directfb error when compling cdk

[dunryc]

im trying to install the cdk on a slackware 10.1 system

everything goes ok untill i get to the make all command where it runs for a couple of hours then falls at compiling
DIRECTFB iver encountered this error before on my mandrake system and couldnt get past it then thinking it was a distro fault i decided to try with slackware but unfortunaly the same error has occoured.

heres a paste of the check.log i think everything is ok with my versions

any help or adive anyone can give me would be much appreciated

Sorry, no idea about Slackware.

But from the error message pkg-config (or maybe just its devel-package) seems not to be installed properly.

Alternatively, since no public software for the dbox2 needs directfb you could skip it by touching:

.deps/libdirectfb
.deps/libdirectfbpp
.deps/libppdirectfb

in the central cdk-directory

But other packages might use the PKG_CONFIG-macro as well, so you might still need that one.

[dunryc]

thanks for the reply i had thought about using the touch command but thought it better to do a full compile if possible. Sorry to sound dumb but can i just download the source for pkg-config and compile on my system or the devel version ? as im compiling im thinking its the devel version ill need but im not 100 percent sure. I can see pkg-config souce at

http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/releases/

should i just download the newist version and see what happens erhaps you could tell me if all the rest of the programs listed at the top of the post are the correct versions

many thanks dunryc

I'd rather not recommend to get the original sources and try to build it yourself because usually the vendors have their own way of packaging things and setting them up.

Out of curiosity I just checked, installing the Slackware pkg-config-package should be enough, it will install the necessary pkg.m4 into your /usr/share/aclocal-directory so aclocal should pick it up with no trouble.

Maybe you shoud reinstall it.

[dunryc]

unfoturnalty i dont think slack has a packag manager so ive just built it fro source compile seemed to go ok as did make install so im not sure just having a go at the mo at make all for the cdk.

just for here the outpul of ls in /usr/share/aclocal

I've exactly the same problem on a Mandrake 10.1 on which I installed all required components.....
If I skip this step (touch.... ), the compile fails a little bit later.

I've tried to re-init the CVS initial setting (to be sure my downloaded version wasn't unstable....), but I obtain the same result after 3:27 hours of work....

The documentation says : This step should always complete without errors. If it does not, then please report at https://tuxborg.org/forum

What can I do ?

[mws]

try automake 1.7

directfb is having some problems with versions greater than that

[doume59249]

Thanks, mws !

I've downloaded & installed automake version 1.7.2

When I invoke automake --version, I obtain now :
automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6

I hope that'll be better, because i've just restarted a new
update & make all (last time : 3 hours & half ! )

Thanks for your help : I'll notify about result !

Hi,

I am also just trying this but my make flash-all has stopped in the middle

with archive/libxml2-2.4.30.tar.gz as it could not resolve the host.

Is there a chance to start from this point or do I have to try it all again ?

when I try make neutrion it stops with aclocal.m4 dependency check error..


Any hint's ?

[PT-1]

When I try

make flash-squashfsimages

it starts with this:

make: Circular aclocal.m4 <- aclocal.m4 dependency dropped.
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ptone/tuxbox-cvs/cdk'
make[1]: Circular aclocal.m4 <- aclocal.m4 dependency dropped.


at the end I get that:

Linux 2.0.10 or later to be installed before configuring.
The kernel header files are found usually in /usr/include/asm and

make sure that file was built correctly when installing the kernel header

configure option --with-headers.

Any hints ?

[doume59249]

Finally, I've installed Fedora Core 3 as Linux workstation, and redo everything on it ( One guy having recommanded it for this kind of operations, no addon to upgrade or install...) : cdk core is ok, some plugins too....

My problem, now :
All has been compiled fine, EXCEPT enigma package
Yesterday, that was due to syntax errors inside some header files
Today, I've reloaded enigma, and error occurs at another place

It seems you must be very lucky, to 'pick' packages at a moment they're stable. That can become a very long story......

In my case, all has been compiled separatly, but only enigma isn't compilable at this moment.....

Must I retry till I obtain good configuration ?

[Npq]

Hmm, this thread now contains several issues, could you please sort this out and post one problem in one thread? Otherwise it's hard to give an appropriate advice.

If you have problems with a build it's necessary to give the complete error message.
