Building From Source

[SBCC]

Hello,

Trying to setup build environment. I am following the wiki. My setup is on a VM. I am looking at all the scripts and such to see what is going on but I'm running into problems. I'm sure there is something I'm missing.

When I run

Code:

/install-build-pkgs.sh

I end up with an error

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libxine-dev: Depends: libxine2 (=1.2.0~hg20111226.0300-0yavdr0~lucid) but it is not going to be installed

I'm learning this as I go so bear with me.
Thanks

Also this:

Code:

Something is very wrong.

For the xine problem add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu/ lucid main to your sources.list. Ignore other packages that you can't find for now. And see how far you get without those.

Thanks for the help

I'm finding after apt-get update

Code:

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 272A2CE18103B360

and after apt-get dist-upgrade

Code:

The following packages have been kept back:
  libxine1 libxine1-bin libxine1-console libxine1-misc-plugins libxine1-x

Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list

Ok that cleared that up.

Moving forward now...still lots of errors but we will see.

Thanks!

May I ask why you want to build LinuxMCE from sources?

[SBCC]

Sure...

Working on improving Squeezeslave. It appears, to my limited knowledge, that it is built into the package and loaded when squeeslave device is  added. It looks like the standard app as loaded by apt-get install squeezeslave so I may be wrong. Later versions of squeezeslave have added a select by name for sound output. This I can modify with udev as it is an attrib of the card to be something like attrib + device id. So after reboot you don't need to worry about squeezeslave moving your output device. I am writing a script that will check for squeezeslave version and either build a new one from source or pull in the one from lmce. I'm not sure if the latter is possible yet and I don't want to force an upgrade and brake things.

Am I on the right page here or way off?

Thanks

Update:
I misspoke. The only way to get squeezeslave is to build from source. I discovered that this was the case earlier but just forgot. I suppose I can just add to script to just build from source at add device if no squeezeslave is found. Just takes some time.

[SBCC]

Ok kept moving forward with build.
Ran ./build.sh
Crashed in "build-replacements.sh" with

Code:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b -tc
/usr/local/lmce-build/build-scripts/build-replacements.sh: line 44: dpkg-buildpackage: command not found

/usr/local/lmce-build/common/logging.sh: line 38: mail: command not found

I'm going to comment out that and move forward.

[SBCC]

Ok commented out "build.sh" and came up with error in "build-makerelease.sh" as

Code:

ERROR: Failed to precompile pluto_main to use for MakeRelease

And a whole bunch of

Code:

.....
Computing dependencies for Table_Command.cpp/bin/sh: g++: not found
 done
Computing dependencies for Table_CommMethod.cpp/bin/sh: g++: not found
 done
Computing dependencies for Table_City.cpp/bin/sh: g++: not found
 done
.....

So I don't think its working. I may try and go further but it looks like something is not right.
I'm doing this on a VM not chrooted but on a fresh install of kubuntu 10.04-4 desktop i386.
I'm going to pull down another copy of kubuntu and see if that helps. Same version.

[posde]

sounds like you are also missing build-essential

[tschak909]

The quickest way to get all the build dependencies, for me, has always been:

going into src:

apt-get install `cat Ubuntu_Helpers_NoHardcode/conf-files/lucid-i386/build-packages`

you will need to remove 1 or two packages from that file, but it will get you all the build dependencies needed.

Ok thanks for the help.

I noticed "install-build-pkgs.sh" ran into all kinds of trouble. I will try loading them each and see what happens.

SBCC building a full builder is rarely rarely necessary.

You can build whatever you need, and then submit it once working. Grabbing source, and building packages is all you really need. It is easier to develop, I find, just building the normal way.

For me, it seems there is a reason the docs are not readily avail for a 1004 builder. If you can figure out how it works... you might be able to do something which requires it.

That is a longer term project. Make it build, submit it... that is all you need to worry about now.

[SBCC]

I think I got it but I moved on with your advice. I can revisit adding to the package the new squeezeslave source later. I just hate pushing something I have not yet built and tested 1st.

Thanks for that
