What's the proper way to build a multi-arch Debian package? - linux

Every time I try to build bluez I get the error:
dh_install: libbluetooth3 missing files (usr/lib/*/libbluetooth.so.3), aborting
Looking in my own path I see that the currently installed version of the library is located at:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbluetooth.so.3
But the build script (fakeroot debian/rules binary) keeps putting the output into usr/lib/libbluetooth.so.3.

To specify the correct folder you need to declare the environment variable DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH and use the binary-arch target (though binary may suffice as documentation suggests binary calls both binary-arch and binary-indep):
DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH=x86_64-linux-gnu debian/rules binary-arch
The value was chosen based off of the current install path of libbluetooth.so.3 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbluetooth.so.3) and could possibly change if the Debian distribution you're running places 64bit binaries elsewhere.

llvm-sys - Didn't find usable system wide LLVM. But llvm-config is installed

I have built llvm-13.0.1 from source using Visual Studio 17 2022 on Windows 11. When attempting to build llvm-sys (through external crate llvm-ir). It fails, saying:
error: No suitable version of LLVM was found system-wide or pointed to by LLVM_SYS_130_PREFIX.
I know llvm-config exists because I can use it from the command line, and it returns the correct version. I don't understand why this doesn't work. This might be a stupid question but I am really stuck.
I was also having this problem, trying to use llvm-sys on Windows. Here are some mistakes that I did that made it fail to compile just like yours.
Installation Prefix
Make sure that your LLVM installation path doesn't have any whitespace.
Mine was -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Program Files (x86)\LLVM, which was their default install prefix. The whitespace in the installation path causes some errors when using it with llvm-sys. Later, I changed it to C:\LLVM and it worked.
Set Environment Variable
Set Environment Variable LLVM_SYS_<version>_PREFIX to the installed LLVM folder.
From CMD For LLVM-13.0.1
setx LLVM_SYS_130_PREFIX "<PATH TO LLVM WITHOUT WHITESPACE>" /M
Make sure that the variable is registered by using echo command
echo %LLVM_SYS_130_PREFIX%
It should output your registered path, not %LLVM_SYS_130_PREFIX%.
If it doesn’t output your path, restart the computer and try again and it should be working.
Now you should be good to go .....
Hope this helps :)

How to install Gnatcoll Postgres on Linux Centos 7

I have installed gprbuild, xmlada, and gnatcoll. I am now attempting to install gnatcoll_postgres. Which I have downladed from here: https://github.com/AdaCore/gnatcoll-db/
Within the Postgres folder is a Makefile, which I execute like so...
[parallels#localhost postgres]$ ls
gnatcoll_postgres.gpr gnatcoll-sql-postgres-gnade.ads
gnatcoll-sql-postgres.adb gnatcoll-sql-ranges.adb
gnatcoll-sql-postgres.ads gnatcoll-sql-ranges.ads
gnatcoll-sql-postgres-builder.adb Makefile
gnatcoll-sql-postgres-builder.ads postgres_support.c
gnatcoll-sql-postgres-gnade.adb README.md
[parallels#localhost postgres]$ make Makefile
which: no gnatls in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin:/home/parallels/.local/bin:/home/parallels/bin)
make: Nothing to be done for `Makefile'.
[parallels#localhost postgres]$
Would anybody please be able to tell me what this means...
which: no gnatls in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin:/home/parallels/.local/bin:/home/parallels/bin)
make: Nothing to be done for `Makefile'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please see the xmlada and gnatcoll in my project below, does this look like it's installed correctly? I'm presuming this isn't correct...
Thanks,
Lloyd
It means that your GNAT installation binaries aren’t on your PATH.
The README.txt from the adacore.com site says, in part,
To start using the tools in command-line mode, you will need to add
{install_prefix}/bin
to your PATH environment variable. Alternatively, you can simply launch
{install_prefix}/bin/gps
and GPS will automatically add itself to the PATH - it will also find the
cross compiler, if you have installed everything in the default locations.
Note that GPS will add this at the end of the PATH, meaning that it will find first any other GNAT installations that you have in your PATH.
I strongly suspect that you’ve been doing the latter, so that GPS adds itself (actually, of course, its own location) to the PATH, so that when it launches the compiler it finds the correct one.
When you run make from the terminal, the compiler isn’t on the PATH, so neither are gnatls, gprconfig, gprbuild and the rest of the GNAT tools.
What you need to do is to take the first choice from the README, and add /home/parallel/opt/GNAT/2019/bin to (the front of) your default PATH. How you do that depends on your shell.
You will find xmlada, gnatcoll already installed.

After reviewing your additional comments, I believe I have potential solution. It looks like you are trying to install some Perl modules via the default Perl shell, cpan. As part of the installation process, the make utility is being executed. This utility is heavily used for compiling and building source from C and C++ source code, along with other languages.
The make utility is trying to call some executable i686-linux-gnu-ld which is a linker, see ld. A linker is a utility used in C programming for linking (combining) multiple compiled object files into a single executable binary. make is calling this utility as some sort of build process. Instead of calling i686-linux-gnu-ld it should probably just be calling ld. The only thing I am not sure about is why it is using the full name of the utility instead of ld.
I can think of two solutions. The first would be to update the make file to use the correct name for the linker. I'm not sure how you would do this when it is being installed via cpan since it is downloading a package and executing the make file before you have a chance to modify it. The other option is to create a symbolic link from the incorrect name and path of ld that the make file is using to the correct path /opt/bin/ld. This will result in ld being called when i686-linux-gnu-ld is called. Also, I forgot to mention it earlier but the which command will tell you where an executable / command is located on your shell's path.
The Stack Overflow post, How to symlink a file in Liunx?, gives a good explanation of how to create a symlink. You need to create a symlink to point to the correct name and path of the linker. To do so run the following command:
ln -s /opt/bin/ld /usr/bin/i686-linux-gnu-ld
Depending on the permissions of these directories you may need to run this command under a account with elevated permissions or via sudo. I apologize for this post being rather long and verbose. I just wanted to explain my solution in detail. I hope this helps. Please let me know if this doesn't resolve the problem.
edit: fixed typo in the command.

Invalid Argument Running Google Go Binary in Linux

I’ve written a very small application in Go, and configured an AWS Linux AMI to host. The application is a very simple web server. I’ve installed Go on the Linux VM by following the instructions in the official documentation to the letter. My application runs as expected when invoked with the “go run main.go” command.
However, I receive an “Invalid argument” error when I attempt to manually launch the binary file generated as a result of running “go install”. Instead, if I run “go build” (which I understand to be essentially the same thing, with a few exceptions) and then invoke the resulting binary, the application launches as expected.
I’m invoking the file from within the $GOPATH/bin/ folder as follows:
./myapp
I’ve also added $GOPATH/bin to the $PATH variable.
I have also moved the binary from $GOPATH/bin/ to the src folder, and successfully run it from there.
The Linux instance is a 64-bit instance, and I have installed the corresponding Go 64-bit installation.
go build builds everything (that is, all dependent packages), then produces the resulting executable files and then discards the intermediate results (see this for an alternative take; also consider carefully reading outputs of go help build and go help install).
go install, on the contrary, uses precompiled versions of the dependent packages, if it finds them; otherwise it builds them as well, and installs under $PATH/pkg. Hence I might suggest that go install sees some outdated packages which screw the resulting build.
Consider running go install ./... in your $GOPATH/src.
Or may be just selective go install uri/of/the/package for each dependent package, and then retry building the executable.

Cannot run CMUSphinx program

I have installed CMUSphinx using this blog(Here). I did all the steps correctly. But when I executed a sample program provided in the same blog(This program). It shows me the following error
--------- ERRROR: ----------
Unable create vader.
Init failed...
I Don't know what to do. I am using Ubuntu 11.10/64bit. Is there any package I have not installed?
Most likely you didn't install the plugin correctly. Make sure that
plugin file is installed in the gstreamer folder. The plugin so file should be placed either in /usr/lib/gstreamer folder or GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable needs to be properly set.
gst-inspect shows the plugin. See the output of the gst-inspect to check if plugin is detected. Check GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable if it's not.
dynamic linker is properly configured. Check that pocketsphinx library is installed in /usr/lib or that LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is properly set to include the folder where pocketpshinx library is installed
See the gstreamer documentation and Linux linker documentation for more details.
