DDD SlackBuild problem

Eric
I've just tried your DDD SlackBuild, and the build went without problems, but the install to /tmp failed with this message:

Code:

The lines 182 & 183 are:

Code:

find $PKG | xargs file | grep -e "executable" -e "shared object" \
  | grep ELF | cut -f 1 -d : | xargs strip --strip-unneeded 2> /dev/null

I'm by no means an expert, but those lines don't seem to have any relevance to the fault.
P.S.
This is on 12.2. I changed ARCH to i486.

to BrianL:

I tried to compile DDD and got the same error. I Googled it and it seems to be related to Motif (lesstif) which is used by DDD. People report that it's fixed after updating their lesstif versions. I don't know how up-to-date Slackware's version is. The configure script has a --without-motif option but if you use that, it says "Motif is required, don't use the --without-motif option"

.

So maybe it's time for Pat to update lesstif in -current?

Maybe the 0.95.2 release is in Slackware64-current, and that's why Eric wouldn't notice it?
No, it's 0.95.0.
erklaerbaer, sorry for hijacking your thread.

Ilgar · 06-24-2009, 10:31 AM

It appears to be 0.95.0 there. Btw, the project website is misleading, it says the latest is 0.95.0 but it isn't.

brianL · 06-24-2009, 10:33 AM

I'll get the 0.95.2 source, edit the SlackBuild, and try again.
Edit:
Huh, no, I was thinking of the DDD not the lesstif SlackBuild. My brain had gone into hibernation.

Ilgar · 06-24-2009, 10:46 AM

I tried compiling DDD w/out the Slackbuild, trying different options, but all failed due to the same error. I don't think there's any way out other than updating lesstif.

brianL · 06-24-2009, 11:12 AM

I wasn't in any rush to get DDD, so I might wait and see if lesstif gets "officially" updated.

I should have started a new thread for this. I wonder if some kind Moderator could move posts #6 and #8 to #15 to a new thread entitled "DDD SlackBuild problem"?

I have no Slackware 12.2 handy at the moment but could you try this (taken from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193505#c36):

Code:

This fix works perfectly, thanks for the help

Thanks, Eric, I'll try that.

brianL · 06-25-2009, 08:29 AM

Yes, that solved it. DDD built and installed OK.

Slackware-current not have the problem with lesstif that you are seeing in Slackware 12.2.

Umm actually that post should've been moved here, it was posted before the split.

Thanks AlienBob for the header file fix. I built the package on Slackware 12.0 with your change.
