Manual installation problem #139

Closed Metalzero2 closed 4 years ago

Metalzero2 commented 5 years ago

I am writing down a few problems I had while trying to install the library using CMake

Problem 1 CMake was not able to download googletest 1.8.1 for some reason (even though the link is working). So I manually needed to download the file and changed the URL in the CMake file to where I locally had it.

Problem 2 It was not able to install "sphinx_rtd_theme", so I had to manually install that as well, by running the command $ pip install sphinx_rtd_theme.

Everything else went fine. Maybe this will help somebody else that came across the same issues.

@Metalzero2 Thanks for reporting this issue. Could you please let us know which Linux distribution and version you are using? Maybe that will help us resolve this issue.

Additionally, you ought to be able to do a minimal build without tests, documentation, or examples using the following commands:

cmake -H. -BRelease \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DLIBSERIAL_ENABLE_TESTING:BOOL=OFF \
    -DLIBSERIAL_BUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=OFF \
    -DLIBSERIAL_PYTHON_ENABLE:BOOL=OFF \
    -DLIBSERIAL_BUILD_DOCS:BOOL=OFF
cmake --build Release

We will document these options in the top-level README file in the future.

@crayzeewulf My system is Ubuntu 04.18 LTS (Kubuntu flavor). Additionally, my CMake version is 3.14.1, if it helps. If you need any other information, let me know.

crayzeewulf commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the information, @Metalzero2. I use Ubuntu 18.04 regularly for building LibSerial and have not encountered an issue with googletest so far. The commands that I typically use for building on Ubuntu 18.04 are listed in this Dockerfile. Maybe looking through that file might give you some ideas.

Regarding sphinx_rtd_theme, one might have to install python-sphinx-rtd-theme or python3-sphinx-rtd-theme package on Ubuntu using one of the following commands:

sudo apt install python3-sphinx-rtd-theme
sudo apt install python-sphinx-rtd-theme

I will document this in the top-level README file shortly.

Hi @Metalzero2 , could you retest the current master branch and let us know if this issue is fixed or if it needs a little more work? Thanks!

mcsauder commented 4 years ago

Hi @Metalzero2 , is this issue fixed for you? Thanks for your feedback!

Metalzero2 commented 4 years ago

Hi @mcsauder . For the time being, I have already kept the installation I did. I prefer not to uninstall it now that I have it working. When I get the chance to install it again, I will let you know if there is an issue. Unstill then, fell free to close this issue :)
