[mdb-dev] OS X compiling...

[michael g. <lis...@ge...>]

Hi Folks,

I've been trying to get mdbtools to compile on OS X. I don't have GTK 
installed, but all I really want are the command-line tools. Is there a 
way to configure/make in such a way that I don't need GTK?

Also, I can't access the CVS source. Neil T. posted recently that the 
CVS version compiles on OS X, but I can't check it out. When I try:

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/mdbtools 
login

I get a timeout error.

help...? Thanks!

Thats a sourceforge issue.

(  2005-02-09 08:58:54 - Project CVS Service )   As of 2005-02-09
there is an outage of anonymous CVS (tarballs, pserver-based CVS and
ViewCVS) for projects whose UNIX names start with the letters m, n, p,
q, t, y and z. We are currently working on resolving this issue.
(https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?group_id=1&docid=2352#1107968334)

It should be back online ASAP, keep your eyes on that page and it'll
tell you when.

I do this, but not on a Mac

You'll need the glib development stuff, but shouldn't need the gtk 
stuff.
Configure should just whinge a bit because gtk's not there, but it 
should compile everything else.

Where exactly do things go wrong?

well, i have problems getting glib 2.6.0 to make. These are my last few 
lines:

ld: multiple definitions of symbol _libintl_textdomain
.libs/libglib-2.0.lax/libcharset.a/textdomain.o definition of 
_libintl_textdomain in section (__TEXT,__text)
.libs/libglib-2.0.lax/libintl.a/textdomain.o definition of 
_libintl_textdomain in section (__TEXT,__text)
/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib(localcharset.o) definition of _locale_charset
make[4]: *** [libglib-2.0.la] Error 1
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

However, as this isn't a glib list, I don't presume to get support on 
this here (though of course I wouldn't reject it!). I'll try to get 
glib installed, and try again with mdbtools.

glib and glib2 both install fine using fink.

fink chokes on glib2 on my machine. It says it needs to install 17 
dependencies first, and then dies on the gmp package, long before it 
gets to glib2... :c(

I don't believe that gmp is _really_ needed for glib2. Any ideas on how 
I can override fink's dependency mechanism?

thanks,

michael geary

I'm guessing fink downloads packages to /sw/var/cache/apt/archives or 
something like that.

You could 
dpkg -i --force-depends  /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/*glib*deb
but it's probably not a great long term solution because apt will be 
convinced it's broken.

I guess it's probably better to just go with what fink, er, finks 
(sorry) and install the dependencies.  What's the gmp error?
It might be easier to fix that.

Are you using stable or unstable?

Re: [mdb-dev] OS X compiling...

[michael g. <lis...@ge...>]

Hi Neil,

I'm using the default config, which i assume is stable. I have just 
added the unstable info to my /sw/etc/fink.conf

are your mdbtools files statically linked? Do you have either 
executables or OS-X friendly steps to get a CLI-only version of 
mdbtools running on this platform?

Thanks very much. BTW, I tried today to work with the CVS version, but 
I get errors in the configure process. Anyone else on OS X confirm 
this?

thanks very much,

michael geary

Hi all,

well, it appears that after a fink update and a retry at "fink install 
glib2" yielded some success.

However, I'm still having problems. "configure" seems to have gone 
okay. It did squawk about libglade:
"checking for libglade-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0... Package libglade-2.0 was 
not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libglade-2.0.pc'"

but it still made the Makefiles. So, I typed "make", and things seemed 
to go okay. Until, that is, I got this:

----------------

can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Again, all I want are the CLI 
tools that allow me to extract mdb files...

Don't worry, as this is only needed for the GUI.

Apparently it is taking this line (155) from mdbtools.h as a definition
rather than a declaration:
  extern GHashTable      *mdb_backends;

I don't know enough about the compiler or linker in your environment to
understand *why* this might.  Even eliminating the need for mdb_backends
in mdbtools.h wouldn't solve your problem.

Sorry, but that's all the info I have to provide.
