Error building synfigstudio from AUR

addr · 2009-05-25 19:14:25

I managed to install Kdenlive from the AUR using Yaourt but Synfigstudio ends with...

time.cpp:107: error: 'sscanf' was not declared in this scope
make[3]: *** [libsynfig_la-time.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/aur-synfig/synfig/src/synfig-0.61.09/src/synfig'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/aur-synfig/synfig/src/synfig-0.61.09/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...
Error: Makepkg was unable to build synfig package.

I have no clue what to try now and was hoping for some help/suggestions.

Thanks

Edited for typo

Probably a problem with the new gcc : http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/porting_to.html
Perhaps you need to add '#include <cstdio>' to the appropriate header files.

I am sorry, I have no idea how to do what you suggest.

Could you be more specific, please?

I'm not 100% sure, but you could try adding '#include <cstdio>' to the beginning of time.cpp.

Yes, this is likely to fix it, due to GCC 4.4's new semantics regarding include files.

karol · 2009-05-26 00:38:57

And if you run into similar problems w/ other files, treat them the same way.

addr · 2009-06-02 21:07:31

Thankyou but could you tell me how to do this...

#include <cstdio> to the beginning of time.cpp.

karol · 2009-06-02 21:10:32

You can open the file 'time.cpp' and add a line '#include <cstdio>' at the top.

addr · 2009-06-04 00:52:48

No file 'time.cpp' on my system.

To be a little more specific:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/aur-synfig/synfig/src/synfig-0.61.09/src'

That's most likely where you'll find it.

addr · 2009-06-04 13:45:16

Well I found the file and added the include but the /tmp just gets rewritten.
Is there somewhere permanent I should be putting the include file?
Sorry to be so ignorant here.

You will need to patch the source code before building it, which I expect you won't be able to do (no offense intended). Alternatively, you could try building the app with gcc 4.3, gcc 3.4, or gcc 3.3, all of which are available in either the AUR or the extra repo.

btw, I've changed the thread topic to be more descriptive of the actual problem.

No idea how to do this with yaourt but why not just:

download the tar.gz from AUR

download and extract source with makepkg -o

edit time.cpp to correct headers

use makepkg -e to build without overwriting the modified file

use pacman -U to install the resulting pkg.tar.gz

You forgot the important "submit patch upstream" step.

guilty as charged , however I only skipped it because tomk already excluded patching.
