Building instructions for Ubuntu don't work #38

Closed mgaunard closed 10 years ago

mgaunard commented 10 years ago

I tried to follow the instructions to build on Ubuntu 14.04 but they don't work. 1) I wasn't able to build classpath at all, it's not finding a freetype header despite it being installed. 2) I had to add -lncurses to the build flags otherwise I had undefined references to ncurses symbols coming from /usr/lib/llvm-3.4/lib/libLLVMSupport.a

@mgaunard Which version of GNU Classpath did you attempt to build?

penberg commented 10 years ago

AFAICT, it's a LLVM problem on Ubuntu but as there's no harm in including ncurses, I fixed it up like that in commit b90be30d9e0a5be75cbaea1f3762ecc8ddafdbe8.

0.99, as instructed in the README

penberg commented 10 years ago

I think the problem is fixed in GNU Classpath master.

The following works for me on Ubuntu 14.04:

$ git clone git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/classpath.git
$ cd classpath
$ sh autogen.sh
$ ./configure --disable-Werror --disable-plugin
$ make -j8
$ sudo make install

I guess we should put that in the README instead of telling people to download 0.99.

Thanks, I can confirm that this works correctly. You might want to update the README to reflect this.

Fixed by #39. Closing
