Build issue for Debian 8 (Jessie) plus workaround #231

Closed jjoganic closed 3 years ago

jjoganic commented 8 years ago

The premake executable appears to contain a hard-coded library path of -L/usr/lib64. This directory does not exist on Debian 8. As a result, the libGL.so fails to link when compiling the examples.

Setting LDFLAGS prior to building the SDK seems to take care of that.

$ export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lpthread"

I did not have any difficulty building or running the minko-example-cube executable after that.

Ideally, it should be possible to recompile the premake executable, but I'm not finding the source code in the tree. Perhaps someone can provide the location. I can understand using an ELF binary to generate the Makefiles, but from a bootstrapping point of view, perhaps compiling it from source prior to using it would obviate the need to commit opaque, monolithic executables directly into the repo.

Thanks for the feedback.

Wouldn't it be simpler to add the Debian-specific missing -L and let the hard-coded -L/usr/lib64 to be ignored?

Thanks for the workaround.

The bundled premake executable is a custom-built premake5 from a year ago. We'll definitely switch to a more recent one (hopefully when premake5 is out). In the meantime, we'll stick to a workaround.

The fix @promethe42 suggests should be implemented in module\minko\minko.project.lua. PR welcome if you want to contribute.
