Have you installed GLEW on your system? If so, please refer to https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/pull/9544 And add FindGLEW.cmake to the cmake/Module. thanks.

[raould]

Thanks for your comment. The part in the logs above "dpkg-query -l|egrep -i "glew|glfw"" is showing what I already have installed, so I think I already have lib GLEW installed. Is there anybody else using Ubuntu who has this problem who has fixed it? Obviously #9544 has that problem on Ubuntu 12, I'm on Ubuntu 14. What is the smallest local change to the CMake files to fix it, does anybody know?

[vovkasm]

@raould, can you run this command in you environment, please:

sudo find /usr -iname '*glew*' -print

For ex, on my ArchLinux, results are:

I just install ubuntu/trusty32 (Official Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) builds) with vagrant.

• Upgrade apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
• Install git, cmake, gcc, etc...
• clone v3 branch
• Then install all deps (python2 download_deps.py -r no, build/install-deps-linux.sh and tools/travis-scripts/install_glfw.sh)
• Then mkdir ~/build, cd ~/build, cmake ../cocos2d-x

So. Why I don't have any errors?

Hi, @vovkasm When I try to build cocos2d-x v3 on my Ubuntu 12.04 64bit server, it indeed gives me errors, I added another FindGLEW.cmake to resolve this issue. And I have also made a PR: https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/pull/9544 But this PR is not perfect, so I closed it.

But I can build it successfully on my Ubuntu 14.04 desktop. I don't know why. It seems the installation of GLEW is failed. And the script build/install-deps-linux.sh is not working for me. I have to manually install all the dependencies. Anything I have missing here?

After running

sudo find /usr -iname '*glew*' -print

It gives me the following output:

@andyque,

When I try to build cocos2d-x v3 on my Ubuntu 12.04 64bit server, it indeed gives me errors, I added another FindGLEW.cmake to resolve this issue. And I have also made a PR: #9544 But this PR is not perfect, so I closed it.

Yes, 12.04 is another story... I'll try to look into it today (also, only configure part)...

And the script build/install-deps-linux.sh is not working for me. I have to manually install all the dependencies.

Yes, me too. But that script contains list of packages, so I can install them manually.

Ok, I re-did things like run the install-deps-linux.sh, and apt-get install glew-utils libglew-dev. I noticed e.g. gnutls failed during the sh script, so I did a manual install. Now I am getting further, past the GLEW problem, hooray! (I apparently am missin CURL libs, next :-)

i'm install glfw3 manuly and fixed that problem in ubuntu 14 64bit please fallow this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17768008/how-to-build-install-glfw-3-and-use-it-in-a-linux-project

i was try install manually all dependencies, but some dependencies have an error, my source.list was broken, and my debian version was Sid (unstable version). I fix it doing downgrade to Jessie.

I follow the step-by-step in this link: https://www.vivaolinux.com.br/dica/apt-pinning-Forcando-downgrades-em-Debian-likes

the link is in pt-br, in this link the author do: 1 - prepare the apt-pinning: for this, create a file named preferences in /etc/apt/ , and insert into the file:

Package: *
Pin: release n= version
Pin-priority:1500

where has version, put the version of the debian distro you want to make downgrade (if you want make downgrade to Jessie version, for example, put Jessie).

2 - Modify the sources.list: Change the source.list of your pc to another compative with the distro you want.

3 - Make downgrade with apt-get: use the command in the terminal (with root):

for i in clean autoclean update dist-upgrade update upgrade autoremove ; do apt-get "$i" ; done

the system will clean the cache of the old source.list, read the new source.list and make downgrade

OBS: if you want to confere the version of your debian distro use the command in terminal: lsb_release -a it will result in a return like this:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
