Cmake fails because of libplist "missing" even though it is installed.

(posted by @ivanzgroot at the old UxPlay antimof site) https://github.com/antimof/UxPlay/issues/134

Cmake fails looking for libplist-2.0 but libplist-2.2.0-9.fc38.x86_64 is already installed. Running on Fedora 38.

`-- Project name: uxplay -- Will compile using X11 Libraries (use cmake option -DNO_X11_DEPS=ON if X11 dependence is not wanted) -- CFLAGS "" from build environment will be postpended to CMAKE_CFLAGS -- Using CFLAGS with -march=native -- ONLY USE THIS WHEN COMPILING ON THE MACHINE THAT WILL RUN UXPLAY -- run "cmake -DNO_MARCH_NATIVE=ON" to switch off this compiler option -- using CMAKE_CFLAGS: -DSTANDALONE -DSTDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -DSTDC_LIMIT_MACROS -DTARGET_POSIX -D_LINUX -fPIC -DPIC -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall -Ofast -march=native -- Checking for one of the modules 'libplist>=2.0' -- Checking for one of the modules 'libplist-2.0' CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:894 (message): None of the required 'libplist-2.0' found Call Stack (most recent call first): lib/CMakeLists.txt:92 (pkg_search_module)

if I run:

sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install libplist

the results are:

Package libplist-2.2.0-9.fc38.x86_64 is already installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!

UxPlay builds correctly on fedora 38 (tested)

@ivanzgroot : From your cmake output, it looks like pkgconf (to provide "pkg-config") might not be installed. what does "which pkg-config" report (should be "/usr/bin/pkg-config")

The UxPlay README says

You also need pkg-config: if it is not found by "which pkg-config", install pkg-config or its work-alike replacement pkgconf. Also make sure that cmake>=3.4.1 is installed:

On Fedora 38 install two rpms: pkgconf and pkgconf-pkg-config

ivanzgroot commented 1 year ago

Hey, Thanks for the repost in here @fduncanh. I accidentally published to the old site.

I just tried to install the packages with:

sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install pkgconf-pkg-config pkgconf

and it came back with:

Package pkgconf-pkg-config-1.8.0-6.fc38.x86_64 is already installed. Package pkgconf-1.8.0-6.fc38.x86_64 is already installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!

So pkgconf is installed.

But I just got it working. It was indeed missing the libplist-2.0 package. I had libplist-2.2.0-9.fc38.x86_64 installed but cmake is looking for libplist-devel-2.2.0-9.fc38.x86_64 . After installing it the Cmake command worked.

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

OK! The UxPlay README does list libplist-devel in the RedHat instructions!

Red Hat, or clones like CentOS (now continued as Rocky Linux or Alma Linux): (sudo dnf install, or sudo yum install) openssl-devel libplist-devel avahi-compat-libdns_sd-devel gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel (+libX11-devel for fullscreen X11) (some of these may be in the "CodeReady" add-on repository, called "PowerTools" by clones)

hello! i get the following error when i run uxplay uxplay: error while loading shared libraries: libplist-2.0.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libsplist is installed

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

@shubhxms give more details. did you compile uxplay yourself? which version ("uxplay -v") what distribution?

how do you know that libplist is installed? (the error message appears to indicate that it isn't)

EDIT: look for it with

find /usr  -name  "libplist*"

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

on e.g. Ubuntu-22.04 LTS, libplist-2.0.so.3 is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ and is installed by "sudo apt install libplist3"

If you built uxplay yourself (recommended) and followed the instructions you should have it installed.

If you used a prebuilt package, that package should have included libplist in its requirements.

geeflaxx commented 1 year ago

Hey I have arch linux and libplist3 is not in the package manager

does someone has a solution?

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

what makes you think you need "libplist3" ???? (This is a name used by Ubuntu/Debian, for non-obvious reasons, originally introduced in Debian 10 to distinguish libplist-2.0 from libplist-1.x, which were both supplied) Debian describes it in https://packages.debian.org/sid/libplist3

Arch puts everything needed in its "libplist" package, which is clearly installed on your system. "pacman -Ql libplist" shows what it contains

Is something not working for you?

From the README (if you are not using AUR):

Building on non-Debian Linux and *BSD

Arch Linux (Also available as a package in AUR): (sudo pacman -Syu) openssl libplist avahi gst-plugins-base.

geeflaxx commented 1 year ago

I already installed it

EDIT by fduncanh: @geeflaxx :

Your issue (/usr/lib/libplist-2.0.3 replaced by /usr/lib/libplist-2.0.4 on Arch Linux) is unrelated to "libplist3" on Debian-based systems. despite the number "3" in both. See below

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

a new release of libplist was recently made, unfortunately with one single modified item in its supposedly "stable" API that breaks some apps, but not uxplay. See https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libplist/releases and https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libplist/issues/227

When the new release is compiled, the shared library it produces is now called "libplist-2.0.so.4" instead of "libplist-2.0.so.3". This was probably done because of the slight change in API.

Arch Linux recently upgraded libplist to this new version, and previously-compiled uxplay binaries that were compiled against the older libplist need to be rebuild (either using AUR scripts, or using the uxplay build instructions from this site).

in case of doubt, "ldd /usr/bin/uxplay | grep libplist" (AUR builds) or "ldd /usr/local/bin/uxplay | grep libplist" (your own builds) will confirm which version of libplist your uxplay executable was compiled against.
"pacman -Ql libplist | grep libplist-2.0 .so" will show you which version of libplist is installed on your Arch-based system
After upgrading libplist, Just rebuild uxplay from source or with AUR, and you will be OK

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

Closing, see #199

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

@shubhxms

If you are using Arch Linux, the issue is because of a recent Arch update of libplist after uxplay was compiled. See #199 You just need to rebuild uxplay (using AUR, if that is how you installed it)

Suggestion: always give full details, such as which distribution you use, and description (e.g. "it used to work, but has stopped working")

shubhxms commented 1 year ago

@shubhxms give more details. did you compile uxplay yourself? which version ("uxplay -v") what distribution?

i am on a arch based distro, i downloaded the AUR package

"uxplay -v " returns an error: "uxplay: error while loading shared libraries: libplist-2.0.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

how do you know that libplist is installed? (the error message appears to indicate that it isn't)

i tried installing and the system said "reinstalling, already installed"

EDIT: look for it with
find /usr  -name  "libplist*"

oh! thank you!

i will keep that in mind, sorry for the confusion!

All good now?

shubhxms commented 1 year ago

I get the "could not connect to Uxplay@" error (https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay#2-uxplay-starts-but-stalls-after-initialized-server-sockets-appears-with-the-server-name-showing-on-the-client-but-the-client-fails-to-connect-when-the-uxplay-server-is-selected) firewalld is not running and I do not have ufw installed

run "uxplay -d" and post the output here

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

sounds like a firewall. I'll boot Arch and look

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

check for the firewall with

sudo systemctl status firewalld

stop it with

sudo systemctl stop firewalld

shubhxms commented 1 year ago

sudo systemctl status firewalld

firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/firewalld.service; disabled;> Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:firewalld(1)

it is not running

same issue - "could not connect to uxplay@"

fduncanh commented 1 year ago

The symptom you have means that the uxplay server is not hearing anything back from the iOS device. You need to find out why.

On arch, with the firewall disabled, it works here

sudo systemctl status firewalld

hi! i gave up on the idea back then but was able to get it working now! thank you so much for being so responsive and helpful! :)

Hi, when I compile Uxplay on Ubuntu 20.04 it gives me the same Issue as mentioned above in the Headline.

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
LIBPLIST
    linked by target "airplay" in directory /home/schule/bin/uxplay/UxPlay/lib

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Use of sudo apt install libplist3 says, that its allready installed. Same with libplist-dev.
