LinuxQuestions.org - Trying to compile gnustep for x86

- - Trying to compile gnustep for x86_64 (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/trying-to-compile-gnustep-for-x86_64-a-800961/)

in that case, yes.

I hate autopackage but I do not have the knowledge to compile oolite. src2pkg -VV turns up this which is similar to what I get using a slackbuild. The documentation says all you have to do is run 'make'

samac chuckles insanely.

Hmm. I dunno about that. gnustep was a major PITA to compile with src2pkg (not src2pkg's fault); I had to generate the autobuild scripts and modify them to get things to work. (And I'm not convinced that things are working.)

Which versions of everything did you install? I managed to create and install...

Code:

gnustep-back-0.16.0-x86_64-1

gnustep-base-1.19.3-x86_64-1

gnustep-gui-0.17.1-x86_64-1

gnustep-make-2.2.0-x86_64-1

...but oolite 1.73.4 has turned out to be a true "beat head against the wall" exercise. Most of that is centered around SpiderMonkey.

Quote:

gnustep-base-1.18-x86_64-1
gnustep-make-2.2.0-x86_64-1

Are the versions that I made packages of.

As for Oolite, I installed and ran it under wine. I also used the oolite.package and installed it to my ~/games directory, and then sang "spidermonkey, spidermonkey, does whatever a spidermonkey does".

So does this suggest that mozilla spidermonkey is a dependency?

Looks like a lead?

I will maybe look at it again?

Here is a slackbuild http://www.unrealize.co.uk/slackbuilds/13.0/js/

It is also on slackbuilds.org, sbopkg is doing its thing.

and it was all going so well!

libjs.a is in /usr/lib64

Quote:

On Linux, BSD and other Unix platforms without dpkg tools, you will need to
get GNUstep and SDL development libraries in addition to what is usually
installed by default if you choose to install the development
headers/libraries etc. when initially installing the OS. For most Linux
distros, GNUstep and SDL development libraries come prepackaged - just
apt-get/yum install the relevant files. You may also need to install Mozilla
Spidermonkey (libmozjs). On others you may need to build them from source. In
particular, you need the SDL_Mixer library, which doesn't always come with the
base SDL development kit. Then just type 'make'.

If I am reading this correctly I need gnustep, SDL_mixer and spidermonkey, then to run make. All is installed but I still get the error in post 19. Any suggestions

Well, I had to add a top-level Makefile as well as some mods to the autogenerated js.src2pkg.auto script....

The Makefile:

Code:

all:

        ( cd src ; make -f Makefile.ref )



install:

        /usr/bin/install -d ${DESTDIR}/usr/libexec/SpiderMonkey/Linux_All_DBG.OBJ/

        /usr/bin/install -t ${DESTDIR}/usr/libexec/SpiderMonkey/Linux_All_DBG.OBJ/ src/Linux_All_DBG.OBJ/*

The contents of js.src2pkg.auto:

Code:

Then I use this src2pkg script to compile oolite. The problem is that it doesn't install all the config/resource files.

Oh yeah, I also added a /etc/GNUstep/installation-domains.conf file to get gnustep-base to build:

Here is a modified version based upon what I have done in this thread. The package builds and after it has installed the oolite executable to /usr/Local/Tools/oolite it fails on running with the following error:

Quote:

samac@quad:$ /usr/Local/Tools/oolite
Floating point exception

On removing the package I noticed that none of the resource files are loaded.

I don't get an exception, but none of the resources required by oolite are installed to a valid location by the GNUMakefile. I get a small screen that pops up and goes away in less than a second.

It doesn't help that oolite is looking for the resources in odd places, from what I've seen in strace:

Code:

stat("/usr/bin/Resources/oolite/Resources", 0xcf73f8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

stat("/usr/bin/Resources/oolite/Resources/descriptions.plist", 0x7fff4c61de60) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I'm not sure that this *bleep* works if you use "--with-layout=fhs-system --enable-flattened" when building gnustep-make.

I can get this by running make in the source directory and I can get it to finish by modifying the oolite_LIB_DIRS in the GNUmakefile to -L/usr/X11R6/lib64

I'm thinking that I might play with LIBJS_BIN_DIR after I've had some food.

samac

I'm giving up again, it is easier to use the alternative install methods, even though they don't really fit with the Slackware mentality. It is impossible to to work through problems when you cannot even get access to the oolite wiki.

samac

I intend to create a sh script to call oolite in the location where it should be installed, which would have all the resources in subdirectories. I believe that I'll have to patch the makefile to do so.

I'll post my results here when done.

Sorry about the length but this is the directory/file structure as installed by the autopackage. This is ~/.local/bin/oolite

Hmm. It appears that oolite's GNUMakefile is supposed to be run by the Makefile found in the same directory.

This version of oolite-dev-source.src2pkg will create something that almost works. I get the pop-up window with something in it and strace doesn't indicate a problem. It just immediately exits.

Hi to all.
I have build Oolite in Ubuntu. I know that it has nothing to do with Slackware philosophy,
but perhaps the following could give some hints to proceed further.

Since this is my first post here, I have to split my reply in two due to URLs post and forum rules.

Repository Libraries used (not compiled from source) on a fresh installation (no updates)
subversion, gobjc
libffi4-dev, libxml2-dev, zlib1g-dev
libsmpeg-dev (this used by SDL_mixer. however it tries to fecth libsdl1.2-dev which overwrites our sdl manual make install. therefore install this prior to SDL installation)
libesd0-dev, libaudiofile-dev, libaudio-dev
libpulse-dev
(this one had a too many subdependencies and I did not bother recording them... sorry)
libasound2-dev, libartsc0-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, libusb-dev, x11proto-xext-dev
libogg-dev, libflac-dev, libvorbis-dev

and g++ to build eSpeak

Code:

Build gnustep-make-2.2.0

        http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnust...e-2.0.8.tar.gz

        tar xzvf gnustep-make-2.0.8.tar.gz

        cd gnustep-make-2.2.0

        ./configure --prefix=/usr

        make

        sudo make install

        (added in GNUstep.sh execution in my profile)



Build gnustep-base-1.18.0

        http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnust...-1.18.0.tar.gz

        tar xzvf gnustep-base-1.18.0.tar.gz

        cd gnustep-base-1.18.0

        ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-xslt --disable-tls

        make

        sudo bash

        make install (for some reason "sudo make install" could not found GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES env var)



Build SDL-1.2.14

        http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz

        tar xzvf SDL-1.2.14.tar.gz

        cd SDL-1.2.14

        ./configure --prefix=/usr

        make

        sudo make install



Build SDL_mixer-1.2.11

        http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_m...-1.2.11.tar.gz

        tar xzvf SDL_mixer-1.2.11.tar.gz

        cd SDL_mixer-1.2.11

        ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-music-mp3

        make

        sudo make install



Build portaudio (v19 snapshot) - Only portaudio v19 supports ALSA audio

(Having many problems with portaudio in various distros, I tweaked eSpeak Makefile to use pulseaudio instead. See below in eSpeak section)

        portaudio-v19/src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c

        at line 1372 there is:

        ENSURE_( snd_pcm_sw_params_set_tstamp_mode( self->pcm, swParams, SND_PCM_TSTAMP_ENABLE ), paUnanticipatedHostError );

        Remeber, changing that to SND_PCM_TSTAMP_MMAP



        tar xzvf pa_stable_v19_20071207.tar.gz

        cd portaudio

        ./configure --prefix=/usr

        make

        sudo make install

        sudo ldconfig



Build libpng-1.4.1

        http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/l...ar.gz?download

        tar xzvf libpng-1.4.1.tar.gz

        cd libpng-1.4.1

        ./configure --prefix=/usr

        make check

        sudo make install



Build eSpeak

        http://espeak.sourceforge.net/download.html

        unzip espeak-1.43.03-source.zip

        cd espeak-1.43.03-source/src

        alter Makefile to build with pulseaudio (comment portaudio and uncomment pulseaudio)

        make

        sudo make install

I apologize if this big post is of no help.
I tried to workaround it's size
by putting a part in "code" tags to have a scrolling window.

[EDIT]
Following to these build/installations:
for oolite 1.73.4

Code:

$ svn co -r2579 http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/oolite-linux/branches/1.73-maintenance/

$ cd 1.73-maintenance

or if you need bleeding edge

Code:

$ svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/oolite-linux/trunk/

$ cd trunk

then to build oolite:

Code:

$ make -f Makefile release

Cheers!
