help with building codeblocks package using SlackBuild

darkflow · 05-26-2014, 02:52 PM

I'm trying to install Code::Blocks, the C++ IDE.

I followed the SlackBuilds README and after running the the SlackBuild script I should have had the package ready to install with the installpkg tool. The SlackBuild script created the SBo directory in the /tmp directory, but I cannot see the package which I can install with installpkg

/tmp/SBo cantains 2 directories:

codeblocks-13.12
package-codeblocks

the package-codeblocks directory is empty.

I think SlackBuild script did not build the package, because after running it i got the following errors:

Quote:

make[2]: *** [../../src/include/sdk_precomp.h.gch] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/codeblocks-13.12/src/include'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/codeblocks-13.12/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Can anyone help?

Did you look for the built package in /tmp? Finished Slackbuild packages from Slackbuilds.org are normally placed in /tmp, not the subdirectory. Try "ls -alt /tmp | head" and see what shows up.

The Slackbuild can be modified to have the package placed wherever you want in the filesystem.

EDIT:
The errors don't look good however. It simply may have not built the package due to errors. I can't help with the errors other than noting that the package requires wxPython which you should have built and installed first

Please post 10 lines or so before the first one already posted

as we miss the reason why this error occurred.

PS I just built and installed a package without issue for Slackware-14.0 and the IDE starts OK.

As pointed out by TracyTiger, did you build and install first wxPython? Also, did you make a full Slackware installation? I ask that because maintainers of SlackBuilds @ slackbuilds.org always assume that is the case, in other words dependencies included in a full Slackware installation are never listed.

Below is the complete SlackBuild error output.

I've just installed wxPython-2.8.12.1-i486-1ponce.txz, but still got the errors as above.

No, the installation is not a completely a full Slackware install, but libraries and other general stuff is pretty much fully installed. I did not omit much during installation.

Didier Spaier · 05-26-2014, 04:34 PM

Maybe you downloaded ponce's package for Slackware 14.0 instead of Slackware 14.1? I ask that because they have the same name.

If you are not sure, you can always build you own wxPython package using build material provided @ slackbuilds.org.

I assume that you installed Slackware14.1 (32 bits), not Slackware64-14.1. Is that right?

PS I confirm that the header files /usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/{filename.h,string.h} come from wxPython.

I think he has installed a 32 bit wxPython package on a 64 bit installation.

darkflow · 05-28-2014, 11:36 AM

yes, before I installed the 32 bit version. 64 bit is now installed instead and there seems to be no errors after running the script, but I cannot find the package to install with installpkg. Where would it normally be? I have the /tmp/SBo directory, which been created after running SlackBuild, with codeblocks stuff in it, but where is the package?

I've attached the output of the SlackBuild, but cut out the some of it to make it smaller than 256 kb so it could be attached.

ponce · 05-28-2014, 11:59 AM

you cutted the end, where it says where it has saved the package: where the final package is located is based on the value of the OUTPUT variable that by default it's set to /tmp, see the howto.

if you need to show logs to other people, maybe the best way is through pastebin (tutorial).

darkflow · 05-31-2014, 05:47 AM

it finally worked! noticed that I had installed the 32 bit version of wxWidgets at first on the 64 bit install. Solved by removing the 32 bit and installing the 64 bit version. Same mistake I've done with wxPython

Thanks for your responses
