Where to get runtime directory when building from source

[chiefMarlin]

Hey
Anyone know what is the proper place to get a runtime directory from when building from source ?
It looks like the runtime dir thats present in root has invalid symlinks eg: runtime/grammars/sources/move/queries -> /Users/timothyzakian/.config/nvim/queries/move

root@t14:/home/user/helix # cp -r runtime /home/user/.config/helix/
cp: runtime/grammars/sources/move/queries: No such file or directory
cp: runtime/grammars/sources/janet-simple/bin/tree-sitter: No such file or directory
cp: runtime/grammars/sources/janet-simple/tree-sitter-janet-simple: directory causes a cycle
cp: runtime/grammars/sources/hyprlang/build/node_gyp_bins/python3: No such file or directory
cp: runtime/grammars/sources/twig/build/node_gyp_bins/python3: No such file or directory
cp: runtime/grammars/sources/twig/node_modules/.bin/tree-sitter: No such file or directory
cp: runtime/grammars/sources/qmljs/queries/highlights-javascript.scm: No such file or directory
cp: runtime/grammars/sources/qmljs/queries/highlights-typescript.scm: No such file or directory
root@t14:/home/user/helix # ls -l runtime/grammars/sources/move/queries
lrwxr-xr-x 1 user user 46 Jan 20 13:53 runtime/grammars/sources/move/queries -> /Users/timothyzakian/.config/nvim/queries/move

They're irrelevant. We don't use queries provided by the grammars (and you can delete the entire sources/ dir). Only the queries in runtime/queries are used.

So you mean that that runtime dir should still be copied, but errors should just be ignored correct ?

You should use the runtime/ directory in the repo you're using to build from source. You should symlink it to ~/.config/helix/runtime though instead of copying it https://docs.helix-editor.com/master/building-from-source.html#configuring-helixs-runtime-files

But yeah the cp errors here are benign
