problems compiling mediatomb

z3rosh0t · 01-06-2010, 07:55 PM

First off I'm using OpenSUSE 11.2.

I'm trying to compile mediatomb and I'm having difficulty when I run './configure'

This is the message I get when it fails:

Code:

configure: error: Support of at least one of mysql or sqlite3 must be configured

I have both sqlite3 and mysql installed.

Let me know if I need to post any other information. Thanks in advance for the help!

sqlite-devel perhaps.

Nice! That worked perfectly (used sudo zypper install sqlite3-devel)

Getting another error now, gonna work more on it in the morning.

Code:

configure: error: unable to configure expat support

I installed expat using zypper.

Seems the same as your first question: how about expat-devel (or similar)?

Evo2.

# zypper in libexpat-devel
.. will do.

When 'configure' asks for <name> it usually means :

(lib)<name>-devel .

So I've gotten the configure to run thanks to all of your help.
Now I'm trying to run 'make' and I'm getting some errors. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Code:

../src/tools.cc:306: error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’
../src/tools.cc:307: error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’
../src/tools.cc: In function ‘zmm::String url_unescape(zmm::String)’:
../src/tools.cc:402: error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’
../src/tools.cc:408: error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’
make[2]: *** [libmediatomb_a-tools.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/mediatomb-0.11.0/build'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/mediatomb-0.11.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2

The beginning is where it starts spitting errors. I understand why the compiler doesn't like what the code is trying to do, I'm just nervous about changing the code. Thanks in advance!

Well, you could just set up the Packman.repo to get it
.. with : # zypper in mediatomb

http://packman.links2linux.de/package/2154

Code:

[repo-packman]
name=SUSE-11.2-packman
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
baseurl=http://mirror.geht-schon.de/packman.links2linux.de/suse/11.2/
type=yast2

has a patch you might want to try.

@ bibble_235 , Thank you.
To fix further issue(s), I also applied this patch ..
http://groups.google.com/group/linux...ceacef74591d38
http://groups.google.com/group/linux...c.patch?part=2
And did : make CC=gcc-4.1 CXX=g++-4.1
Unfortunately, still no luck. So it's time to get the bugfixed code
with this command :
svn co https://svn.mediatomb.cc/svnroot/med...runk/mediatomb mediatomb

( See http://mediatomb.cc/pages/download#source_code :
the last lines on the page.)

This "SVN revision 2052" is also fixed so the default gcc, g++ can be used :
version 4.4.1 .

If you want the most options included :
# zypper in file-devel libexif-devel libjs-devel taglib-devel

And then : 1) cd mediatomb/
2) libtoolize && aclocal && autoheader && automake --add-missing \
&& autoconf && ./configure

3) make
.. which will now run with no errors.
