RAHasher - 1.4.0 - CHD not supported without HAVE_CHD compile flag

[RandomNinjaAtk]

Describe the bug Error when attempting to use RAHasher 1.4.0 with CHD file

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download latest 1.4.0 precompiled binary/zip from github
2. extract zip
3. give RAHasher execute permissions
4. run command RAHasher -v 12 "filename.chd"
5. See error

Expected behavior I expected the hash as output, similar to what is outputted when hashing non CHD files.

Screenshots Ouput:

root@6d71218333a2:/config# /usr/local/RALibretro/bin64/RAHasher
RAHasher 1.4.0
====================
Usage: RAHasher [-v] systemid filepath

  -v           (optional) enables verbose messages for debugging
  systemid     specifies the system id associated to the game (which hash algorithm to use)
  filepath     specifies the path to the game file
root@6d71218333a2:/config# /usr/local/RALibretro/bin64/RAHasher -v 12 "<test_file>.chd"
CHD not supported without HAVE_CHD compile flag

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu (Docker)

Additional context If there is something else I'm supposed to do to get it to work, I would appreciate the information. (quick google search of the error message was not helpful...) Was excited to see that CHD files should be supported in the latest version, so trying to test it out.... Previously I had to unpack the CHD file to hash it, this would streamline my process by making it a few less steps...

Have you tried building with make HAVE_CHD=1 as suggested by the error?

[RandomNinjaAtk]

I did not build, I downloaded the precompiled binary for ease of deployment/use.... see below: https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/docker-raromprocessor/blob/c1f4a6992f9d7ea837beef23c02aafbecc55f4ca/Dockerfile#L57-L61

I can look at building it alternatively, but maybe the precompiled binary should already have it enabled?

[Jamiras]

Your steps to reproduce say "Make binary executable", which I interpreted as build the executable. You should have linked the docker commands in the first place.

The prebuilt linux executables are managed by a github action. It looks like that's not providing the HAVE_CHD=1 flag.

[RandomNinjaAtk]

Compiled it with the flag, but a new error:

root@02612a87ace1:/config/test2# bin64/RAHasher

I'm not sure what's in file.chd, but this seems to work fine for me:

brian@ubuntu18 master:~/source/RALibretro$ bin64/RAHasher -v 12 ~/roms/Darkstalkers\ 3.chd

[RandomNinjaAtk]

Are there other dependencies? Since I'm using a docker container and may have not accounted for it...

file.chd is a CHD rom file that I changed the file name for posting here. I'll try to do some more testing.

[Jamiras]

There shouldn't be any external dependencies. If you didn't get any compilation errors, it's a functional thing. The git submodule should tie you to the same version of libchd that I used.

"Could not locate primary executable" is a generic error message indicating several things could have gone wrong. Since you don't have a "Found SYSTEM.CNF at sector X" message, it seems like locating that is what failed.

Fresh build via docker hub and compiling with flag, it now appears to work:

root@700227a77bc8:/config# /usr/local/RALibretro/bin64/RAHasher -v 12 "A-Train - Trains, Power, Money (USA) (En,Ja,Fr,De).chd"
Found SYSTEM.CNF at sector 19492
Looking for boot executable: SLUS_000.03

So maybe my quick compile without full docker rebuild, it wasn't enough, so this should now be resolved. Also It looks like your fixing the issue with the precompiled binary, and this identified that...

Thanks for all the help!

I'll leave this open for now until you've resolved the precompiled binary issue. Feel free to close though...
