[SOLVED] Building pdftk on Slackware 15.0 ( -current )

kjhambrick · 03-04-2018, 08:15 AM

All --

I was able to build pdftk on an up-to-date instance of Slackware64-current thanks to Alien Bob's gcc5.SlackBuild

Woo Hoo !

The solution turned out to be very simple:

1. install Alien Bob's gcc5.SlackBuild
2. source /etc/profile.d/gcc-5.sh
3. force CXX=gcc-5 in the Official pdftk/Makefile.Slackware-13.1 File.

Patches for the pdftk.SlackBuild and the official pdftk/Makefile.Slackware-13.1 are attached below.

To build pdftk on Slackware -current:

1. Download the pdftk.SlackBuild into a working directory

2. Save the four patch files in the pdftk.SlackBuild working directory being sure to DROP the .txt extent !

The four new patch files should be named as follows:

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  497 Mar  4 07:05 README-Slackware-15.0.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  665 Mar  4 06:46 pdftk-2.02-on-Slackware-15.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  694 Mar  4 07:05 pdftk.SlackBuild-Slackware-15.0.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  300 Mar  4 07:05 pdftk.info-Slackware-15.0.patch

3. Apply the SlackBuild patches as follows:

Code:

# for i in README pdftk.SlackBuild pdftk.info; do patch -p1 < $i-Slackware-15.0.patch; done

The output from your command should be:

Code:

patching file README
patching file pdftk.SlackBuild
patching file pdftk.info

4. Invoke the pdftk.SlackBuild as root ( via su - ) as follows:

Code:

sh                              # start a sub-shell to preserve your env
. /etc/profile.d/gcc5.sh        # source Alien Bob's gcc5 Environment
SLACKVER=15 ./pdftk.SlackBuild  # force a Slackware-current build
exit                            # return to your standard shell

Note: you will see all the usual 'problems' with the source that were reported on my Slackware 14.2 SlackBuild session.

After all the wordy output, you should end up with the usual /tmp/pdftk-2.02-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz package.

Install as usual ( installpkg /tmp/pdftk-2.02-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz ).

I built and installed pdftk on a 'fairly clean' Slackware64-current and it works as expected for all our use-cases.

For the record, these are the SBo and alien packages on that particular box:

Code:

# ls -la /var/log/packages/*{SBo,alien}
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  474644 Mar  2 05:51 /var/log/packages/gcc5-5.5.0-x86_64-1SBo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    4206 Feb 11 07:18 /var/log/packages/intel-microcode-20171117-noarch-1_SBo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    1251 Feb 11 07:13 /var/log/packages/iucode_tool-2.3.1-x86_64-1_SBo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  786719 Feb 22 07:00 /var/log/packages/libreoffice-6.0.1-x86_64-1alien
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    8477 Feb 22 07:00 /var/log/packages/libreoffice-dict-en-6.0.1-x86_64-1alien
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    1084 Feb 22 07:00 /var/log/packages/libreoffice-kde-integration-6.0.1-x86_64-1alien
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2030119 Feb 22 07:00 /var/log/packages/libreoffice-sdkdoc-6.0.1-noarch-1alien
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   18370 Feb  4 10:14 /var/log/packages/logwatch-7.4.3-noarch-1alien
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    2623 Mar  4 07:21 /var/log/packages/pdftk-2.02-x86_64-1_SBo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  540881 Feb 28 06:53 /var/log/packages/qt5-5.9.4-x86_64-2alien

Thanks to Alien Bob for the gcc5.SlackBuild and to 55020 and qunying for the head's up !

This preliminary work saved a surprise when I switch over to Slackware 15.0

thanks! I pushed the modifications together with Alien Bob's gcc5 to the unofficial repository for current (they will be available at the next global update).

kjhambrick · 03-04-2018, 10:12 AM

You're welcome !

And thanks ponce for all that you and the 'real SBo Devs' do !

as i am trying to compile pdftk on a Slack150 machine (not -current as folks below but a true 15.0) i am getting some error messages after which things stop compiling :

Code:

/bin/sh: line 1: gjar: command not found
make[1]: [Makefile:51: java_lib.o] Error 127 (ignored)
gcj -O2 -fPIC -Wall -fsource=1.3 --encoding=UTF-8 --classpath="/usr/share/java:/tmp/SBo/pdftk-2.02-dist/java:." -c java_lib.jar
/bin/sh: line 1: gcj: command not found
make[1]: [Makefile:52: java_lib.o] Error 127 (ignored)
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/SBo/pdftk-2.02-dist/java'
make: *** No rule to make target '/tmp/SBo/pdftk-2.02-dist/pdftk/../java/java_lib.o', needed by 'pdftk.o'.  Stop.

yes, i obviously already installed Alien's :

Code:

openjre-8u312_b07-x86_64-1alien.txz

what is today the best method, on a Slack150 machine, to get pdftk back to work ?

I believe you need to install the SBo Current gcc5 Package first followed by the SBo Current pdftk Package.

Check the SBo pdftk.README:

Code:

If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover, 
hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. Pdftk is a 
command-line tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents.  Keep one 
in the top drawer of your desktop and use it to merge PDF documents, 
split PDF documents, apply watermarks, repair corrupt PDF, update PDF 
metadata, and more.  pdftk does not require Acrobat and is free software.

NOTE: Starting with Slackware 15.0 pdftk compilation requires SBo gcc-5
because gcc-java was dropped from the GNU Compiler Collection as of gcc-7:
don't forget to source /etc/profile.d/gcc5.sh before starting to build
this, like

  . /etc/profile.d/gcc5.sh

It worked fine on my Slackware Current -> Slackware 15.0 System

HTH

p.s. The SlackBuilds you need are in Ponce's Repo, not in the 14.2 Repo:

gcc5: https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds...velopment/gcc5

pdftk: https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds...t/office/pdftk

thank you, kjhambrick, this sounds very encouraging :

my (currently) only remaining, perhaps naïve question is how to get hold of the complete gcc5 SBo package, or the necessary usual three gcc5 SBo files ? the same for PDFTK's case ? i never owned a GITHUB account which meanwhile has anyway closed its doors to the public so that wget doesn't work anymore. moreover i don't know how to get hold of '-current' or '15.0' files on SlackBuilds in case they are found there at all at this early Slack150 stage ?

You don't need a github account to 'clone' Ponce's Repo on your HDD.

This is more-or-less what I do ...

Code:

TheDir="/tmp/sbo-current"                         
TheURL="https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds.git" 

[ ! -d "$TheDir" ] && mkdir -p "$TheDir"

cd "$TheDir" 

RetCode=$? ; [ "$RetCode" != "0" ] && echo "cannot cd into $TheDir" >&2 && exit $RetCode

rm -rf .[a-z]* *

git clone $TheURL .

I have a script called .git-current that does the above, more-or-less.

After you run the sequence of commands or create a script to run the commands, you'll have a new clone of Ponce's current SBo git Repo.

You'll find everything from Ponce's SBo Current Repo in /tmp/sbo-current/

Code:

cd /tmp/sbo-current

find . -type d -iname pdftk -o -iname gcc5

./development/gcc5
./office/pdftk

You can build in place or copy the directories someplace else so you don't pollute your repo.

what a cookbook recipe ! thank you for that, kjhambrick ! i will try it in minute ! yes, the https route is the way to go with github, a colleague at work just told me so too !

pisti · 02-22-2022, 03:13 PM

sorry to get back to you, dear kjhambrick, with new questions - instead of a hurrah...

how the heck do i use or do i install this gcc5 thing ? it appears to me (by entirely following your instructions below) that gcc5.SlackBuild does not finish its job as i don't find an output file to install with installpkg and nothing like gcc5.sh under /etc/profile.d/ either. prior to compiling i located three files on the web such as ecj-4.9.jar , fastjar-0.98.tar.gz and gcc-5.5.0.tar.xz in order to make SlackBuild run... what do i do wrong ? all my slack150 boxes are pretty virgin still, btw.

by the way, i played with all [y/n/etc] options under :

Code:

Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]

here some outputs :

Code:

...
fastjar-0.98/depcomp
fastjar-0.98/acinclude.m4
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

uff, difficult birth...i remember that in the past our SBo's included a few more commands like config, make, etc - but here i am a bit lost, sorry about that !

Isn't the package under /tmp as stated in the SlackBuild file ?

That's why I like sbopkg, the log...

I don't see the 4 source code packages in your ls output:

cd /tmp/sbo-current/development/gcc5/ and use wget ( for example ) to download the source into your working directory.

One way to do it:

Code:

cd  /tmp/sbo-current/development/gcc5

source ./gcc5.info

for s in $DOWNLOAD
do
   wget $s || ( echo "wget $s did not work" >&2 ; exit 1 ; )
done

# be sure to check the md5sums listed in the MD5SUM Variable too !
#
# one way to do that:

echo '0f70424213b4a1113c04ba66ddda0c1f  gcc-5.5.0.tar.xz

      2659f09c2e43ef8b7d4406321753f1b2  fastjar-0.97.tar.gz' | md5sum -c -

You should end up with four Downloads in your directory in addition to the original content above.

Code:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root   164368 Jul  7  2017 antlr-runtime-3.4.jar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  1619429 Dec 10  2013 ecj-4.9.jar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   676393 Oct 16  2008 fastjar-0.97.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 71096120 Oct 10  2017 gcc-5.5.0.tar.xz

Once you've got the source, try again ?

gosh, kjhambrick, thank you again for your help ! i wasn't familiar with the *.info file although i use SBo frequently, for years, but perhaps always in the comfort zone of just running smooth *.SlackBuild rides. i am also not really a programmer, just a scientist who uses Slackware for 28½ years...

now, i removed fastjar-0.98.tar.gz in order to use the .97 version as indicated - but that didn't do good :

Code:

patching file Makefile.in
Using Plan A...
Hunk #1 succeeded at 515.
done
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc-5
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

while by re-including fastjar-0.98.tar.gz again we progressed a little bit further - though playing with 'y' or 'n' under "Assume -R? [n] y" didn't really make a difference to finish the job - which it didn't :

i could try again on another Slack150 box but that wouldn't change much i guess...

i am also wondering if it's worth all the effort of all parties involved here - in case something like the python-based stapler seems to do the same job as pdftk has done in the past ? in general i like to finish things and not give up easily but in the case of pdftk we may deal with the ancient java genes of a dinosaur...?

Hmmm, yes, I am not much of a giver-upper either

This is odd: The output from configure from your SlackBuild Session says you've already got gcc5 but that it cannot make executables ????

Quote:

Code:

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc-5
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

What's up with that ?

Are you running a Pure-D, Full-Install Slackware 15.0 System ?

Is it a new install or did you upgrade an older version of Slackware ?

What does this `ls -la |grep -i gcc` command show ?

Code:

ls -la /var/lib/pkgtools/packages |grep -i gcc

Just to be sure nothing has broken recently, I reran the gcc5.SlackBuild in a freshly populated gcc5 SlackBuild directory

It worked.

However, I have MultiLib installed and Alien Bob says in the gcc5 README that if the gcc5.SlackBuild detects MultiLib installation then it will build a MultiLib gcc5.

Digging around in Eric's gcc5.SlackBuild script a bit, I saw how to disable MultiLib, so ...

I backed up gcc5.SlackBuild as gcc5~01.SlackBuild and I turned off MULTILIB and set GCC_ARCHOPTS="--disable-multilib"

These are the diffs:

Code:

[root@kjhlt7 gcc5-SBo]# diff -Naur gcc5~01.SlackBuild gcc5.SlackBuild

+
   else
     GCC_ARCHOPTS="--disable-multilib"
     MULTILIB="NO"

Then I reran the gcc5.SlackBuild like this:

Code:

chmod 755 gcc5.SlackBuild

./gcc5.SlackBuild 2>&1 |tee gcc5.SlackBuild.log

It's still running but so far there are no real errors ...

-- kjh

P.S. The 64-bit gcc5.SlackBuild Session just now finished without errors:

Code:

hello again, kjhambrick !

yes, in this particular scenario (and in general on most of my machines) i use a full and complete Slack150 install, from scratch on an empty drive.

nop, no gcc5 installed (yet) - as no gcc5 package created so far :

Code:

does this help further ?

btw, i didn't use multilib for years, last time it was to make Acroread run. do you suggest i play with the -disable-multilib feature ?
