Can't compile Kaffeine 0.8.4 from sources. Problem with xine-lib detection.

Zibi1981 · 07-03-2007, 12:42 PM

I have a problem with Kaffeine 0.8.4 compilation.
Firstly I have to say, that I'm using Mandriva 2007.1. After fresh install I removed libxine and all other related packages, because I wanted to have the newest xine-lib 1.1.7. I compiled it without problems following instructions on the project web site, then I compiled xine-ui 0.95 and gxine - also without complications. The only thing was I had to add a flag

Code:

PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

so they could see newly compiled xine. Both programs are working fine now. Also I compiled Amarok 1.4.6 from sources, although it didn't require any flags - its configuration script had correctly recognized xine-lib.
The problem is I cant make Kaffeine to compile, because its script don't detect xine-lib. I tried almost everything. Firstly standard configuration

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ ./configure --without-dvb
(...)
checking for pkg-config... 0.21
checking for DPMS extension... yes
checking for XTest extension... yes
checking for Xinerama extension... yes
checking for xine-lib... no

---------------------------------------
ERROR: Could not find xine-lib >= 1.0.2
---------------------------------------

configure: error: could not find xine-lib

Then using PKG_CONFIG flag with syntax, that was succesful in xine-ui and gxine compilation

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure --without-dvb
(...)
checking grepping for visibility push/pop in headers... yes
checking whether g++ supports -fvisibility=hidden... yes

---------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Could not find pkg-config. Make sure it is in your path or set
the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

configure: error: could not find pkg-config

After that I pointed the correct file

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libxine.pc ./configure --without-dvb
(...)
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libxine.pc: line 6: Name::                                               ommand not found

---------------------------------------------------------------------

configure: error: could not find pkg-config

In my desperation I decided to experiment, and changed destination file for PKG_CONFIG, and for a second I thought I saw a light in the dark

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/lib/libxine.la ./configure --without-dvb

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

But unfortunately, the make command ended with an error

What am I doing wrong??? Please help.

weibullguy · 07-03-2007, 01:35 PM

It's not PKG_CONFIG, it's PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. Look at the error message

Quote:

checking for pkg-config... ./configure: line 36163: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/: is a directory

---------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Could not find pkg-config. Make sure it is in your path or set

---------------------------------------------------------------------

configure: error: could not find pkg-config

It can't find the pkg-config application because you told it to use /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig instead of the default /usr/bin/pkgconfig.

Zibi1981 · 07-04-2007, 05:26 AM

Thx for Your reply weibullguy

Maybe You're right, and I'll give Your suggestion a try, but I wonder why in this case did xine-ui 0.95 and gxine compiled without any problems using the syntax I mentioned above. Both progs are working fine. Moreover ./configure --help showed that this flag should be PKG_CONFIG, not PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Any ideas?

weibullguy · 07-04-2007, 08:41 AM

This is what kaffeine's ./configure --help says

Code:

PKG_CONFIG  Path to pkg-config

That is the path to the application pkg-config, NOT the path to metadata files that are used by pkg-config. I don't know why gxine and xine-ui configured with the wrong syntax because they shouldn't have. I've tried to get gxine to configure and it won't.

Zibi1981 · 07-09-2007, 03:17 AM

Forgive me, but I'm confused

What is a "metadata file"? Should I use PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig? Did this syntax work for You?

weibullguy · 07-09-2007, 05:33 AM

A metadata file is the type of file used by the pkg-config application; these are the files with the pc extension. Here is an example of gedit's

Code:

prefix=/opt/gnome
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=/opt/gnome/lib64
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: gedit
Description: gedit
Requires: libgnomeui-2.0 libglade-2.0 libgnomeprintui-2.2 gtksourceview-1.0
Version: 2.18.0
Cflags: -I${includedir}/gedit-2.16

However, now that I look at my box, xine-lib doesn't use a metadata file. Rather, it uses a program called xine-config that is called by other packages to get the information they need to build against xine-lib. Execute xine-config --libs and see what the output is.

Zibi1981 · 07-14-2007, 01:21 PM

Hello again!

This is what I got when used syntax as below

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --without-dvb
(...)
checking for xine-lib... yes
checking for xcb and xine-lib >= 1.1.5... no

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

Well, I'm very surprised

Firstly why did the script detect xine-lib, but didn't properly detect its version? I'm sure I uninstalled anything about libxine in my system

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ rpm -qa | grep xine
libxinerama1-devel-1.0.1-4mdv2007.1
libxinerama1-1.0.1-4mdv2007.1
xinetd-2.3.14-5mdv2007.1

and the only one I have at the moment is version 1.1.7 compiled from sources... So what did the script detect exactly?
Secondly it isn't a problem with xcb, because I have it installed also

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ rpm -qa | grep xcb
libxcb1-1.0-1mdv2007.1
libxcb1-devel-1.0-1mdv2007.1

And on the end output of xine-config --libs

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ xine-config --libs
-L/usr/local/lib -lxine -lz -lresolv -lnsl -pthread -lrt

What should I do with it?

weibullguy · 07-14-2007, 03:59 PM

What is the output of this

Code:

xine-config --version

But, why not try executing make.

Zibi1981 · 07-15-2007, 03:53 AM

Hi again! Thx for interest in the topic

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost ~]$ xine-config --version
1.1.7

I don't want to compile Kaffeine on this stage, because my whole play with xine-lib compilation was for getting xcb support. At the moment I'm back to the place I was before I replaced libxine 1.1.4 with 1.1.7.

weibullguy · 07-15-2007, 07:44 AM

Just noticed...

Quote:

checking for xcb and xine-lib >= 1.1.5... no

It didn't find xcb. It DID find xine-lib>=1.1.5.

Zibi1981 · 07-15-2007, 07:59 AM

Maybe, but why? As I wrote above I have xcb and its devel package installed on my computer. What could be the reason that the script didn't find it?

weibullguy · 07-15-2007, 11:06 AM

Because you only told pkg-config to look in this directory

Code:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

Your xcb is probably in /usr/lib/.

Zibi1981 · 07-18-2007, 04:14 AM

So how should the appropriate syntax look? Maybe something like

Code:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/ ./configure

???

weibullguy · 07-18-2007, 06:06 AM

No. The PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable is no different than any other environment variable. If it needs to be set , it is a list of colon (

separated paths. You really shouldn't have set it if you don't have things in odd places; /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig are standard paths for pkg-config to search. In any event, if you do need to explicitly set the variable the syntax would be

Code:

unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH && PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib:/pkgconfig:usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" ./configure --without-dvb

Your syntax sets PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, then sets PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/lib.

Zibi1981 · 07-21-2007, 06:53 AM

OK, when I tried to use

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH && PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib:/pkgconfig:usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" ./configure --without-dvb

the script returned

Code:

checking for xine-lib... no

---------------------------------------
ERROR: Could not find xine-lib >= 1.0.2
---------------------------------------

configure: error: could not find xine-lib

Then I slightly modified the syntax which You suggested and got this

Code:

[zibi1981@localhost kaffeine-0.8.4]$ unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH && PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" ./configure --without-dvb
(...)
Kaffeine configure results:

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

So, back to the point of return???
