bumblebee slackbuilds from jbegoski are failing

flokofcgulls · 10-11-2013, 09:52 AM

I'm fighting with my laptop GPU yet again. I recently removed bumblebee to get the hdmi port working, but after doing so my battery life was reduced by over 50%, which isn't going to work for me. So now I'm trying to rebuild all the bumblebee packages from github, but some of them are failing.

VirtualGL was the first to fail, and I noticed that his github documentation was building them in a different order from the slackware wiki, so I decided to do it his way, but then mesa failed, so I'm thinking the problem might be on my end.

So my question is, has anyone successfully built all of these packages in their most recent versions? Looks like his last update was October 5th, so in the last week maybe?

First, are you on -current or 14.0?

I keep a fork of the repo specifically for -current... and no, it doesn't include the VirtualGL anymore... primus is the new standard.

Take a look here and post back if you still have issues:

https://github.com/WhiteWolf1776/Bumblebee-SlackBuilds

Yea, a third set of instructions, but I have rebuilt them this week on -current. Oh, and if you are on -current, no need to rebuild mesa anymore.

Whether you choose to use primus or VirtualGL, I'm a bit concerned about whether you have a full installation or not.

I recently rebuilt mesa on both 14.0, 13.37 and -current to assist someone to get "Glamor" working on their Slackware installation, and it built fine.

What are the error messages you get when building mesa, or libjpeg-turbo and VirtualGL?

Also, regardless of order, both ask you to build and install libjpeg-turbo before you do VirtualGL since libjpeg-turbo is a dependency for it.

To answer this question, Yes. I just re-built VirtualGL-2.3.2 to see if the latest was still building fine and it was.

Also, that update was to update the nvidia drivers, VirtualGL was untouched.

flokofcgulls · 10-11-2013, 04:21 PM

Thank you both for the info!

I'm on Slackware64 14.0, with multilib.

Yes, I am running a full installation.

libjpeg-turbo builds and installs just fine. I just reinstalled it to reproduce these error messages.

Here's what I get when building VirtualGL:

Code:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

And here is the error I get when building mesa:

Code:

make: Entering directory `/tmp/bbsb/mesa-demos-8.0.1/src/demos'
  CC     gears.o

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.7.1/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [gears] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/bbsb/mesa-demos-8.0.1/src/demos'

I didn't attempt to build mesa-compat32 or any of the remaining packages after these two failed, but all the ones prior to these seemed to work just fine.

I'm going to try WhiteWolf's repo and I'll report back with an update.

flokofcgulls · 10-11-2013, 05:04 PM

I just started over from scratch using WhiteWolf's repo. Since VirtualGL and mesa were not in there, I didn't build those, and everything else built and installed fine.

If I try to run glxgears using primus, it just hangs at the command line with no error or output of any kind, and I have to Ctrl-C to stop it. Running glxgears by itself works fine.

So I'm guessing mesa is the last obstacle to cross. I considered installing the one from -current, but there's no compat32 package to go with it, so I need to build it from a slackbuild.

What are my options?

WhiteWolf1776 · 10-11-2013, 06:56 PM

I think your best option would be building mesa from here:
https://github.com/jgeboski/Bumblebe...ee/master/mesa

But... that doesn't seem to be working for you... Can you try again, post additional info on the error? It's looking like mesa built fine above, and the demo's bombed for some reason I don't see.

Best guess, your env for some reason got hosed.

flokofcgulls · 10-11-2013, 07:24 PM

OK, I tried rebuilding mesa again using jbegoski's SlackBuild scripts. Instead of running the download.sh script, I manually downloaded both the Mesa 8.0.4 and Mesa Demos 8.0.1 packages. When I tried to build, it stopped at the same spot, with the same error.

Here's a larger section of the last stages of the build before it fails:

When you say "hosed", do you mean like, reformat "hosed"?

WhiteWolf1776 · 10-11-2013, 07:30 PM

no no.. hosed as in wrong path somewhere. let me look this over and I'll see what I can find.

WhiteWolf1776 · 10-11-2013, 07:59 PM

Ok, I just pulled everything down to my stock slack 14.0 VM and did the mesa build. The download referenced in the info isn't there anymore, so I pulled the Mesa tarball down from here:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...source/x/mesa/

You will need to rename it from a .xz to .bz2 but just to make the slackbuild script work (tar doesn't really care as long as the filename is right)

For me, this built in about 8 mins, and completed clean.

If it still won't build for you, maybe back out all of the bbsb packages and build mesa first. My first thought on seeing your log here is that mesa failed somewhere so the demo's also failed.. but that's really just a shot in the dark.

flokofcgulls · 10-11-2013, 09:21 PM

I just tried your first suggestion, and got the same error.

So then I tried your second suggestion, and got the same error. =(

Sounds like that's all my options then, so I guess I'll have to reformat whenever time permits.

Greatly appreciate you taking the time to look into this.

WhiteWolf1776 · 10-11-2013, 09:32 PM

Hmmm... Well, there is always updating to -current. Its in beta and pretty stable, plus, no need to mess with mesa then. Wish I could figure this one out... Seems you are really close, just some extra package is hosing you.

Stupid question time. You are running these SlackBuilds as root 'su -' right?

flokofcgulls · 10-11-2013, 10:10 PM

I was actually debating whether to go with -current next time or not. I saw a thread here in the past where Pat mentioned that -current is a testing area, and that it should be expected that things will break from time to time, but I've noticed that most people seem to run it instead of the stable release. Although this would be my first upgrade to a new release, so for me it will be as much research and time as a reformat (I'm very meticulous about things.)

No such thing as a stupid question. =) Yes I am running the SlackBuild scripts as root, my regular account doesn't have the write access needed in /tmp so it will fail pretty quickly otherwise.

WhiteWolf1776 · 10-11-2013, 10:16 PM

-current is th testing, and yep, things break every now and then. Once it hits beta, fairly stable tho. I've had it on my laptop for some time as it needed newer kernels and libs than 14 had.

If you wish, slackpkg can update you (although I usually will recommend using alienbobs mirror current script to get a local copy just in case the update isn't smooth)

The reason I asked if you used 'su -' instead of just 'su' is the end and paths. For several SlackBuilds, you need to be sure you so with a full login shell, etc.

I'll give the upgrade to -current some thought, not sure if that's the best way to go since I hear that 14.1 isn't too far off, and then I assume the new -current will be back to a pre-beta stage.

I didn't realize that 'su -' and 'su' were different, I thought you just meant if I was building as root. I went and read up on the '-' option a little bit this morning in the GNU documentation, think I get the general idea. So to re-answer your question....no, I was not doing that.

So I just tried it again, using 'su -' instead of just 'su', and it still fails at the same spot, same error.
