building from trunk failed

[rion]

just tried to build oolite from trunk on my gentoo system but got next error

Code: Select all

src/Core/Entities/Entity.m:53: error: static declaration of 'class_getInstanceSize' follows non-static declaration

oolite-1.73.4 builds and works fine

Is this the only error you get? It builds successfully on other distributions of Linux, plus Win and Mac as is.

Things I would check:
1. What version of GCC are you running? Versions 3.4.2 (used on Windows) and 4.0 and 4.2 (used on Mac (I think)) do fine there.
2. You seem to be building with 'make use_distro_deps'. Try building using gnustep-base 1.18 by running just make, all necessary files should be included in the trunk tree. It could be some gnustep-1.20 incompatibility.
3. What is OOINLINE defined as in your system?

compilation just stops here. so the only

related part of ebuild

Code: Select all

src_compile() {
	cd deps/Cross-platform-deps/SpiderMonkey/js/src
	BUILD_OPT=1 make -f Makefile.ref || die "make failed"
	cd "${S}"
	make debug=no || die "make failed"
}

ok, i've rolled back to gnustep-base-0.18 and gnustep-gui-0.16 and Entity.m compiled w/o errors. so yes its compatibility issue.
but i got another error:

i have zlib 1.2.5 and bunch of programs compiled with it if it makes sense.
related line of zconf.h looks like

Code: Select all

typedef unsigned char  Byte;  /* 8 bits */

which seems to be ok
i didn't check pngconf.h error though

3. What is OOINLINE defined as in your system?

I don't know what is this and where to check

[another_commander]

Good to know that it was gnustep-1.20 that was the problem and it's fixed with 1.18.

The other error you are getting now (zconf.h line 333) is under investigation. The pngconf.h one in line 366 is due to setjmp.h being included in some other header and libpng does not allow its inclusion again. Yesterday I commited some code for saving PNG screenshots and, apparently, either including png.h in MyOpenGLView.m or something in the PNG saving code itself is causing Linux to blow up, although Windows seem to go fine with it. We hope to be able to resolve this relatively quickly. Unfortunately, I do not have a Linux system to run checks on, so I need to wait for one of our Linux gurus to comment.

Oh, and don't worry about OOINLINE, it looks like it was unrelated after all.

[Diziet Sma]

Unfortunately, I do not have a Linux system to run checks on, so I need to wait for one of our Linux gurus to comment.

So install Sun VirtualBox, then you can run any number of Linux flavours inside Windows.. (or vice-versa..)

I do both.. it's very handy for testing.. especially the way you can revert to a snapshot of the system if you break something..

now it fails on pulseaudio linking, which is not installed on my system at all.
as far as i see, oolite itself doesn't use pulseaudio, but espeak can be linked with it (at least on gentoo). so probably its better to make pulseaudio optional or exclude it at all.

[Getafix]

Suggestion #1
Install the missing library libpulse-dev.

Suggestion #2
Do not install libpulse-dev, but build with distro-release option.
In that case you will most probably need to install the libespeak-dev library (with all its dependencies).

[rion]

Suggestion #1
Install the missing library libpulse-dev.

not acceptable on gentoo since there is no separate library. moreover i don't want to have whole pulseaudio installed just to make oolite linkable

Suggestion #2
Do not install libpulse-dev, but build with distro-release option.
In that case you will most probably need to install the libespeak-dev library (with all its dependencies).

distro-release option ? can you give me example?

i looked in makefile and pulse is hardcoded there when espeak is enabled, so oolite won't link w/o libpulse in any case.
and i have gentoo system. so i already have dev packages installed for everything

to make it work either with pulseaudio or w/o it its enough to just remove -lpulse string from makefile.
i can't say anything about other systems except gentoo though.

[another_commander]

You can try from a clean source tree checkout:

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile distro-release

-lpulse is not used when building with the distro's dependencies.

thanks for clarification. now it compiles w/o errors =)

gentoo users can try my 9999(trunk) ebuild as always by adding "rion" overlay and unmasking this package

about compatibility issue with latest gnustep-base

error refers to first declaration in /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers/ObjectiveC2/runtime.h
which looks like

Code: Select all

size_t class_getInstanceSize(Class cls);

as you can see its not static.

i also noticed that this function is not declared anywhere in the previous version of gnustep-base.

so probably a trivial solution will be conditional compiling of this function in oolite.

anyone?..

i've uploaded ready to apply patch http://filebin.ca/skftnm/oolite-gnustep-1.20.patch

[Kaks]

Thanks rion! I'm not sure when we're going to go from our present - fairly old - gnustep build system to a more recent one, but when we do we'll definitely use your work!

this patch does not abolish support for old versions of gnustep-base. so its safe to apply it, but probably i'd made it more proper if had experience in gnustep programming.
anyway it just works =)
