[solved] Error during LE8 compile

MoHawka · July 16, 2017 at 8:04 PM

Ive been trying to compile le8 but I get an error at gdate. I think it has to do with pkg-config on my host but Im not sure. I have found some patches that address the issue but they are old and I think Im not reading the error correctly. I have a fully updated arch-linux build with devel-base installed. During the first run of my attempts it prompted me to install a couple packages which I did. I think this is the relevant code below. I also have a link to the terminal-output. I tried pastebin but it said I had exceeded 512kb. Thanks for looking

relevant code?

I have a fully updated arch-linux build with devel-base installed.

this is properly the problem (we are more or less just supporting Ubuntu 16.04 and ARCH is much much more up to date) - you could try if master compiles

Seems similar problem: Compile error with latest master

Much easier to make virtual machine with Ubuntu or using docker.

I usually install this:

# pacman -S base-devel wget bc gperf zip xorg-mkfontscale xorg-mkfontdir xorg-bdftopcf libxslt jre8-openjdk-headless perl-xml-parser go git unzip python patchutils lzop

I'm building without issue on Arch, although I have applied a number of fixes that may or may not have been upstreamed.

First thing you should do is upgrade pkg-config with the commit from master.

My tree is here if you get stuck on something else and want to cross check for fixes. Another good place to check for fixes are in the Arch source repositories. As it's a rolling distribution, you'll find a lot of patches applied to various software in order for it to compile with later versions of whatever tool is used during build.

Thank You. I'll try your suggestions

I was able to successfully build except this time when I first ran the script it said I was missing libjson-perl and asked if I wanted to install. I said yes, and it was not found in the arch repo because the package is called perl-json so got that installed and I was building. Then I got to vice and it cried about xa missing. Installed that and didnt fix it even after reboot. So I went to /lib and found libXaw.so so I think I got it in the correct folder. But after three attempts at getting it to compile a pkg that I wouldn't even use I just cleaned it then no further errors and so far it has booted but haven't really played with it but I'm sure that it should be as good as if escalade built it as I didn't really do anything other then run a script.

Thank you escalade for putting together such a great distro it really has everything you could ask for in a htpc.
