[solved] - Help with compiling [fbida]

tpfkanep · 2018-01-16 19:52:37

I get this error when trying to compile fbida:

Build dependencies missing for fbi and/or fbpdf.
  fbi   needs:  freetype2 fontconfig libdrm libexif libpng libtiff-4 libwebp
  fbpdf needs:  libdrm poppler-glib gbm epoxy cairo-gl
Please install.  You can try 'make yum' (needs sudo).
make: *** [GNUmakefile:28: deps] Error 1

What is causing the compile to fail...? Could it be gbm - Game Backup Monitor monitors games and backs up their savegames, which is an aur package?

Thanks.

Why are you building fbida, instead of using the package from the repo? https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … _64/fbida/

The build is failing because it is missing one or more of the dependencies. It could be gbm or any of the others. It is pretty easy to check to see which are installed and which are not. Looking at the full output from 'make' (instead of just the end result) might also give you a clue.

Thanks for the reply.

I am using ranger & fbida (which incl. the fbpdf utility). When I try to run fbpdf I get this error: fbpdf: symbol lookup error: fbpdf: undefined symbol: cairo_gl_surface_swapbuffers. Searching, I could only find this clue: https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopi … pdf#p56973 where fbida was compiled from source.

make produces the same output as what makepkg does.

Looks like the package just needs rebuilt. Rebuilding manually isn't the way to fix this.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System

A bug report would also be in order.

Edit: The package won't build, either, because it needs cairo-gl which is an experimental backend that Arch no longer provides. Definitely need a bug report.

Help with bug report:
1] Should I make an package request (AUR -or- Arch repository) for cairo-gl before making the bug report?
2] I dunno if this is an upstream -or- Arch issue?

No need for making package request, click on bugs on the top panel and file.
This is not an upstream issue.

As a sidenote fbgs seems to be working fine. I wasn't even aware that fbida also provides fbpdf simultaneously ( which is probably updated version of fbgs).

1) There was already a request to add the gl backend back to cairo, it was denied.
2) The problem is with Arch's fbida packaging.

Edit:
Thanks for the fix with fbida 2.14-1.
