[SOLVED] Building Guvcview

I am trying to build guvcview from the AUR on my eeepc, but the build fails with the message:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ludev
I have Googled this without success, and I have also searched for "ludev", also without success.
I would be grateful if someone could give me some ideas about how to resolve this.
Many thanks in advance

Many thanks for your quick reply, ConnorBehan.
Following your advice, I did some investigation, and things got more confusing:
1. /usr/bin/ld exists
2. /usr/lib/libudev.so exists
3. /lib contains a file called libudev.so.0, but not one called libudev.so.
So, I created a symlink "libudev.so" in /lib, linking to libudev.so.0, and everything worked!
Many thanks for your help, and for giving me the vital clue.

[SOLVED] Building 32bit gtk2 theme engines for binary 32bit apps

Hello, I love the nimbus theme and have installed it from the AUR.
Sadly, there are applications like acroread, foxitreader etc. that won't load the engine and use a nasty default saying
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so": /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(FoxitReader:10389): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libnimbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(FoxitReader:10389): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libnimbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
As far as I understand, especially since using the Clearlooks engine, everything works as intended. Clearlooks however has a 32bit version in
/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines
I want to be able to use the nimbus theme everywhere. However I can't figure out how to make a 32bit binary with the provided gcc and moreover, where to put the resulting files.
Please help, it really murders consistency and renders 64bit Arch a real pain in the a**. I know about the pure 64bit stance, but honestly, there are some apps that are simply only 32bit.

Okay so... status update.
I really wanted to make Acrobat Reader work with the Nimbus theme.
I used yaourt in a hastily set-up chroot and build the package from the aur (fortunately you can cancel the actual installation). I then copied the pkg.tar.gz to my desktop.
The 32bit Gtk themes are installed in:
/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines
I used the line from the AUR pkgbuild:
cp -rPf "$srcdir/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines" "$pkgdir/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0"
So, on my system:
cp -rPf /home/dan/Desktop/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/ /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/
after having unzipped the package - nimbus-0.1.2-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz.
The -r option means recursive, the -P option preserver permissions and the -f option checks if the destination file can be opened and if not, deletes it and recopies.
You will notice that in the above directory, you'll find 2 files - libnimbus.a and libnimbus.so
All the other themes only have the shared object file and the .a file is an archive as far as nautilus is concerned (can't open it, need ar apparently). Everything seems to work if you delete the .a file. I am not sure if the file is only appears with this theme, or with any theme installed this way.
So, finally, it worked. Acrobat opened and used the new theme.
But...
Vertical scrollbar problem
by LucasVieites on: May 4 2009
Hi, the vertical scrollbars overlap when viewing large documents. This screenshot is from Adobe Reader opening a 600 page document: http://www.codexion.com/files/pdf_reader_nimbus.png
I hope this can be solved.
from the gnome-look.org site.
So, it's bugged. The theme. Anyway, the tutorial should work just fine on any non-standard theme you need to use in 32bit apps. It could probably be automated a bit more and perhaps with a multilib gcc, you could do it some other way.
The point is you really need the libnimbus.so. The shared resources are architecture independent and the standard path will work.
Oh and I've given up on the nimbus theme itself actually. Care to suggest any good gtk theme?

[solved] Building with JHBuild needs the Python libxml2 package

Hi all, I'm attempting to build GNOME Music with JHBuild. It's failing with an error about needing the Python package for libxml2 while building itstool.
You can find my jhbuildrc here. Here's the log:

I've tried installing python2-lxml - no luck. I've also tried
sudo pip2 install lxml
again with no luck. Is there some environment variable that I need to be setting?
I've searched the BBS, I've Googled, and I've looked at the GNOME Wiki.
jhbuild sanitycheck
returns 0 with no output. I tried
jhbuild bootstrap
too - that said it built one thing (didn't say what), but did nothing to fix my problem.
Any ideas?

[SOLVED]Building in a Clean Chroot error: Build failed, check ~/build

Hello everyone
I am trying to build qt4 and qtwebkit in clean chroot but when I run makechrootpkg (according to DeveloperWiki:Building in a Clean Chroot) I get an error message:
$ sudo makechrootpkg -c -r /home/zuargo/chroot/
==> Creating clean working copy...done
==> ERROR: Build failed, check /home/zuargo/chroot/zuargo/build
As you see chroot directory is contained in my home folder.
I have checked /home/zuargo/chroot/zuargo/build and I see just the PKGBUILD and another random file (it depends on the package to build). No useful information.
I have made twice the chroot directory and in both times I get the same error.
Does somebody have any idea on how to solve this trouble or how to get information related to the error?
Thanks in advance

Thank you
I have new information.
Searching for information on the forum (this one) I have found this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1260353
The user that started the topic, had (or have) a very similar issue. At the first post, he says has fixed the problem by downgrading the package devtools to the version 20120720. So then, I did the same thing.
I had installed devtools 20130408 and in the cache of Pacman, I have the version 20130127, 20130122, 20121115, 20121027, 20121013, 20120720 of this package. I have downgraded to all these versions of devtools, one by one. In some cases, after downgrading and by creating the chroot directory I got errors, either with the package systemd or with the package filesystem. In the first case, the error did not affect the creation fo the chroot directory. In the second case (with filesystem), creating the directory was not successful, getting an error message (see below).
I proceed to list each devtool package (its version) and the error I have got, when I tried to create the chroot directory:
> devtools-20120720-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

As see, the only one package that allows me to build into chroot directory with no errors is devtools-20120720.
Now I can build packages into a clean chroot directory. But I can't update devtools.

[solved] Build of php package with mssql support - checking my process

Since the straight 'php' package doesn't support mssql, I'm in the process of trying to build and install an updated copy that has that switch turned on. The information I've seen out there seems pretty straight forward, but my results are odd, so I'm checking my work here...
I did an abs to pull down the tree (had to use abs -t), created an abs directory under my root home dir, then copied the extra/php branch to /root/abs/php
Edit the PKGBUILD adding the line
--with-mssql \
to the end (line 130) of the list of phpextensions= that is later used in the ./configure line of PKGBUILD. Then from the same directory, run makepkg --asroot -f
then remove the old php with pacman -Rd php
then install the new php with pacman -U ./php-5.3.2-6-i686.pkg.tar.xz
Then modify my php.ini for mssql support
and then get the wierd results:
- php reports it does not have mssql support. phpinfo() shows the ./configure command line and the --with-mssql piece is not there.
- a php -m reports "PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/mssql.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/mssql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
A search for mssql.so comes up empty on the system. I am not sure why it isn't there, but I wanted to make sure I was doing the above steps first before running down the php code specific rabbit hole trying to find mssql.so in case it is under a different name in the source and then compiled out to be mssql.so in the end result.
(note - I have freetds on the system along with it's source files from the package, and no mssql.so in there either)
Thanks,
-Jeff

Did all that, no real errors, only a few warnings, but did figure out what was going on and will put it here in case anyone searches on this and is in the same boat. In search of mssql.so I found this web page http://howtogetitworking.com/2008/02/26 … p-on-unix/ which talks about needing to build the mssql.so file yourself. Specifically, going into src//ext/mssql/ then
# cd /uploaded_path/mssql/
# phpize
# ./configure
# make
# make install
and suddenly I have mssql.so, restart apache and I have mssql support. I wasn't expecting to have to compile a subsection of php after doing a package build with the switches I wanted, but I guess that's what I had to do.
Thanks,

[solved] building the kernel headers for custom kernels

well, ive been building several different kernels for my laptop, so that i can test stuff. but ive got a problem with the kernel headers.
ive mirrored the arch kernel's PKGBUILD and modified some naming to get a custom kernel. but when i try to build a custmo module, it complains the headers are broken. (example, vbox_build_module).
im pasting the pkgbuild here for future reference...if someone sees something thats plain wrong, please say so.
thanks

for anything that might be missing. The error message when compiling would give you more of a clue. Off-hand, you may need to add 'generated', as I recall I needed that when the kernel moved to 2.6.33.
Problem with vbox_build_module after Kernel update.
Would you care to elaborate for us less versed in "Linux Geek" skills?

Instead, I switched to catalyst-hook (I used catalyst) and upgraded to kernel 3.11.4, the latest version of xorg (there was a new one), gnome 3.10 and the module compiled perfectly, so now everything works on my system
You right, but you know... I have a lot projects in queue and not have time to search and test evertying
But, now... catalyst has installed successfully, but, I think isn't working 100%, because, when I click (for example), in a Google Chrome tab, and move to left/right, all tabs disappear or are blurry.
Anyway, thanks.

[SOLVED] Building VCS packages from AUR fails

Hello,
Whenever I try to build a git or svn package from AUR, build fails with the error in a clean chroot enviroment:
==> ERROR: Unknown download protocol: svn
Aborting...
When the build starts, makepkg actually downloads source files properly. Any clues?

Trilby wrote:How many packages has this happened with? Can you give an example of one that produces this error? If the download proceeds when the build starts, it sounds like the PKGBUILD is outdated and is manually grabbing the source in the build function (in pacman<4.0 style).
I was building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uefi-shell-svn: a popular and up-to-date PKGBUILD.
Indeed I didn't merge the conf files of clean chroot. There was a makepkg.conf.pacnew, the lacking part in my old makepkg.conf was:
VCSCLIENTS=('bzr::bzr'
'git::git'
'hg::mercurial'
'svn::subversion')
and some small changes. Everything works fine now. Was my bad. Sorry for incovenience and thanks for your help.

In that blob of text it says 'skipping incompatible' so it found something but I don't know to fix that or find out what it needs. A search on the internet I found that the message (in title) means I'm missing 32-bit library for gd, so I pulled that from AUR and installed it, but its still giving me this message.
Any ideas what I need to do to get this to build?
Thanks in advance.
Last edited by mouseman (2014-05-05 05:24:27)

The linker tries to find libgd. so. If you build lib32-libgphoto2, I guess from the name that you are building a 32 bit package on a 64 bits installation. You should have the 32 bit version of libgd. so and you only have the 64 bit version (hence skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libgd.so). Note that I have not found this version in the multilib repository (nor on AUR), I think you will have to build it yourself.

[SOLVED] Building to both architectures?

Hello,
I was just wondering if it was possible to build to both i386 and x86_64 from a 64-bit machine, and if so, how? I have tried changing my makepkg configs and PKGBUILD files to build to 'any' architecture but that causes alot of problems...
Thanks.

Thanks for the supernaturally fast reply! However, would you be able to dumb it down a bit for me? I'm finding some of these wiki articles tricky to understand...
EDIT: If I just change the PKGBUILD $arch to " 'i386', 'x86_64' " and change the makepkg config to i386 and x86_64 as I need to, would these properly compile the package for each architecture? Or are other steps needed?

Is this some problem with my fonts? Because I get alot of squares instead of asian symbols.
This was happening to me too, but I think it was because of Russian characters.. I've now installed all of the ttf fonts and I hope xfce4-panel stops crashing

[Solved] Building a C++ projects using Boost

I have installed
extra/boost 1.52.0-1
extra/boost-libs 1.52.0-1
with pacman.
I'm trying to build autotools C++ projects (two disctincts project by the same authors are given the same problem) which make use of parts of the Boost library. They have been successfully tested and build under Ubuntu 12.04. with installed libboost-all-dev package. With ArchLinux ./configure works out fine and the compilation process (make) seems to work, too. Nevertheless, there seems to be a problem with the linking:
libtool: link: g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -o ssbmc smtparser.o ...
../contrib/cudd 2.4.2/obj/.libs/libobj.a ...
-lboost_program_options-mt -lboost_iostreams-mt -lgmp -lgmpxx -lm -lz
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_program_options-mt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_iostreams-mt
Any ideas why it fails? The headers seems to be there since the source makes use of Boost library functions and compiling the files does not fail.
Last edited by joachimr (2013-02-23 17:54:24)

The libraries are there:
$ ls /usr/lib/ | grep program
libboost_program_options.a
libboost_program_options.so
libboost_program_options.so.1.52.0
$ ls /usr/lib/ | grep iostreams
libboost_iostreams.a
libboost_iostreams.so
libboost_iostreams.so.1.52.0
Do they have to be renamed?
