[classlib][build]Lacks liblcms.a libpng.a and etc on Linux and recommend to add them to fetch-depends target
Hi, all
Current harmony build script on linux requires liblcms.a libpng.a and
several .h files such as png.h but not installed on my redhat linux
platform. Although as the script prompts out, ubuntu can download such files
seperately, while other platform such as my redhat or suse, rpm might be the
only source to get new softwares from internet which leads to a lot of
troubles. For examples, the dependency between those rpms and the default
installation destinations of these rpms are not the places Harmony script
expects.
So, I think, it will be good if the build script can download these
required files automatically when they are absent.

I didn't think it is a big deal to discuss where to get lcms devel for redhat.
It's a matter of package manager specific to the distribution official
repository.

icc34.h is included into liblcms sources. It's possible to download
the sources using this link: [1].

Use instructions from [2] to build the dependencies.

I don't think so. JPEG decoder doesn't use native wrappers and links

I think the build for classlib was changed to use lib*.so libraries
instead of static ones. Do you use up to date revision?
Do you have all necessary devel packages installed? I think classlib
docs should list the packages that are necessary to build it.

Hello Gregory,
I am trying to build DRLVM+classlibs on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4
update 4, and am having the similar problems to Leo. I cannot find
any official package which provides icc34.h (I've tried searching
with up2date).
An even more annoying problem exists on Fedora Core 5 because the
libjpeg-devel package does not contain "/usr/lib/libjpeg.a"
Does you previous offer to help still stand? Any help would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
Naveen

Why won't you do that publicly, i.e. on the website ? or is the offer

Yes I agree that there should be some necessary library requirements for
building all of the harmony components, and these requirements should be
described in some place. This was agreed in another branch of this thread.
As to rpm packages, send me a email directly, please write which version of
redhat you have installed. I am sure I can help you with installing the
necessary packages.

But I cannot find the rpm for liblcms.a and icc34.h in the CD. There is no
liblcms*.rpm or lcms*.rpm. And what do you mean official mirror, the redhat
site?
Although I admit rpmfind is not a good way, but it really works after I
installed all the necessary packages and put the required files to the
appropriate position.
At least Harmony should gives some hints, for example, which rpm is required
and where to get them. Since not every body is an expert of rpm, and aware
of the relationship between the required files and rpms, as well as their
versions, as you said, "the rpm hell".

Show me a single Linux distribution which doesn't provide development files
for any library (except for 3rd party binaries) it includes. Providing them
from harmony is really not necessary. It is a matter of system configuration
by an individual developer and if it is too hard to find necessary packages
in redhat there are more developer oriented (although redhat includes all
necessary packages, I assure you) distributions (no Gentoo advertising from
me here).
FOR LEO
^^^^^^^
Using rpmfind or rpmsearch (call it rpm hell like dll hell in windows) is
really a wrong way, there sites often includes unofficial packages, it
requires you to carefully chose your distribution version, etc.
The version which you've installed should have registered package sources (be
it CD or http/ftp) from the official mirror. Search in it for libpng1-devel
(or whatever form redhat has for this package) to install it. Also uninstall
all the zoo you've found on the net before you do it, otherwise you'll get
installation conflicts for sure.

Yes, agreed - we should use the system libraries where possible as a
first choice, and
supply instructions for getting the required packages for those who
havnt already got
them. For OSes that do not distribute these libraries, we should provide
precompiled
binaries where possible, or at least some instructions on where to go
get them.

I would like to be more helpful if we can. Yesterday, I added the
details of the required packages for Fedora Core 5. Hopefully others
will help get the instructions up dated for distributions they use.
Otherwise, I will try to add instructions for recent SLES and RHEL in
the next week or so.

I'll get my better half to start making more room in the fridge while I
go through the list of distros at:
http://lwn.net/Distributions/
I reckon I should get at least a six-pack just out of the embedded
section alone. ;-)

In time I expect we'll do the same for others like MacOS X, Aix, etc.

This sounds very much like a configure script.
Check for installed libraries, fail if something is missing. I like it :)
On Linux however all libraries are present in distributions (I buy you a beer
if you name a single Linux distribution which doesn't include necessary
development packages, knoppix not counted). Only Windows distribution doesn't
include them, so for convenience windows binaries may be cached for download
on harmony site.

I see that you already said pretty much the same thing I did on another
thread [1].
IMHO we should make sure that if the fetch-depends target finds it
cannot sym
link to preinstalled system libraries, then the user is clearly informed
so they have
the choice to install them without having the archived file versions
unpacked. So
perhaps the fetch-depends step should still fail with a message saying
something like
"Could not resolve these dependencies, either build/install these

or you can run this other target to have the archived versions unpacked

through...

Can we provide archives of these dependencies in our svn (or wherever) as
a fallback if fetch-depends cannot find them installed on the local system?
Dont we do something like that on Windows at the moment?

Posted by Leo Li <li...@gmail.com>.
Hi, Alexey:
No I do not installed the developer versions of these rpms, but I have
made it work...mm after struggling.... The same rpm has different
configurations due to different providers. For examples, those from rpmfind
and those redhat iteself provides.
So I recommend Harmony to provide such required files if possbile.

Have you also installed developer versions of these rpms?

Re: [classlib][build]Lacks liblcms.a libpng.a and etc on Linux and recommend to add them to fetch-depends target
Posted by Leo Li <li...@gmail.com>.
Hi, Mark:
First I downloaded and installed the rpms for openpkg, png, jpeg, tiff,
lcms because of the dependency relationship between them.
Secondly, the installed files are in /openpkg, so I then copy the .a
and .h files to /usr/lib and /usr/include.
If I can find the .a or .h file, I can add them to the /usr/lib and
/usr/include directories. But how can I find them if I do not use rpm?
Redhat itself does not provide the function to download required file from
a software center as unbuntu does.
I will try yum, thank you for your advice.

Can you not just use yum or whatever tools Red Hat provides? Can you
document what you had to do?

Mark.
