Slade won't build on RPM Linux Distributions

[Zombie-Ryushu]

Slade won't build on RPM Linux Distributions. Problems range from being unable to locate wxWidgets, to having multiple linking issues.

[axredneck]

multiple linking issues

On Arch too

[SteelT1]

Are you building from master branch?

[axredneck]

Yes, i did (slade-git package from AUR) before bug #1039 appeared and made things even worse.

[axredneck]

p.s. "Stable" branch builds and links ok for me.

[kekePower]

I am unable to build neither 3.1.4 or git master.

Here is an example when trying to build on Mageia Cauldron x86_64 using gcc 8.3.1. http://kekepower.com/slade.log.html

Here is when trying to build with Clang 8.0. http://kekepower.com/slade/build.0.20190419083701.log

This helped a little with Stable 3.1.4: sed -i 's|external \${ZLIB_LIBRARY}|external \${ZLIB_LIBRARY} \${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES} \${CURL_LIBRARIES}|' src/External/CMakeLists.txt

And this is the same, but for git master: sed -i 's|external \${ZLIB_LIBRARY}|external \${ZLIB_LIBRARY} \${wxWidgets_LIBRARIES} \${CURL_LIBRARIES}|' thirdparty/CMakeLists.txt

[kekePower]

Seems like ${SLADE_HEADERS} doesn't get exported or something in https://github.com/sirjuddington/SLADE/blob/050f761b641295ebe9365e38d54a6ac972b1f268/thirdparty/CMakeLists.txt#L31

Still failed, but my build got a little further with this change:

diff --git a/src/CMakeLists.txt b/src/CMakeLists.txt

 if (WX_GTK3)

[axredneck]

Compiles and links for me now. Arch Linux. @Zombie-Ryushu does it compile for you?

[Zombie-Ryushu]

I have not tried yet.

[kekePower]

Git master from April 26. Same issues with under-linking.

[sirjuddington]

Is this issue fixed now? I have been able to build it fine on linux for a while

[Zombie-Ryushu]

No it isn't.

[sirjuddington]

What branch are you building and what errors are you getting?

[Zombie-Ryushu]

I personally have not built the package recently. I am working with kekePower which is a distribution maintainer for Mageia Linux (he has the ability to commit directly to the distro and I do not.)

Since he has not told me what if anything has changed, I can only assume that it is the same build errors as listed above.

The Target Distribution is Mageia Linux 6.

[kekePower]

First a correction. The Target Distribution is Mageia Linux 7. This is what I get from the latest git master cloned 5 minutes ago.

I can't even run cmake on Gentoo.

Some troubles. ALT Linux, Platform 9. x86-64. Git master branch.

[Zombie-Ryushu]

Rosa succeeded.

I've been able to build 3.1.8 on Mageia Cauldron today.

Here are the options I use

%cmake \
  -DUSE_WEBKIT_STARTPAGE:BOOL=ON \
  -DUSE_WX_EXCEPTION_HANDLER=0 \
  -DWX_GTK3=ON \
  -DNO_WEBVIEW=ON \
  -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=%{_bindir}/wx-config-%{wx_ver}

The last line is crucial and every build has failed without it. I've successfully built it against wxWidgets 3.0.x and 3.1.x.

in addition to these patches, some from ROSA and some I made. Patch 1. https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/slade/current/SOURCES/basepk3.diff?revision=1464037&view=co&pathrev=1464040 Patch 2. https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/slade/current/SOURCES/slade-cmakelists.patch?revision=1464037&view=co&pathrev=1464040 Patch 3. https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/slade/current/SOURCES/set-external-static.patch?revision=1464037&view=co&pathrev=1464040

im having this same issue rn on Ubuntu 19.04. not sure what file im supposed to edit like the above person...

[kekePower]

@kay-luhb

The one thing that made the whole difference was this option.

$ cmake -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wx-config-3.0

[Zombie-Ryushu]

Rosa has a patch on this.

[kay-luhb]

i still cant build this. it does this:

  same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
  become a fatal error in future CMake releases.

@kekePower Thanks for the help. Your suggestion does make progress on the cmake, but now I get the following error on invoking make:
