Can't build brasero-lite fro AUR

Nesrail · 2012-05-28 09:10:14

Hello.
I get this error when I try to build brasero-lite and I have NO idea how to fix it or what to look for.

/usr/bin/ld: eggsmclient-xsmp.o: undefined reference to symbol 'IceConnectionNumber'

Try making it without yaourt and see if the error persists.

The file /usr/lib/libICE.so.6 file points to currently in your system is probably stripped.

The error message describes the problem. It worked here when I added -lICE to the linker line in the Makefile.

I can't installed from pacman since its a AUR packages.

What does that mean???

How do I add -IICE to the makefile?

Trilby · 2012-05-28 11:34:12

There is an error somewhere in one of the autotools input files so configure doesn't detect that libICE is required. I don't use autotools, so I'm not sure how to fix this properly, but I added "-lICE" to the linker line in the Makefile in the "src" subdirectory. I just did this manually to try it out, but this could be added to the PKGBUILD right before the make command of the build script with a sed line like

sed -i 's/\(^LINK = .*\)\(\-o $@\)/\1 -lICE \2/' ./src/Makefile

EDIT: side-note: I'm not sure why the PKGBUILD doesn't have a package function. It seems to build the package tree in the build function. This is ill advised.

stripping is removing symbols/variables that are generally not necessary for using a application, from a object/binary file.
for i.e debug symbols. This helps cutting down the size of those files.

Nesrail · 2012-05-28 12:02:31

I don't want to sound annoying or anything but what files do you want to edit??

Trilby · 2012-05-28 13:58:34

??

If you want this to install properly you'll either have to edit the Makefile in the "src" subdirectory then cd back to the package directory and run `makepkg -efi --skipinteg`, or (the easier option) just add that sed line to the PKGBUILD then install normally using the PKGBUILD.

swanson · 2012-05-28 15:34:25

That source is old , the mewest is 3.4.1. A quick look in configure --help shows that it seems reasonably simple to make a new PKGBUILD with for example --disable-nautilus.

I'll try it later and report back. (Going sailing)

I added the line to the pkgbuild and got this

 Please run yaourt as a non-privileged user.
sed: can't read ./src/Makefile: No such file or directory

Where did you add the line? Did you put it right before the make command(s) in the build function as advised?

Also, did you try running yaourt as a regular user as directed by that first error?

Or just don't bother with yaourt at all. You've already downloaded the source - it'll be sitting there in your /tmp/ directory. Just edit the PKGBUILD as directed and use makepkg.

FYI: I use yaourt and am very happy with it - it works well. There is a reason, however, why many people discourage new users from using it or any other AUR helper. You should learn to use makepkg and the associated tools yourself so you can solve problems on your own - or at least reduce the ammount of hand-holding needed for other community members to help you solve the problem.

Edit: This may have sounded a bit judgemental, that was not intended. It was intended, however, to encourage you to learn to use those tools effectively. I'd rather teach someone to fish than just give them a fish.

I added the line just after "Providers".

Yes

Actually I thought yaourt was an extension of pacman and as easy to use. Its brilliant but lately I got alot of trouble with it. I ALWAYS search the internet and read about the stuff I use and asking for help is my last solution. I been using Linux for years (still considers myself a Linux newbie) but never needed so much knowledge about a distro as Arch. But I get the point. I will try and figure it out myself :-).
Off topic: Do you have any recommandation for what to read to fully understand Arch and/or linux, except for the Arch wiki?

I suppose in retrospect my earlier post could have been ambiguous. It should be *directly* before the make lines. Here is some context

build() {
  cd ${srcdir}/brasero-${pkgver}
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-caches --disable-schemas-install
  sed -i 's/\(^LINK = .*\)\(\-o $@\)/\1 -lICE \2/' ./src/Makefile
  make || return 1
  make GCONF_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_SCHEMA_INSTALL=1 DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install || return 1

  mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/share/gconf/schemas
  gconf-merge-schema ${pkgdir}/usr/share/gconf/schemas/${pkgname}.schemas \
    ${pkgdir}/etc/gconf/schemas/*.schemas
  rm -f ${pkgdir}/etc/gconf/schemas/*.schemas
}

The line starting with "sed" was added.

YES

... except for the Arch wiki?

Oh, then no ;o) I suppose I've found a lot of answers in the docs at www.gnu.org. The Make manual in particular relates to the current problem.

Just tinker. Making your own programs, or packages, a couple times when you don't have a clue what you're doing will give you the opportunity to run into every problem that could arise. I'm no expert - and any knowledge I have comes from a long history of f*^#ing it up, trying new things, googling for solutions, and eventually getting it right.

I just tested the PKGBUILD with the added "sed" line. The PKGBUILD that is in the AUR gave me the same error you got. When I added the -lICE parameter to the Makefile, it worked. But then I tried the PKGBUILD with the sed line I recommended a couple posts back, and it doesn't seem to be working for me either. Sorry. This will either have to be built manually, or reported as an error upstream.

Alright. Thanks for the help anyway. I better read some Arch Linux wiki now then :-D
