Error messages with Signal v6.5.2 backup about sigbak HOT 7 CLOSED

Yes, the database schema has changed. I've committed a fix on a test branch. Could you give it a try?

git clone -b test https://github.com/tbvdm/sigbak.git
cd sigbak
make
./sigbak messages ...
./sigbak attachments ...
./sigbak threads ...

from sigbak.

make (on macOS) is giving me errors, and it's beyond my capability to figure out (more of a Python guy than a compiled C guy). Any chance you'll push this into your Homebrew tap at some point soon?

On macOS the build procedure is slightly different. This should work:

brew install libressl make pkg-config protobuf-c sqlite
cd path/to/sigbak
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix)/opt/libressl/lib/pkgconfig gmake
./sigbak ...

from sigbak.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm getting the same errors trying to build. I tried searching for some answers, but went down a rabbit hole I don't understand, about using different compilers, installing variations of Xcode tools, etc.

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

from sigbak.

Hmm, that's odd. Alright, I'll commit the fix on the regular branches later today so you can update via brew.

from sigbak.

Please try this:

brew upgrade --fetch-HEAD sigbak
sigbak att signal-2022-12-12-02-00-01.backup attachments
sigbak msg signal-2022-12-12-02-00-01.backup messages

This should export your attachments and messages to the attachments and messages directories, respectively.

(Also note that the sigbak commands have changed. See the manual page for details.)

Fantastic - the updated version worked perfectly. Thanks.
