Installing (some) packages on Haiku requires reboot

[scribam]

I am using this in my workflow:

- uses: cross-platform-actions/action@v0.28.0
  with:
    operating_system: haiku
    architecture: x86-64
    version: r1beta5
    environment_variables: CCACHE_DIR
    run: |
      pkgman update -y && pkgman install -y ccache cmake git libao libsdl2 libzip lua miniupnpc ninja libcdio
      cmake -B build -DUSE_LIBCDIO=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G Ninja
      cmake --build build --config Release

and I have the following error:

A reboot is necessary to complete the installation process.
/bin/bash: line 2: cmake: command not found

https://github.com/scribam/flycast/actions/runs/15190011288/job/42720097656#step:4:331

Is there a way to fix this?

Hmm, that's inconvenient. Is that the case for all packages on Haiku?

It wouldn't be unreasonable to include CMake in the image, although it's not included for the other platforms. But I can't do this for all packages.

You can always create a custom image: https://github.com/cross-platform-actions/action?tab=readme-ov-file#custom-vm-image-image_url.

Thank you for the quick reply!

After further investigation, I don't have the error if I remove the command pkgman update -y. This should be enough for me to do that I want 🙂

A reboot is necessary to complete the installation process.

This is for sure inconvenient...
Is there a functionality to reboot the VM?

Unfortunately there's not. Is this necessary for many packages? Currently it should work if you create a custom VM image.

It seems to be not needed in my use case.

This appears to affect a lot of (all?) other executable packages too, according to my local testing. I would prefer this issue to be kept open, and maybe renamed to a more generic name.
Maybe there is nothing cross-platform-actions can sensibly do here, except for recommending a custom image, but I would still prefer if this issue would be open for reference (and maybe for Haiku people to comment on).

@manxorist I've reopened the issue and made the title more general.

Perhaps adding support for rebooting the VM?

That would certainly work for me. I would not mind the additional time cost, because my CI jobs are hugely C++ compiler dominated anyway.
