Title: gettext error in ./configure (Sol 10 sp)
Post by: xushi on May 19, 2005, 08:31:44 AM
Hi all,

This is a weird issue that only started with 2.0.1, and the latest CVS snapshots on my solaris machine..

./configure no longer works properly. It reaches gettext, sees it, even prints the version of autopoint, but insists that i don't have it installed  ?(

Code: [Select]

make sure you are using GNU sed instead of SUN sed. For that, symlink gsed to sed somewhere in your path, and try the ./configure again. Same for autopoint, symlinkg gautopoint to autopoint

Regards.

Doh,

I've simlinked all of them, but sed was the only one the machine insisted on using Sun's version and not the GNU one.. :)

/me double checks all simlinks again..

Anyway, i'll keep you updated on the other make problem, and i'll see about Sun's compiler too.

Solved the configure problem by installing the latest gettext from pkgsrc to get autopoint. Using NetBSD 2.0 and the system gettext don't seem contain it.

Thanks, xushi it would be nice trying to compile using the SUN compilers. Also, it would be nice if aMule would compile using the SUN tools, not only with the GNU ones (especially sed, grep and gettext)

Regards.

Hi,
at least it already works with the Solaris make :) Does anyone of you two have the SUN C Compiler? Where can I get it?

Greets,
André

I believe you can find it on your Solaris CD if not installed already.

The thing is, i'm trying to get atleast one successful compile on the sun with the GNU tools. It just wont work. I keep getting a new error every day.

Currently, in make, i get
ld: fatal: library -lbfd: not found
Code: [Select]

ld: fatal: library -lbfd: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to amule

make: *** [all] Error 2
xushi@yooniks:~/stuff/aMule-2.0.1$

Same with the CVS. If i can get this all to work, then i can move to the SUN Tools, and the Studio 10.

bfd library comes in binutils. Install it, either from blastwave or from Companion CD.

Regards.
Title: Re: gettext error in ./configure (Sol 10 sp)
Post by: xushi on May 20, 2005, 08:41:56 PM
Hmm, I've installed all of SUNWbinutils, SUNWbinutilsS from solaric CDs, and binutils from blastwave. I still get the make error, and searching for the library yields no results.. =/

# find / -name \*lbfd\* -print

EDIT:
The closest i can find is
Code: [Select]
/opt/csw/lib/libbfd.a
/opt/csw/lib/libbfd.la
/opt/csw/include/bfd.h
/opt/csw/include/bfdlink.h

EDIT 2:
in ./configure output
Code: [Select]
checking for bfd headers... yesSo it can see it.. bah.. why  ?(

Maybe it has /opt/csw/include in the include dirs but no /opt/csw/lib in the libdirs.

Try adding -L/opt/csw/lib to the LDFLAGS environment variable?

Do you mean adding it to the Makefile?
Code: [Select]
LDFLAGS =   -lpthread -L/opt/csw/lib
If yes, that didn't do anything =/


EDIT:
======
I think using
./configure --with-this --with-that  LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib && make  
did the job, but i'm working on another error at the moment (yes folks, 7th error now.. it never ends).. =)

Will keep you updated.

if you read my guide, yiou will notice this:

7.  Set these two environment wariables:
CPPFLAGS='-I /opt/csw/include'
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/csw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/lib

LD_LIBRARY_PATH does the trick for you.

Regards.

Post by: xushi on May 22, 2005, 09:47:53 AM
It never did.. that's the problem. =)

I eventually had to do
./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib

But the problem in the end turnd out to be that the bfd library was in /usr/local/lib, and sun doesn't like that directory for libraries..
Code: [Select]
 Default Library Path (ELF):   /lib:/usr/lib  (system default)
  Trusted Directories (ELF):    /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure  (system default)
I had to create simlinks of the libraries to /usr/lib for now.

I know in linux i use ld.so.conf to configure the library paths, but from what i can see that's not the same in Solaris. And running crle told me default configuration file not found... And asking around, i was told to stay away from /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib
Title: Re: gettext error in ./configure (Sol 10 sp)
Post by: skolnick on May 22, 2005, 06:18:03 PM
Hmm...strange...I have never read anything about staying away from /usr/local...no idea why they could tell that. Have you asked on a solaris mail list or forums? because I would be very interested in knowing the reasons why they tell that...and I have found that the solution to the missing ldconfig in solaris, is something like adding "-R/your/library/path" to the compilation (or linking) stage, but I have never done such thing, therefore I always need to declare LD_LIBRARY_PATH before launching my amule (in fact, I made an script which declares that only for amule ;))

Regards.

skolnick, i got the information from a friend who directed me to
man filesystem

/usr/local

         Not part of the  SVR4-based  Solaris  distribution.  The
         /usr  directory is exclusively for software bundled with

         machine-local  add-on  software,  create  the  directory

Well, i've finally managed to get amule running on my system. I'm using Solaris 10 sparc, GNU compilers (soon to be changed to the sun suite), and wxGTK 2.6. With the current CVS, i used

./configure --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver --disable-monolithic --enable-amule-daemon --enable-optimise --enable-gtk
and
--enable-gtk2

Compiling takes around 25 min... but all work fine, however,

--enable-amule-daemon
gives an error

Its a new one, so i didn't have time to look for the solution, so currently i just ignore that prefix.


The previous problem,
Code: [Select]

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to amule
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
               
EDIT:
======
The problem still exists here.. hmm =/ for a quick solution (and i dont think its the best one out there), just comment out this line in src/amule-gui.cpp
Code: [Select]
XParseGeometry(unicode2char(geom_string), &geometry_x, &geometry_y, &geometry_width, &geometry_height);
Most of the other 15 odd problems i had were my machine's fault in sticking libraries everywhere but the required place..

I'll keep testing, and keep you all updated. Will switch to the Sun compiler suite soon.

ohh...that filesystem info was really useful, xushi! I had no idea of such thing, but I'll correct my filesystem layout ASAP. BTW: nice to read you got amule running on your SPARC system, and I hope my advices were useful and not misleading.

Also, I thought the --enable-gtk2 was a wxGTK switch, not an amule one... ?(

Heh, i took alot of advice from you skolnick =) Your guide was very useful. When i have the time, i'll try and contribute some errors and solutions to it if you like.

Hmm, you're quite right.. I didn't realise that, and from what i see in the configure file, there's isn't even any --enable-gtk or --enable-gtk2 ..

I think i've already compiled wxGTK with --enable-gtk2, but recompiling again will be faster than finding out if i did or not :) So more updates later on tonight..

I just want to sort out that amuled-AICHSyncThread.o issue, then i'm going to make a move to Sun's studio and compiler.

And btw skolnick, feel free to use my system for any testing you'd like to do at any time.

Glad it was useful. Of course, any suggestion or error correction you have, PM me and I'll correct the original post. Of course, all credits will go to you ;)

you can use wx-config to know which parameters you used to compile wxGTK. Don't remember now which parameter should you give to it (--libs, maybe) but it can be done.

I can't help you on this one, since I know not enough C++ to even understand the code :(

If i can trouble you for a moment, wxGTK 2.6 is being a b*ch on solaris. It says
Code: [Select]
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the

Post by: skolnick on May 23, 2005, 08:04:22 PM
no bother for me at all, I've seen the exact same failure here, that's why my amule on solaris is linked against GTK1 only (no unicode available with GTK1 :(). If you check the config.log file, you will see that when it checks for GTK2 and fails, the reason for failing is not the absence of GTK2, is that in the compilation command of the test program, there is an "unknown option m" specified. Searching in google, I found that seems to be a thread model in some architecture/OS, but in solaris should be pthread instead of m, so that's the failure (at least on my system, YMMV) that could be a start point for your investigation on this GTK2 issue.

Regards.
