there a known working tag/commit combination?
Is rousette v2 expected to work only with libyang 4.x?
Thank you for your guidance.
