Having trouble compiling UQM in Debian
« on: May 14, 2016, 05:56:38 pm »

So, I'm not able to compile UQM on my Debian 8 system. Very strange; I've never experienced this before. This is what I did in a terminal and the output I got:

http://pastebin.com/rGfvcRC8

Searching the errors at the end suggested problems with a makefile. Is there something bad build.sh is doing that wasn't causing a problem before? And does anyone know how to get UQM to compile on Debian 8?

I'm not too familiar with Linux, and for that matter Debian, but the only error I see happens during the linking stage.

Try cleaning and recompiling.

I think it is either
Code:
./build.sh clean
or
Code:
./build.sh uqm clean

Been awhile since I had to deal with a terminal.

This guy had success when installing libctl.

Also, for future issues, Technical Issues is where you would post compiler problems and the like.

I've been doing that every time I've tried again to compile UQM. Every attempt is from a clean source directory.

Oh yeah, I forgot that forum existed.  xD

Try reinstalling the SDL and SDL_image dependencies. Or I should say make sure they are the right versions.

They're from the Debian repo, version 1.2.

I also have SDL 2 and its headers installed (I need it to compile Project: Starfighter and Naev), but I don't think that should cause a problem, should it?

In sc2/build/unix/config_proginfo_host, add -lm to LIB_lua_LDFFLAGS at around line 306

Code:
                LIB_lua_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -llua"
                ;;
        *)
-               LIB_lua_LDFLAGS="-llua"
+               LIB_lua_LDFLAGS="-llua -lm"
                ;;
 esac
 LIB_lua_VERSION=""

Mine doesn't have "LIB_lua_LDFLAGS" defined anywhere (or any other text containing "LIB_lua").

It appears to be a change in the build config script that was made after version 0.7.0 was released.  Clone the current git repository tip:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/sc2/uqm sc2-uqm

Alright, I'll try that. Just one question: is the current Git revision compatible with 0.7.0 for netgames?

OK, this is a little random, but I decided to give these packages a try:

http://plantmonster.net/~oldlaptop/uqm-packages/deb/uf/

And... they didn't work. The problem: these packages depend on "libmikmod2". This is a virtual package in Debian 8; it doesn't exist. Instead there's "libmikmod3". Perhaps having a newer version of libmikmod is also causing this problem when I try to compile UQM from source?

This is a long-standing bug in UQM's build system:

http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=5853.0

You will also find a simple (ugly) patch to work around the issue in my Debian source packages.

(It would appear that my build environment a year ago had the old libmikmod present, and shouldn't have. I've just put corrected jessie binaries on the server. Incidentally, I only saw this because someone other than you happened to mention it on IRC. I'm happy to help you with my packages, and of course I want to fix any issues people find, but you have to ask.)
