Missing supporting packages on jessy

[sirop]

trafficstars

I followed this advice:

The easiest way to fetch all the machinekit runtime packages is to install a current package, and then delete it

but ./configure told me that some packages are still missing beginning with Protobuf compiler.

So I had to install missing packages one by one until ./configure did not complain any more.
Those were:

  sudo apt-get install -y  libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler python-protobuf libprotoc-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libtool liburiparser-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libssl-dev  openssl
  sudo apt-get install -y  uuid-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libavahi-client-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libmodbus-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libusb-1.0-0-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libreadline-gplv2-dev 
  sudo apt-get install -y  libglib2.0-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libgtk2.0-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libxaw7-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libboost-python-dev
  sudo apt-get install -y  libglu1-mesa-dev

The order of installtion may be important.

I did then

sudo apt-get remove --purge machinekit

after make run.

libreadline-gplv2-dev got me into dependency hell. It should have been libreadline6-dev from the very beginning.

this advice is about runtime packages, not required-for-build packages

If you follow this: https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit-docs/blob/master/machinekit-documentation/developing/machinekit-developing.asciidoc

and do the sudo mk-build-deps -ir step, it'd all be covered. Why the hoops?

[sirop]

@mhaberler I followed https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit-docs/blob/master/machinekit-documentation/developing/machinekit-developing.asciidoc with the only difference that I built only for posix and xenomai.

So I did:

debian/configure -px
sudo mk-build-deps -ir

Is it the absent r for rt-preemt in debian/configure -px that makes me miss some packages?

[mhaberler]

please describe exactly what base system you have and all the steps you took, including error messages - "makes me miss some packages" is not an error report somebody can act upon

[sirop]

I began with a fresh Debian install based on debian-8.3.0-amd64-CD-1.iso. No desktop - gnome or similar - was installed. Openssh server was installed.

Then:

sudo apt-get install linux-image-xenomai.x86-amd64
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-xenomai.x86-amd64
sudo reboot

From now on under 3.8-1-xenomai.x86-amd64 jessy:

sudo sh -c \
"echo 'Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -10' > \
/etc/apt/preferences.d/sid;"

Edited /etc/apt/sources.list .

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -t sid libczmq-dev
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 43DDF224
sudo sh -c \
  "echo 'deb http://deb.machinekit.io/debian jessie main' > \
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/machinekit.list"
sudo apt-get update

As I thought that I'd need to fetch all the machinekit runtime packages , I did at this point:

sudo apt-get install machinekit

Then:

sudo apt-get install git dpkg-dev
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends devscripts equivs
git clone https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit.git
cd machinekit

debian/configure -px
sudo mk-build-deps -ir
cd src
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-rt-preempt  --with-posix  --with-xenomai

Now ./configure complained about missing packages which I had to install one by one as above said in https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit-docs/issues/71#issue-152714271 .

[mhaberler]

can you reproduce this including a log?

there's definitely something wrong

example: liburiparser-dev - stock from debian stream, and a build dep here: https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/debian/control.in#L15

sudo mk-build-deps -irMUST catch this one

[sirop]

I have to setup a fresh jessy installation for that. Will do it tomorrow morning.

[machinekoder]

@sirop I can recommend using Vagrant for testing such things. (see https://github.com/strahlex/machinekit-vagrant)

[sirop]

@strahlex I do not know if you are the right person to complain about it, but xenomai on jessie 8.4.0 cannot be started with Vagrant/VirtualBox. There is a kernel panic at the beginning of the start. My /etc/default/grub is

GRUB_DEFAULT="1>2"
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Debian
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet xeno_nucleus.xenomai_gid=120"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Anyway I'll do the same tomorrow on a "real" machine.

[sirop]

@mhaberler Ok, I just set up debian-8.3.0-amd64-CD-1.iso on a "real" machine. I began with these packages installed as dpkg-query -l shows them: https://gist.github.com/sirop/7984794ba4946e3c14d81be94bbc0f8b

Then I did:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 43DDF224
sudo sh -c \
  "echo 'deb http://deb.machinekit.io/debian jessie main' > \
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/machinekit.list"
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install linux-image-xenomai.x86-amd64 linux-headers-xenomai.x86-amd64

Recorded the terminal session with script: https://gist.github.com/sirop/f31a7e818d71445c7a4e540873d8f3b0

The only difference is my debian/configure -px instead of debian/configure -prx. As you see, ./configure yields:

checking for CZMQ... yes
checking for PROTOBUF... no
configure: error: Package requirements (protobuf > 2.4.0) were not met:

No package 'protobuf' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PROTOBUF_CFLAGS
and PROTOBUF_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

dpkg-query -l | grep protobuf does not find anything.

[ArcEye]

The protobuf packages I have installed on jessie rt-preempt amd64 are:

libprotobuf-c-dev_1.0.2-1_amd64.deb
libprotobuf-c1_1.0.2-1_amd64.deb
libprotobuf-dev_2.6.1-1_amd64.deb
libprotobuf-lite9_2.6.1-1_amd64.deb
libprotobuf9_2.6.1-1_amd64.deb
libprotoc-dev_2.6.1-1_amd64.deb
libprotoc9_2.6.1-1_amd64.deb
protobuf-c-compiler_1.0.2-1_amd64.deb
protobuf-compiler_2.6.1-1_amd64.deb
python-protobuf_2.6.1-1_amd64.deb

I never use debian/XXXX unless I am building a deb and don't expect it to supply a full set of packages for building, just to run packages.

The basic set of files you need are in debian/control.in

Will probably find that libprotobuf-dev, libprotoc-dev, protobuf-compiler and python-protobuf will pull all the rest with them.

[sirop]

@ArcEye I followed now your advice and built without sudo mk-build-deps -ir , but had to install these packages before:

 sudo apt-get install -y  libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler python-protobuf libprotoc-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  libtool liburiparser-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  libssl-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  libavahi-client-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  libglib2.0-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  libudev-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  libgtk2.0-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  libxaw7-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  libreadline-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  tcl8.6 tk8.6
 sudo apt-get install -y  python-tk
 sudo apt-get install -y  libboost-python-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y  libglu1-mesa-dev

Well, then I'll do it this way in future.

[ArcEye]

libreadline-gplv2-dev got me into dependency hell. It should have been libreadline6-dev from the very beginning.

I think this is largely a debian package problem.

They have both https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libreadline-gplv2-dev and https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libreadline6-dev in the same repo The meta-package libreadline-dev requires libreadline6-dev and conflicts with libreadline-gplv2-dev so it is possible to get in a right state, depending upon what was installed first.

I think the libreadline-gplv2-dev requirement carried over from Wheezy, but could now just be replaced with the libreadline-dev meta-package to ensure the correct versions get pulled.

I was going to edit my original list of Jessie building and development packages in the docs, but that whole list appears to have been removed anyway.

@ArcEye

I was going to edit my original list of Jessie building and development packages in the docs, but that whole list appears to have been removed anyway.

Do you mean this list: https://github.com/luminize/machinekit-docs/blob/master/machinekit-documentation/developing/machinekit-developing.asciidoc

[ArcEye]

Do you mean this list: https://github.com/luminize/machinekit-docs/blob/master/machinekit-documentation/developing/machinekit-developing.asciidoc

I did, but it is only in @luminize 's repo. It is not in the main one, not even in my fork, because I updated it recently https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit-docs/blob/master/machinekit-documentation/developing/machinekit-developing.asciidoc

[sirop]

I looked into it again and used

vagrant@debian-jessie:~/machinekit$ sudo apt-get build-dep machinekit
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libncurses5-dev' instead of 'libncurses-dev'
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libboost-thread-dev : Depends: libboost-thread1.55-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Build-dependencies for machinekit could not be satisfied.

adding deb-src http://deb.machinekit.io/debian jessie main to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/machinekit.list before.

As you see there is a dependency problem: libboost-thread1.55-dev depends on libstdc++, which is already installed as a sid and a jessie version:

vagrant@debian-jessie:~/machinekit$  apt-show-versions | grep libstdc++
libstdc++-4.9-dev:amd64/jessie 4.9.2-10 uptodate
libstdc++6:amd64/sid 6.1.1-3 uptodate

Postponing the installation of libczmq-dev/sid right until ./configure helps for a while, but then make yields an error compiling protobuf.

So if the manual installation of supporting packages as in https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit-docs/issues/71#issuecomment-217413049 is not elegant enough, what is to do? Build `libczmq-dev´ for jessie?

[sirop]

Anyway, just built libczmq-dev (3.0.2-7) on jessie with ./src/czmq_selftest passing all tests.

[sirop]

Built machinekit with libczmq-dev (3.0.2-7) on jessie/amd64 .

Had to

 sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libwebsockets-dev

in between, but the good news is that sudo mk-build-deps -ir now really pulls in all Build-Depends packages.

So what is next to do? Ask the maintainers of https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/libczmq-dev to include libczmq-dev also into jessie?

[sirop]

Luca Boccassi (one of the Debian libczmq maintainers) promised to include libczmq-dev (3.0.2-7) into jessie-backports.

Until then the following should be a workaround to avoid overlapping libstdc++ dependency between jessie and sid:

wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/czmq/czmq_3.0.2.orig.tar.gz
tar xfvz czmq_3.0.2.orig.tar.gz
cd czmq-3.0.2
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install

You may need

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libtool pkg-config autotools-dev \ 
autoconf automake cmake uuid-dev libpcre3-dev

as well as

sudo apt-get install -y libzmq3 libzmq3-dev

if not already installed.
