Current git version fails to build on FreeBSD #397

willbprog127 · 2019-11-12T02:51:38Z

Greetings! 😁

I am attempting to build icewm (commit 5968d9f) on FreeBSD 12.1 (it uses clang by default).

I performed ./autogen.sh without issues. My configure command is:

./configure --disable-nls --disable-sm --disable-shape --disable-fribidi

The end of the configure output is:

Applications: icewm icewm-session icesh icewmhint icewmbg icehelp icesound icewm-menu-fdo
Image library: gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0 librsvg-2.0 libxpm

       DOCDIR: /usr/local/share/doc/icewm

The specific error line is:

            doActivate = false;

I've also tried building the Release 1.4.2 code and it also fails with other errors.

Commit db31ed4 should help you, but your system doesn't provide libSM + libICE development headers + libraries. Aren't these installable?

willbprog127 · 2019-11-12T17:51:33Z

Thanks :)

I updated and tried ./autogen.sh and got this at the top:

$ ./autogen.sh
Can't locate Date/Format.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Date::Format module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.30 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.30/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.30).

This didn't happen before...

Thank you gijsbers :)

willbprog127 · 2019-11-12T17:56:09Z

It appears that ./autogen.sh did not fail completely. I was able to do my configure and build, until I received this during build:

Date/Format.pm may be in package perl-TimeDate or so.
It looks like you haven't installed soundfile headers and libraries.
This may be in libsndfile.
You could also disable sound, or did you intent to use it?
Apparently sound is not disabled if libsndfile is absent.

willbprog127 · 2019-11-12T18:43:20Z

Thanks for your reply :-)

Date/Format.pm may be in package perl-TimeDate or so

I'm not finding any Perl modules that are close to that name. I'll keep looking.
EDIT: Found it, it was under 'p5' instead of 'perl' :-P

It looks like you haven't installed soundfile headers and libraries.

Just verified that they are installed. Shouldn't the configure script warn if it can't find them? The only warning I received during config is ~~configure: WARNING: AO is not supported~~ EDIT: Resolved by installing libao.

👍

willbprog127 · 2019-11-12T19:05:35Z

Apparently I was too hasty. I still couldn't get rid of the Perl error, but now have found the correct packages. On FreeBSD 12.1, these are the two packages to provide the necessary Perl functionality:

p5-DateTime-Format-DateManip
p5-DateTime-Format-DateParse

Thanks 😃

gijsbers · 2019-11-16T21:19:16Z

Could you perhaps give the concrete commands to install all required dependencies?

willbprog127 · 2019-11-16T22:05:47Z

Could you perhaps give the concrete commands to install all required dependencies?

The version of icewm in FreeBSD's repos is very old, but it seems to do what I want for the moment.

My plan is to make a FreeBSD virtual machine and try building the latest icewm on there, documenting which packages are needed. I'll post those notes here, if that's okay?

Thanks! 👍

willbprog127 · 2019-11-16T22:58:56Z

Here's the notes for trying to build the latest git icewm on a fresh FreeBSD install:

./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found

pkg install automake autoconf m4

./autogen.sh

Can't exec "autopoint" ...
autoreconf-2.69: autopoint is needed because this package uses Gettext

Researched and found that autopoint is part of gettext.

pkg install gettext

./autogen.sh

Runs farther, but has errors about undefined macros toward the end. Looks like it needs libtool.

pkg install libtool

./autogen.sh

Runs through libtoolize then shows following error:

configure.ac:61: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN...
configure.ac:85: error: possible undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
autoreconf-2.69: /usr/local/bin/autoreconf-2.69 failed with exit status: 1

Can't proceed further because I don't know what it wants now

Also, every time I run ./autogen.sh, the first line that appears says:

sed: 1: "configure.ac": command c expects \ followed by text

Thanks! :D

gijsbers · 2019-11-17T08:50:43Z

You need to install pkg-config for the dependency checking of configure to work.

If you run autogen.sh with the -x option then your shell will trace the commands and we may be able to better locate where the sed error occurs. Otherwise no clue.

willbprog127 · 2019-11-17T18:01:15Z

Thanks for the reply. I tried the -x option with ./autogen.sh, but the output didn't change from before.

Here are my continuing notes after installing 'pkgconf':

pkg install pkgconf

./autogen.sh

./autogen.sh ran all the way through successfully.

./configure --disable-nls --disable-i18n --disable-fribidi

configure: WARNING: ASCIIDOC ${SHELL} /root/Downloads/icewm-icewm-1-4-BRANCH/scripts/missing asciidoctor is not supported.

configure: WARNING: No valid sound interface, not building icesound.

pkg install libsndfile libao asciidoc

./configure --disable-nls --disable-i18n --disable-fribidi

Configure ran all the way through without warnings.

It says:

configure: WARNING: No valid sound interface, not building icesound.

and then goes ahead and tries to build it:

CXX      icesound.o

That's an error in configure.ac and Makefile.am

gijsbers · 2019-11-17T20:12:13Z

Could you give the output of:

Thank you! Another test:
Could you configure and grep like this:

willbprog127 · 2019-11-17T20:32:39Z

👍

gijsbers · 2019-11-17T20:35:13Z

Sorry I forgot to mention you need to start configure with the -x option like bash -x ./configure

gijsbers · 2019-11-22T14:04:01Z

This is simpler and hopefully more robust for your system. If you have a supported sound system then it should never print "No valid sound interface, not building icesound." again.

willbprog127 · 2019-11-22T17:32:18Z

Great! Thanks so much! 👍

Now when I build, I get this error:

gijsbers · 2019-11-22T18:50:05Z

Is asciidoc and/or asciidoctor installed?
Is there a gnu make you could use?
Otherwise try make -k and see if this is the only thing that fails.
Or try touch doc/icewm.html.

willbprog127 · 2019-11-22T22:36:18Z

Yes, asciidoc is installed. I ended up installing gmake and everything built properly without needing to do the touch command. Yay! 🎉

So here is what should be installed on FreeBSD 12.1, beyond the standard xorg package, for icewm to build and work:

$ pkg install automake autoconf m4 gettext libtool pkgconf libsndfile libao asciidoc gmake p5-DateTime-Format-DateManip p5-DateTime-Format-DateParse

Thank you so much guys! I really appreciate it! 😄
