compile fail on debian for v13

[surfin_eddie]

since days I try to compile the latest (I hope) v13 but without success.

The second time the compilation stops at this stage.
I followed the instructions of the "Debian Squeeze" section of the doc
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ ... eOnUnix/de

cmake I've called with

Code: Select all

cmake . -DEIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/FreeCADLibs_7.10_x86_VC9/include/eigen3 -DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/boost

There is an message:

sh: bzr: Kommando nicht gefunden.

but I' don't know what that means. I've used git for getting the sources.

boost: boost_1_52_0/ from source, debian_version: 6.0.6; arch: intel 32bit;
- bzr added

I'm asking for some help to solve it. Thanks in advance,

Hi Ralf

I just followed your link to the German wiki page, it seems it has not been updated in a while. You seem to have reasonable English skills, if so, perhaps initially you should have a look here

https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=CompileOnUnix

It is the same as your link but is to the English page, which has been updated.

My first question is have you installed all of the parts of libboost required? I have installed it via my package manager, on Kubuntu 12.04.1, boost version 1.48.02.
If so, what about the dev packages?

Also I noticed that your said you downloaded the libboost source code. I wonder if it compiled properly, and is installed and if it is installed in a standard location where the system knows where to find it? Is libboost not in your package manager on Debian? If so wouldn't it be better to install the packages and their DEV packages from the package manager?

Is your system really 32bit? Are you sure it is not 64bit? Your hardware would be very likely 64bit but it is perfectly possible that you are running a 32bit operating system on 64bit hardware, but I thought now days most people would just be running a 64bit operating system.

I hope some of this might help.

I would not even trust that Debian Squeeze script from the English wiki.

For one thing it installs libeigen2-dev. Look at the Debian and Ubuntu dependencies list in section 2.1, it is much more up-to-date. It's libeigen3-dev that you need. Since eigen3 is not in Squeeze repositories you will have to compile it I guess.

Don't worry about this. At compilation time if the file Version.h is missing we run a Python script that tries to extract a revision number from the sources. Thus, we expect them to be handled by a version control system (VCS). The first one we try is git (because we use it on SF), the second one is Bazaar (because we use it on Launchpad) and the third one is SVN (because we used before git on SF).
Since you get a message of all three VCS failing I assume your sources lack of the Version.h and you don't have the meta-information of VCS any more. The reason in your case is that you use a Windows share mounted to your Debian box and git doesn't like this when GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM is not set. But nevertheless, this doesn't stop your build, the worst thing that can happen is that the version information shown in the About dialog cannot be determined.

It seems that your boost version is broken. The libboost_program_options library seems to be there and match the correct platform (because otherwise you would get a different error message) but there is the symbol for the class options_description missing inside the library. And that might be a problem the way how you build the boost lib. Or it's also possible that you got a version mismatch of two different boost versions.

I think this way I've used the debian boost librarys but it doesn't work. Also the try

the cmake-preparation with -DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIR=/mnt/hda6/FreeCADLibs_7.10_x86_VC9 doesn't change the result. This librarys I've shure "not touched". Should this not alternatively work instead of my possible broken debian-boost lib?

Did you ignore my post on purpose?

Like Norm said, check your dependencies against the Ubuntu list as it is the most likely to be up to date.

FreeCADLibs_7.10_x86_VC9

the FreeCAD libs pack is for Windows, you don't use it on Linux.

make sure you have "Eigen3" and dev packages installed, if it is not available for your OS then you will have to compile it. It seems to me to be strange if you couldn't find pre-compiled packages, but Norm could very well be correct, he is certainly more likely to know than I am, I really don't know.

I have to got out right now...back in a few hours

I just remembered that Eigen3 was not supplied in the Ubuntu 10.04 repositories, on our PPA wmayer copied the packages from another PPA so that the daily packages would build for Lucid.

And I searched for libeigen3-dev on packages.debian.org. Debian Squeeze is the current stable version, and Eigen3 is nowhere to be found. http://packages.debian.org/search?keywo ... ection=all

The libeigen3-dev package is in Debian Testing, and it has no dependencies. Maybe he could simply copy the package and install it.

Yep, the eigen3 library is a 100% pure template library and thus doesn't need to be built and thus has no dependencies. So, this means that you can simply install the package from Debian sid for example.

the cmake-preparation with -DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIR=/mnt/hda6/FreeCADLibs_7.10_x86_VC9 doesn't change the result. This librarys I've shure "not touched". Should this not alternatively work instead of my possible broken debian-boost lib?

This is a pretty bad idea because the boost version of the Windows LibPack may not match with the version installed on your system. And such things very like leads to linker errors.

Anyway, the problem with the linker error is either because your boost package has a bug (over the last few years we had such problems a couple of times) or you have a version mismatch. The version mismatch may also come from that you tried to build with the header files from the Windows LibPack. You should run a make clean or create a new sub-directory to build the sources.

Then to see which boost libs are used at linking time go to the build directory and from there check the file: src/App/CMakeFiles/FreeCADApp.dir/build.make. Maybe you can post the file here.

As said above we had already some linker errors with boost a few times. And there the trick was to add the source code of the missing symbols into FreeCAD. See src/App/Application.cpp line 1351ff. So, as last solution you can try to add this code snippet there (no guarantee that it works):

Code: Select all

namespace boost { namespace program_options {
    options_description::options_description(const string& caption,
                                             unsigned line_length)
    : m_caption(caption), m_line_length(line_length)
    {}
}
}
