Build Failures

[Dimitris Menounos]

Hi, I am facing problems building projectM. I use Ubuntu 13.10. I have installed the following librearies:

libqt4-dev
libgl1-mesa-glx
libgl1-mesa-dri
libgl1-mesa-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev
liborc-dev
libpulse-dev
libftgl-dev
libsdl1.2-dev
libglew1.5-dev
libvisual-0.4-dev

From the "projectM-complete-2.1.0-Source/build" directory I run:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/dmen/Programs/projectm ..
make

I get the following error:

Scanning dependencies of target projectM-test

make[2]: *** [src/projectM-test/projectM-test] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src/projectM-test/CMakeFiles/projectM-test.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I tried to circumvent this by changing: OPTION(INCLUDE-PROJECTM-TEST "Build the projectM test suite" ON) to OFF. Now the compilation went through to 100% but failed at make install:

I see that it tries to write stuff to "/usr/lib/" which I specifically tried to avoid (I set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX parameter). Ofcource the installation does not work. Any help?

I set OPTION(INCLUDE-PROJECTM-LIBVISUAL "Build the projectM libvisual client" OFF) and run "make" and "make install" without a CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. No compile errors, here are the installed binaries:

ls -la /usr/local/bin/
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 179913 Δεκ  25 16:38 projectM-pulseaudio

ls -la /usr/local/lib/

However it does not run:

~$ projectM-pulseaudio 
projectM-pulseaudio: error while loading shared libraries: libprojectM-qt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Dimitris Menounos]

One step closer:

~$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Still fail:

~$ projectM-pulseaudio 
dir:/usr/local/share/projectM/config.inp 
reading ~/.projectM/config.inp 
[projectM] config file: /home/dmen/.projectM/config.inp
No Textures Loaded from "/usr/local"/share/projectM/textures
Could not open font file: "/usr/local/share/projectM/fonts/Vera.ttf"

Man I wish that installing stuff in linux would be easier!

You need to either put the fonts where they are expected, or you can modify the font options in ~/.projectM/config.inp to point to the correct paths.

Thanks again amoe! You're very helpful!!!

So, I just noticed the evidence of one of the errors in this code... In the penultimate line of quoted code of Dimitris' last post, which reads:
No Textures Loaded from "/usr/local"/share/projectM/textures

Notice the quotation mark is out of place. This (among other errors) has to be fixed before compiling the code because that incorrect path (if I'm not mistaken) is integrated into the code and creates a problem which can't be properly circumvented because even though you can modify the location of the textures, it only modifies the part that's inside the quotation-and the remaining bit doesn't combine properly and basically breaks loading textures no matter what you do.

Of course, the REAL problem with this project is that it doesn't support pixel shaders v2... And this support is essential for all of the really good Milkdrop v2 presets that we all love. Furthermore, I've been told that it is impossible to support these shaders on Mac! I keep hoping that information is incorrect, but the evidence is piling up on the wrong side...

@amoe: you seem knowledgeable as well as helpful, and you've posted on here with in the last 2 years... Can you shed any light on the topic of v2 pixel shader support in projectM (said to be provided by the CG nvidia libraries)?
