Can't build Release 3.0.1 on Debian 10 #3

Closed Swiftb0y closed 5 years ago

Swiftb0y commented 5 years ago

Hey, I'm very interested in your project but I have issues building the latest release. First of our install instructions are a bit out-of-date. You are saying to execute configure directly. However, autogen.sh has to be run before to actually generate configure. But my actual issue is that autogen.sh fails as well:

Preparing the LiVES build system...please wait

Found GNU Autoconf version 2.69
Found GNU Automake version 1.16.1
Found GNU Libtool version 2.4.6

Automatically preparing build ... Warning: autoreconf failed
Attempting to run the preparation steps individually

Preparing build ... 
Warning:  Unsupported macros were found in ./configure.ac

The configure.ac file was scanned in order to determine if any
unsupported macros are used that exceed the minimum version
settings specified within this file.  As such, the following macros
should be removed from configure.ac or the version numbers in this
file should be increased:

AC_GNU_SOURCE

Ignorantly continuing build preparation ... 
Warning: autoconf seems to have succeeded by removing the following options:
    AUTOCONF_OPTIONS="-f"

Removing those options should not be necessary and indicate some other
problem with the build system.  The build preparation is highly suspect
and may result in configuration or compilation errors.  Consider
rerunning the build preparation with verbose output enabled.
    ./autogen.sh --verbose

Hi, running autogen.sh should only be necessary if you check out the code from git. If you are building from a source release then you should only need to run configure.

It seems like AC_GNU_SOURCE is now obsolete; this needs to be replaced with AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS in configure.ac. I will update this in git.

./intl should be created by autoreconf -i, which is normally run as part of the autogen.sh process. It may be that due to the prior warning this is not being run in your case.

You can try amending configure.ac as noted, and then running ./autogen.sh --verbose as recommended. You should see it running autoreconf and generating ./intl.

Alternately you can download a release file (.tar.bz2 or .gz) and then simply run ./configure and make install.

I tried the release file (because I have some issues installing the dependencies for compiling the code from the repository) but as I noted previously, there is no configure script present in any of the release versions.

salsaman commented 5 years ago

Sure there is ! http://lives-video.com/releases/LiVES-3.0.1.tar.bz2 for example has the configure script included.

Swiftb0y commented 5 years ago

Ahh, yes these include them. I was using the github releases. Thanks for your help.

salsaman commented 5 years ago

For debian there is also: https://packages.debian.org/sid/lives (just for future reference).

Swiftb0y commented 5 years ago

Yes, but as I've outlined previously, I'm using buster, which has not been updated: https://packages.debian.org/buster/lives

Unfortunately I still can't build it fully. It fails at po

Looks like either you don't have gettext installed or it is broken on your system. You can either install / fix gettext or run ./configure --disable-nls

Swiftb0y commented 5 years ago

I thought I had it installed. But a simple apt-get install gettext solved it. Thank you.
