Build fails with unoidl-write: Assertion ‘ent2.is()’ failed

[dev at bac.helioho.st]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to LibreOffice and I'm trying to build the latest master branch of LibreOffice on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04. I have carefully followed the instructions on the wiki page:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnLinux

I ran ./autogen.sh which completed successfully. However, the make command fails with an error related to unoidl-write.

Here is the key error message from the build log:

$ make 2>&1 | tee make.log
sh -c "/mnt/nas1/dev/libreoffice/autogen.sh"
Running './configure --without-doxygen --srcdir=/mnt/nas1/dev/libreoffice --enable-option-checking=fatal'
...
warn:unoidl:47743:47743:unoidl/source/sourcetreeprovider.cxx:303: <file:///mnt/nas1/dev/libreoffice/offapi/com/sun/star/text/textfield.idl> does not define entity com.sun.star.text.textfield
unoidl-write: /mnt/nas1/dev/libreoffice/unoidl/source/unoidl-write.cxx:398: void {anonymous}::mapEntities(const rtl::Reference<unoidl::Manager>&, const rtl::OUString&, std::__debug::map<rtl::OUString, Item>&): Assertion `ent2.is()' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
make[1]: *** [/mnt/nas1/dev/libreoffice/solenv/gbuild/UnoApiTarget.mk:48：/mnt/nas1/dev/libreoffice/workdir/UnoApiTarget/offapi.rdb] Error 134
make: *** [Makefile:301：build] Error 2

It seems the unoidl-write tool is unable to find a specific entity (com.sun.star.text.textfield) and this causes an assertion to fail, aborting the build.

Since this is a clean environment set up according to the official guide, I'm not sure what could be causing this. I have attached the full make.log file (generated by make 2>&1 | tee make.log) to this email for complete details of the configuration and build process.

Could anyone offer some advice on how to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Bacx
