I'm attempting to build a new version of wireshark 1.10 on a RHEL5 box with the intent of making an RPM so that customers that I support can install it. Possibly others if I can find a place to host it.
WS1.10 depends on GTK+ as well as several other libraries that aren't supported by the available rpm packages. Therefore, I have to build them by hand. GTK+ needs pango(1.24.5) with cairo(1.8.8) support.
After having built and installed a newer version of cairo from source, a ./configure of pango gives the following error
checking for CAIRO... yes
checking which cairo font backends could be used... none
configure: Disabling cairo support
and then at the end ./configure displays
configuration:
backends: X
I can verify that Cairo is installed by looking at the pkg_config in my /usr/local/lib.
I've even taken a look at the pango config.log. But I don't see anything that is any different then the messages I copypasta'ed above.
What are some places I should be looking to figure out a less terse error message? I'm kind of at a loss troubleshooting this.
I encountered this issue today and solved it by installing HARFBUZZ, which is mentioned in the README file of Pango. After installation of Harfbuzz we have access to FreeType. So follow this procedure:
Build and install FreeType
Build and install fontconfig
Build and install Cairo (after ./configure please make sure freetype and fontconfig are found)
Build and install Harfbuzz
Build and install Pango
In case of you still have problems even though you are following the guideline of Xiao Jia, take care to look into config.log. It will help you to find out why the package does not find particular components on your system. In my case the fontconfig-devel and freetype-devel package from default repository of my distro was too old.
I could manage it by installing the whole stack into a location outside of /usr (not that difficult as it sounds) by adding configuration file to /etc/ld.so.conf.d and a environment expanding script to /etc/profile.d.

Background:
I've been using the gloss library for some simple diagram work. But when it came time for something more interactive, I found I wanted a more powerful library. After doing some research, I decided that I liked the features of the SDL library and wanted to try to install the Haskell bindings for it. I have to this point been unsuccessful.
Part 1:
How do I install and configure the SDL binaries so that they can be used by the Haskell bindings?
Part 2:
Which one of the numerous and ill documented SDL packages on Hackage it the current preferred binding in the community? How do I get that package to install correctly?
Part 3: (Optional)
If SDL is not a good fit for haskell development what is the preferred alternative?
I am going to answer your question for SDL2 (should also work for SDL1 with some modifications).
Install pkg-config for Windows
(How to install pkg config in windows?)
This tool is very important. It is used by various Cabal packages to search for libraries and contains directions for linking and compiling.
Download the SDL development libraries for Windows/MinGW:
http://libsdl.org/release/SDL2-devel-2.0.3-mingw.tar.gz
If you have installed the 32-bit version of the Haskell platform, extract the folder i686-w64-mingw32
For 64-bit versions extract x86_64-w64-mingw32
You will get following layout:
include
share
bin
lib
"Register" the library with pkg-config.
Either copy lib/pkgconfig/sdl2.pc into the folder of your pkg-config.exe or modify/create the PKG_CONFIG_PATH accordingly. Check that you set up everything correctly:
C:\pkg-config --list-all | grep sdl2
sdl2 sdl2 - Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia
library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard,
mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer.
Add the bin folder to your PATH environment variable.
Install the sdl2 package via the Cabal installer and tell Cabal where to find your libraries.
Example:
cabal install sdl2 --extra-include-dirs=C:\lib\sdl2\include --extra-lib-dirs=C:\lib\sdl2\lib\
To test my installation, I have written a small example:
https://github.com/ftl2014/haskell-stuff/blob/master/sdl/
Caveat emptor:
If Cabal complains about a "missing" library, it might be the case that library was actually found but it is incompatible (e.g. using a 32-bit instead of a 64-bit version) or corrupt. The same is true for header files.
For some reason, Cabal complained about not finding SDL.h, and I had to use the headers in the root include folder of the archive (but maybe I was just drinking too much Kool-aid).
I wasn't able to get it to install on my system. Here's what I tried. Strangely, I was able to get configure find the header files but not the actual binary.
Let's try it. I have installed the new 2014 Haskell Platform.
cabal install sdl
Configuring SDL-0.6.5...
setup.exe: The package has a './configure' script. This requires a Unix
compatibility toolchain such as MinGW+MSYS or Cygwin.
Failed to install SDL-0.6.5
GHC in the Haskell Platform comes with MinGW, so we probably need to install MSYS. The MSYS page says to install minggw get, which says to install
An automated GUI installer assistant called mingw-get-setup.exe is the preferred method for first time installation. This will guide you through the setup of the mingw-get installer proper; you will then use this to perform further package installations, and to manage your installation.
Running the installer with the default options gives us the following screen:
We already have mingw from installing the Haskell platform, so we'll click on only the last item in the list, msys-base, and select "Mark for Installation". Then, in the "Installation" menu in the top left, select "Apply Changes". This asks if it is ok to proceed, and we select "Apply"
This installer didn't put msys-base in the path, we can add it to the path, and try installing sdl again
set PATH=C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin\;%PATH%
cabal install sdl
Configuring SDL-0.6.5...

please send a mail to the address that appears in ./configure --version
indicating your platform, the version of configure script and the problem.
Failed to install SDL-0.6.5
We need to download and install libsdl. I went to the libsdl download page and downloaded the Win32 development libraries, SDL-devel-1.2.15-mingw32.tar.gz. I extracted this archive (7-zip can extract both tar archives and gzip compressed files). For convenience, I moved the SDL-1.2.15 directory to c:. We'll add this to the path, as suggested by the previous error, and try again
set PATH=C:\SDL-1.2.15\bin\;%PATH%
cabal install sdl
* Missing (or bad) header file: SDL/SDL.h
* Missing C library: SDL
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
We can make part of this error go away by adding the suggested --extra-include-dirs flag, but still get the following error
cabal install sdl --extra-include-dirs=c:\SDL-1.2.15\include
* Missing C library: SDL
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
Adding the --extra-lib-dirs flag with c:\SDL-1.2.15\bin or C:\SDL-1.2.15\lib or c:\SDL-1.2.15 failed to fix this problem.
I am trying to install the Vision Workbench on my computer, following the instructions from this homepage: http://lunokhod.org/?p=13. I have installed all dependencies but I have libboost1.54-all-dev instead since I am using Mint 17 (Ubuntu 14.4).
After that I have created the config.options file I do ./autogen and ./configure.
However, I get the following in the logfile:
configure:20861: /usr/include/boost is missing these required libraries: BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS BOOST_FILESYSTEM BOOST_THREAD
Checking for a boost in /usr/include/boost-*
Checking for a boost in /usr/local/cuda/include
Checking for a boost in /usr/local/cuda/include/boost-*
configure:20875: checking for package BOOST
HAVE_PKG_BOOST=no
However, in /usr/include/boost/ I have booth program_options, filesystem and thread.
The .so files are under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ for opencv, boost and flann, but somehow it can only find flann.
Does anyone have an idea about where the error might be?
EDIT: In the log-file I saw that the program looked for cxcore when it searched for opencv, but in the new version it is called opencv_core so I did a symbolic link from cxcore to opencv_core and then ./configure finds opencv. However, boost is still a problem and is necessary to build the program.
EDIT2:
I have now downloaded an earlier version of boost (1.42), and almost all boost programs are found except BOOST_THREAD. When I install the boost library I get the following messages:
error: #error "Threading support unavaliable: it has been explicitly disabled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS"
/ Erik
try running
./configure --with-boost="path/to/boost"
if you have more than one version of boost installed, you may need to also set environment variables
HAVE_PKG_BOOST=yes
PKG_BOOST_CPPFLAGS=/path/to/boost
PKG_BOOST_LDFLAGS=/path/to/boost
I'm trying to install the software TinyOWS on a Linux computer. The source code is written in C programming language. I don't have much experience with installing C or C++ programs from source code on Linux. I read installation instructions, and it says that I must follow 3 steps after I unzip the source code folder:
./configure
make
make install
When I run ./configure, I get the following error:
checking for xml2-config... /usr/bin/xml2-config
checking for libxml2 version... 2.7.6
configure: error: You need at least libxml 2.8.0
This means that the software being installed requires version 2.8.0 of a library called libxml2 but my computer only has the 2.7.6 version. Unfortunately I found out that I cannot easily install the libxml 2.8.0 on my Linux distribution. The reason why the software TinyOWS that I'm trying to install requires libxml2.8.0 of the library is because libxml2.7.6 has a small bug. But most of the functionality of the software is not affected by the bug.
So, here is my question:
What files do I have to edit or what command line options do I need to use If I want the ./configure command to use the library libxml2.7.6 instead of libxml2.8.0?
Get the source, in the file configure.in replace the line:
AC_MSG_ERROR([You need at least libxml 2.8.0])
By
AC_MSG_NOTICE([You need at least libxml 2.8.0])
Then, do:
autoreconf -f -i -s
./configure
make
The configure step will not stop. But i think if the developpers have restricted this version of libxml2 there must be a good reason.
I have an embedded application written in C++ (running on a PowerPC in linux environment) which accesses an external database. So my application needs mysql++ libraries which needs to be built using a powerpc compiler. Before building the libraries, I wanted to build mysql++ libraries for linux on my Ubuntu VM to check the procedure. I downloaded the latest package from Official Website. Then I followed the steps mentioned.
Ran ./configure from the root directory, I got the below error.
*checking for MySQL library directory... configure: error: Didn't find mysqlclient library in '/usr/lib64 /usr/lib /usr/lib64/mysql /usr/lib/mysql /usr/local/lib64 /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/mysql /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql /usr/mysql/lib/mysql /opt/mysql/lib /opt/mysql/lib/mysql /sw/lib /sw/lib/mysql'*
I tried locate mysqlclient and did not find any references, hence I followed instructions given in other forums and tried to install the libmysqlclient15-dev using the below command.
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev
The output is as shown below

After this I tried to locate libmysqlclient and I still couldn't find the libraries (.so files). I tried ./configure again and it failed in the same location with the same error message. How can I install libmysqlclient ?
Once this is solved I will rebuild the mysql++ library using my toolchain for powerpc. Has anyone tried this ? To build mysql++ library I need mysqlclient, in the earlier example I would install it by executing the command apt-get, but the libraries would be compiled using a gnu compiler ? How to cross compile mysqlclient for powerpc ? I guess I need to do the below
Build mysqlclient for powerpc.
Use those libraries and build mysql++ libraries for powerpc.
Use mysql++ and mysqlclient libraries in my application and compile for powerpc.
I am new to linux and databases.
I finally solved this problem. I did the below.
Downloaded the Connector/C (libmysql) source files from here
Cross compiled it for powerpc, below is the command given to cmake
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="~/mysqlclient_C/lib" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="ppc_4xx-gcc" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-I/opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/usr/include/" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="ppc_4xx-g++" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/usr/include/" -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-lm"
Then a simple make generated the libmysql libraries.
Downloaded mysql++ source files from here
Cross compiled it for powerpc, below is my configure command
./configure --target=powerpc-linux --host=powerpc-linux --prefix="$HOME/mysql++/lib" --enable-thread-check --with-mysql="$HOME/mysqlclient_C/lib" CC=ppc_4xx-gcc CXX=ppc_4xx-g++ LDFLAGS=-lm CFFLAGS="-I/opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/usr/include" CXXFLAGS="-I/opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/usr/include"
The mysql++ libraries is generated now.
I have not tested the built libraries yet.
I am trying to compile the openlase library from www.marcansoft.com and have been running into problems with CMake. CMake is returning an error stating that it cannot find Curses, and after a lot of looking I am still stumped as to what the issue is. I have checked that I have the various ncurses packages installed but still the error persists. Im not very familiar with CMake but I was able to resolve other dependency issues that arose before this one. The following is the output in terminal.
tom#SILVER:~/dev/openlase$ cmake ./

Here is what fixed my problems on Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 (64 bit) (Thanks syslogic )
For whatever reason (1:00 am maybe?) setting CURSES_USE_NCURSES TRUE didn't seem to work. So I went with a hack job.
Verified it's installed:
$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
You will see something to the effect: libncurses5-dev is already the newest version.
So find the library and include.
$ locate libncurses.so
Note location, mine: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so
$ locate curses.h
Note location again, mine:
/usr/include
In: <cmake source dir>/Modules/FindCurses.cmake
add at the top, right after the comments
set( CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH "/usr/include")
set( CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so")
then rinse repeat the build process
./bootstrap
make
sudo make install
ccmake should now be installed.
Your pal,
Another way to fix it is to add these 2 lines to FindCurses.cmake (on top):
set(CURSES_LIBRARY "/opt/lib/libncurses.so")
set(CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH "/opt/include")
Temporarily set CURSES_USE_NCURSES to TRUE to force the use of NCURSES, rather than letting CMake try to find CURSES.
Do you have the corresponding -dev package installed too? On Ubuntu (and probably anything derived from Debian) it is libncurses5-dev. Other systems may use -devel or similar tags.
The compiler is looking for the library headers, and those aren't provided by the standard package. (The headers aren't needed at runtime, only when compiling software, so they make it easy to remove extra useless stuff for systems that aren't going to be doing any software compiling.)
The openlase wiki was not displaying all of the needed packages. Check there wiki pages on github for updated instructions. For curses the missing package was libncurses5-dev sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
Temporarily set CURSES_NEED_NCURSES to TRUE to force the use of NCURSES, rather than letting CMake try to find CURSES.
set(CURSES_NEED_NCURSES TRUE)
CURSES_USE_NCURSES is used by FindCurses.cmake internally, so setting that won't help.
