No rule to make target libwhisper.a libggml.a

I tried to build docker image by:

git clone git@github.com:mutablelogic/go-whisper.git
git checkout v1
cd ./go-whisper
make docker

... got error

It seems that there are some changes in targets in /app/third_party/whisper.cpp/Makefile.
Can you tell what targets should be used instead of libwhisper.a and libggml.a' or point to commit in https://github.com/ggml-org/whisper.cpp where they are presented?

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look. The "main" branch should build, but I will check that now. The "v1" branch is something I was working on (denoiser and silence detector) but I don't think I finished that work yet. What OS/Architecture combination are you looking to build a docker container for, and what GPU are you targetting, if any?

Thanks

I just want to use some small whisper model inside pod of kuber cluster without GPU (hope It will we fast enought).

I tried to run existing doker ghcr.io/mutablelogic/go-whisper:latest without --runtime nvidia --gpus all but faced with a error with cuda-lib-not-found. I suspect that it is because whisper inside ghcr.io/mutablelogic/go-whisper:latest was compiled with cuda-support. Therefore I tried to build own docker will rebuilding whisper-source code.

docker run \
  --name whisper-server --rm \  
  -v whisper:/data -p 8080:80 \
  ghcr.io/mutablelogic/go-whisper:latest

I've built docker containers without CUDA support built-in (I'll reintroduce CUDA and also Vulkan support later). The version is v0.0.25 but you can also use the latest tag:

docker pull ghcr.io/mutablelogic/go-whisper:latest && docker run \
  --name whisper-server --rm \  
  -v whisper:/data -p 8080:80 \
  ghcr.io/mutablelogic/go-whisper:latest

Can you try this again? Thank you!
