libsndfile from Slackbuilds.org fails to build...

Hi all,

I'm having trouble building libsndfile from the repository on slackbuilds.org. I'm using Slackware 12.1 and building from the 12.1 repository.

Right at the end, I get this error:

Code:

/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so: undefined reference to `dlsym'
/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so: undefined reference to `dlerror'
/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so: undefined reference to `dlopen'
/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so: undefined reference to `dlclose'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [sndfile-regtest] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/libsndfile-1.0.17/regtest'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Which is kind of a bummer.

Does anyone know how to build libsndfile successfully?

Thanks,

-Drew

I remember I had some other troubles when I tried to compile it.
However, I have libsndfile installed, and its' package is called libsndfile-1.0.17-i486-1irn.tgz . You can search for it, but it is probably available at linuxpackages.net.

Remember to google this stuff. It's all there.

http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=3555

Just append:

Code:

LDFLAGS="-ldl" \

On the line before CFLAGS as a brute force solution. Looks like some autoconfigury tweaking is needed in the sqlite source.

Might also want to use a devel version of libsndfile. I've been doing so for quite awhile with no ill effect.

1.0.18pre24h is the latest...

Yeah, a quick google search led me to this post. He had the same problem with libsndfile from slackbuilds.

I just built it for both 12.1 and 12.2 with the 12.2 build. you should have qt 3.8 installed from your slackware distro. is is calling for the libraries in sqlite so either way use qt or sqtlite. you need qt to build this. the build must be done as root

Thanks for the responses, folks. I'll give the suggestions a try.

I've got qt installed. I'll make sure it's version 3.8. I've also got sqlite installed, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks again,

-Drew

I really don't think QT has anything to do with anything. I just ran configure to double check.

Why would libsndfile need QT? It doesn't. Not that I can see anyway.

Also, I'm using sqlite-3.6.6.2 and libsndfile-1.0.18pre24h compiles just fine against it. No need for any extra arguments...

You'll like this solution Drew:
src2pkg http://www.mega-nerd.com/tmp/libsndf...8pre24h.tar.gz
That works even with my older sqlite3-3.5.6 here.

*grin* Of course! I should have tried that.

I really need to check my sqlite installation.

In any event, why does src2pkg work when the Slackbuild script doesn't? What magic have you got going on in there, Gilbert?

No, it's not really because of src2pkg. As Jong357 pointed out, it's just the libsndfile version that was the problem. But, since the salckbuild doesn't contain any special instructions, src2pkg easily handles the build without any options. the patch included in tthe SlackBuild is only needed if you are using an old version of flac. If that is your case, still just placing the patch in the current dir will have it applied for you.
Since I have your attention, Drew, I hope you will be able to do a little updating on the wiki soon. I'm getting really close ot a new release of src2pkg, and after 10 months of changes you can imagine how far it has come!

No problem. Send me an e-mail as soon as things are ready. I'm eager to do a little testing and wiki editing.
