[BUG] fatal error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory

[grantrostig]

Got error as below on ./install. Not sure if the huge output from the script is stored anywhere, I provided at least one fatal error that did not halt the script.
uname -a Linux fx6350-fedora 6.6.13-200.fc39.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Jan 20 18:03:28 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After the error, you can see that I installed alsa. Should I just re-run the install, or delete something first?

Thanks in advance for any assistance. +++++++++++++++++++++++ [ 26%] Building CXX object src/xtd.core.native.linux/CMakeFiles/xtd.core.native.linux.dir/src/xtd/native/linux/console.cpp.o [ 26%] Building CXX object src/xtd.core.native.linux/CMakeFiles/xtd.core.native.linux.dir/src/xtd/native/linux/debugger.cpp.o /home/grostig/src/Worthy-OS/xtd/src/xtd.core.native.linux/src/xtd/native/linux/console.cpp:17:10: fatal error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory 17 | #include <alsa/asoundlib.h> | ^~~~~~ compilation terminated. gmake[2]: [src/xtd.core.native.linux/CMakeFiles/xtd.core.native.linux.dir/build.make:90: src/xtd.core.native.linux/CMakeFiles/xtd.core.native.linux.dir/src/xtd/native/linux/console.cpp.o] Error 1 gmake[2]: Waiting for unfinished jobs.... gmake[1]: [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:541: src/xtd.core.native.linux/CMakeFiles/xtd.core.native.linux.dir/all] Error 2 gmake: [Makefile:166: all] Error 2 [ 0%] Built target xtd.core.native [ 25%] Built target xtd.core [ 25%] Building CXX object src/xtd.core.native.linux/CMakeFiles/xtd.core.native.linux.dir/src/xtd/native/linux/console.cpp.o /home/grostig/src/Worthy-OS/xtd/src/xtd.core.native.linux/src/xtd/native/linux/console.cpp:17:10: fatal error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory 17 | #include <alsa/asoundlib.h> | ^~~~~~ compilation terminated. gmake[2]: [src/xtd.core.native.linux/CMakeFiles/xtd.core.native.linux.dir/build.make:90: src/xtd.core.native.linux/CMakeFiles/xtd.core.native.linux.dir/src/xtd/native/linux/console.cpp.o] Error 1 gmake[1]: [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:541: src/xtd.core.native.linux/CMakeFiles/xtd.core.native.linux.dir/all] Error 2 gmake: *** [Makefile:166: all] Error 2 ~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd/build ~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd ~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/share/xtd/wxwidgets_release_install_manifest.txt': No such file or directory cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/share/xtd/wxwidgets_debug_install_manifest.txt': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat 'build/Release/install_manifest.txt': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat 'build/Debug/install_manifest.txt': No such file or directory Launching xtdc-gui... grostig@fx6350-fedora:~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd$ grostig@fx6350-fedora:~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd$ grostig@fx6350-fedora:~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd$ grostig@fx6350-fedora:~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd$ sudo dnf install alsa-lib-devel Installing: alsa-lib-devel x86_64 1.2.11-2.fc39 updates 901 k `

First of all, thank you for your interest in xtd.

For your information, unfortunately, the installation result is not saved anywhere.

Before reinstalling, you need to delete the build folder.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick response. I'm very impressed by the project and the documentation.

I have also installed these for Fedora 39 and the build almost worked: alsa-lib-devel gsound-devel libuuid-devel

I still have these errors, but the gui did start. Do you know if I need these two files? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- Up-to-date: /usr/local/share/xtd/locale/zh_TW/version.strings ~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd/build ~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd ~/src/Worthy-OS/xtd cp: cannot stat 'build/3rdparty/wxwidgets/build_cmake/Release/install_manifest.txt': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat 'build/3rdparty/wxwidgets/build_cmake/Debug/install_manifest.txt': No such file or directory

These two files are not always necessary and in your case they don't exist. I'm going to add a check on the existence of the files so as not to launch a copy that will fail. ;-)

[gammasoft71]

Fixed in the commit 07b1b3e

[gammasoft71]

The result of the installation is now recorded in the build/install.log file. See commit fe6d500 and commit b4fafaf.

[grantrostig]

Thanks for your quick action.

You may also want to consider adding the following packages to the fedora yum install list. They seemed to be what allowed my install to work on Fedora39. alsa-lib-devel gsound-devel libuuid-devel

[gammasoft71]

Hello again,

thank you for your involvement.

Yes, you are right, these packages are mandatory for xtd.

But I'm surprised because the installation procedure includes these packages except libuuid-deve which I forgot 😅.

The following line corresponds to the installation of packages for the Fedora distribution:

sudo yum update; sudo yum install alsa-lib-devel cmake gtk3-devel gsound-devel gtk3-devel -y;;

Can you confirm that these packages have not been installed by the xtd installer?

Otherwise I'll have to investigate...

[gammasoft71]

The libuuid-devel package is added for CentOs, Fedora and RedHat, see commit 029a969.
