Dependencies for installing slackbuilds on barebones linode


Hi all, I'm trying to set up a linode server with Slackware64 14.1, and I'm having trouble installing a slackbuild. If it matters, I'm attempting to install nginx.

First it wasn't finding a C compiler. I figured out what those dependencies were and got them installed via slackpkg. But, now it's failing with this:

Code:
checking for uint64_t ... uint64_t not found u_int64_t not found
./configure: error: can not define uint64_t
I'm guessing I'm just missing another dependency. What's the easiest way to update the system with whatever is needed to install slackbuilds?

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately the above error persists

Anyone know what package defines uint64_t?

Hi mattca

uint64_t is an integer type in C, defined in stdint.h, this file comes in glibc package.

In my slackware64 with multilib is in the glibc-x86_64-7alien 2.17_multilib package, in a pure Slackware64, it should be in glibc-2.17-x86_64-7

Maybe not are now installed the development libraries.

http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/sla...slackware64/l/

Try with reinstall this package

slackpkg reinstall glibc

Update:
The link for the patch that Willysr has put in the previous post seems appropriate.

Thanks for the tips...

I wasn't able to apply the patch, I got "hunk failed" for each of the hunks in the patch. I tried applying it by manually editing the source files, and it looks like the source I have doesn't match up with the patch. This would make sense, as the patch is from (I think) 2010 and nginx 1.4.1 was released in 2013.

I also tried setting CFLAGS="" before running configure without success.

I'm actually a little confused as to why I'd need a patch to start out with, since I was able to install the same slackbuild on 2 different stock Slackware64 systems. They were normal installs though, not the stripped down version you get with Linode. So, I think I'm just missing some dependencies.

I do have glibc installed, but it's still not able to find uint64_t for some reason.

Any ideas how I can get a linode updated with the necessary dependencies?

Actually.... it looks like stdint.h exists on my system, *and* defines uint64_t. Any idea why nginx can't find it?

Code:
# grep "uint64" `find /usr/include/ -name "stdint.h"`
/usr/include/stdint.h:typedef unsigned long int uint64_t;
/usr/include/stdint.h:typedef unsigned long long int    uint64_t;

After a closer look at objs/autoconf.err I see that it seems to be missing linux/limits.h:

Code:
checking for uint64_t

In file included from /usr/include/bits/posix1_lim.h:160:0,
                 from /usr/include/limits.h:144,
                 from /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.8.2/include-fixed/limits.h:168,
                 from /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.8.2/include-fixed/syslimits.h:7,
                 from /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.8.2/include-fixed/limits.h:34,
                 from /usr/include/bits/socket.h:30,
                 from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:39,
                 from objs/autotest.c:4:
/usr/include/bits/local_lim.h:38:26: fatal error: linux/limits.h: No such file or directory
 #include <linux/limits.h>
                          ^
compilation terminated.
And I seem to have that file on my local machine:
Code:
$ find /usr/include/ -name "limits.h"
/usr/include/c++/4.8.2/tr1/limits.h
/usr/include/limits.h
/usr/include/linux/limits.h
but not the linode:
Code:
# find /usr/include/ -name "limits.h"
/usr/include/c++/4.8.2/tr1/limits.h
/usr/include/limits.h
Any idea what package contains it?

On my slack:

Code:
$grep linux/limits.h /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/kernel-headers-3.10.17-x86-3:usr/include/linux/limits.h
/var/log/packages/kernel-source-3.10.17-noarch-3:usr/src/linux-3.10.17/include/uapi/linux/limits.h

I've also just recently set up my Slackware Linode and noticed they leave out a lot of packages. In order to get to a full Slack install I just did

Code:
root@hades:~ # slackpkg install a/*
And so on for every package set (xap, l, n, etc). After doing this, I haven't experienced any problems compiling or running software. My /var/log/packages shows around 620 packages I believe, so that's a good guideline if you want to get up to a full Slackware install.

In case it would be helpful, here's a list of the packages I needed to install:

- gcc-4.8.2-x86_64-1
- gcc-g++-4.8.2-x86_64-1
- glibc-2.17-x86_64-7
- glibc-solibs-2.17-x86_64-7
- libmpc-0.8.2-x86_64-2
- libxml2-2.9.1-x86_64-1
- libxslt-1.1.28-x86_64-1
- kernel-headers-3.10.17-x86-3

These will allow you to install the nginx slackbuild.

if you got a slackware64 minimal install and you don't want to get mad with dependencies, maybe the easiest way out is to issue a
Code:
slackpkg install slackware64
to switch to a full install.

Thanks for the tip, ponce! That may help others with the same issue, but I prefer to keep these servers lean since I don't need much software on them and I have limited disk space.

I was also disappointed with the Linode-provided Slackware images - they are just missing too many useful things. Creating a minimal image for server provisioning is on my long list of things to do.

Linode also took too long to release updated images, completely skipping 14.0.

As another Linoder trying to set up a Slackware 14.1 server, thanks for the info on additional needed packages.

FYI, see here for usage stats on Linode distros - Arch is at 1.8%, and Slackware doesn't register at all.
