Constant error when trying to build Krita on slackware
I recently decided to take on the task of learning krita lately and while it installed fine on my artix system its having issues building on my slackware system. According to the log in my terminal the error is as follows;
Code:
[ 10%] Linking CXX shared library libkritapigment.so

I recognized it had something to do with openexr and so with the assumption that perhaps my release of openexr maybe had to be bleeding edge like krita I built that from source (which worked perfectly fine) but even then it still gave the error above. What could be causing this?
Just pasting a random error into a search engine yields results with Opencv & openexr. Have you cloned a git of Openexr? There's something not up to date, or somethuing too new.
Perhaps Tom doesn't know what you mean by "grok" - it doesn't help that your usage appears inline with neither the dictionary definition nor common usage.
Do not download these packages manually from the source website and build them manually. Do use your distribution’s package manager to find the right packages.
This suggests that being on the bleeding edge version is the incorrect thing to do.
Since I believe Slackware doesn't have a package manager, I would test with the latest stable release (i.e. not bleeding edge), and if that failed I would search for the error messages to see if there was a clear version mismatch identified there, and if that also failed then I would probably check with the Krita Community for confirmation of whether there's a min/max version of OpenEXR currently recommended.

Yeah. It means look at and make sense of, in a nutshell. 'Undefined reference' errors nearly always mean some dependency needs to be a later version.

To understand. Connotes intimate and exhaustive knowledge. When you claim to ‘grok’ some knowledge or technique, you are asserting that you have not merely learned it in a detached instrumental way but that it has become part of you, part of your identity.
If you've done a full install of Slackware, you should have Krita already.
I prefer to have a relatively minimal install of slackware so I use a window manager. Additionally the slackware repos (slapt-get) don't have it listed or even a slackbuild

Yeah it was cloned. I'm now trying 3.1.5 from the slackware 15 repos, hopefully that'll get the job done
You could try slackpkg install krita, but with your minimal install you could be missing some dependencies.
Well either way I got it to work. Honestly it just seemed to be that I had an odd openexr version. It was the latest release from pkgs.org Maybe it would have been better to install a binary but on an old thinkpad it probably was a good choice for the long term to compile it myself
I wouldn't advise pkgs.org. The onl;y thing it's good for is supplying hits to searches. You really don't want to trust it. If you're goinmg, post your solution & mark this solved.
