Compiling problems with Slackware 12RC1

stormtracknole · 06-19-2007, 10:25 PM

I've been having problems compiling some programs under Slackware 12RC1. For example, with wine, ppracer, and some kde-apps won't compile. I get errors during the compiling. I'm wondering if someone else has had these problems. I got frozen-bubble2 to compile with no problems though. I have never had issues compiling programs with Slackware. I wonder if this has something to do with Slackware upgrading gcc and some other packages. Any thoughts? Thanks!

It's quite possible (especially with gcc-4.x). Can you post some of the errors. Usually they can be fixed (unless the application does strange things with gcc).

I've compiled several programs and no problems except for one that was written using boost. (FIRESTARTER) What are the error messages? Dependencies?

Code:

ppgltk/FT/FTTextureGlyph.h:55: error: extra qualification 'FTTextureGlyph::' on member 'ResetActiveTexture'
make[2]: *** [FTGLTextureFont.o] Error 1

That's the one I get with ppracer. I'm going to get wine going again and I'll report in the morning of what the errors.

What I usually do for that is go into ppgltk/FT/FTTextureGlyph.h line 55 with a text editor and delete exactly 'FTTextureGlyph::'

EDIT: If anyone knows another solution to these types of errors using gcc-4.x, please say so ... I would really like to know.

Where is that directory located?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it!

I am now getting this error!

Code:

chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/share/ppracer/_inst.13005_': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [install-nobase_dist_ppdataDATA] Error 1

H_TeXMeX_H · 06-20-2007, 10:29 AM

That's an odd one. Not sure about that one. Do you see such a file as '_inst.13005_' anywhere ? (like in the build directory ?)

I was able to compile ppracer-0.5alpha with patch below under Slackware-12.0RC1.

Code:

How do you apply a patch? I don't think I've done that.

And H_TeXMeX_H, sorry it took me a while to respond, but now that Slackware 12 is out, I may try compiling it again. We'll see. Thanks everyone for the help!

hitest · 07-05-2007, 04:23 PM

I haven't had any problems compiling with Slack 12.0 yet. I compiled Sylpheed 2.4.3 from source the other day with no issues.
Good luck, hope you get it sorted out.

>How do you apply a patch?

OK. Here is a Mandriva's patch for ppracer-0.5alpha.
http://cvs.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/view...c4.1-fix.patch

Download the patch.
Untar ppracer-0.5alpha source.
Then move to ppracer's source directory.
# cd ppracer-0.5alpha
# patch -p1 < [PATH_TO]/ppracer-0.5alpha-gcc4.1-fix.patch

Thanks for the explanation. Now, after applying the patch, then I run ./configue && make && checkinstall as usual?

Hi

I used to have a problem building wine, using huge.s kernel. One of the error messages suggested that I should rebuild my kernel, because my kernel was not built with the compiler that I am trying to use to build wine. So I just rebuilt my kernel and the problem is gone. I do not remember the exact error message, it was at the end of August.
