[SOLVED] which bash environment variable for path to C++ header file?

mek42 · 2014-09-17 04:10:20

I'm a little rusty and forgot how to setup bash environment variables for when a header file is not found during compile.

I was building kmid2 from AUR with yaourt and had the following problem:

In file included from /tmp/yaourt-tmp-mark/aur-kmid2/src/kmid-2.4.0/alsa/alsabackend.cpp:21:0:
/tmp/yaourt-tmp-mark/aur-kmid2/src/kmid-2.4.0/alsa/alsamidiobject.h:24:24: fatal error: alsaclient.h: No such file or directory
 #include <alsaclient.h>
                        ^
compilation terminated.
alsa/CMakeFiles/kmid_alsa.dir/build.make:82: recipe for target 'alsa/CMakeFiles/kmid_alsa.dir/alsabackend.o' failed
make[2]: *** [alsa/CMakeFiles/kmid_alsa.dir/alsabackend.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [alsa/CMakeFiles/kmid_alsa.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:127: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

My Arch system is only a couple days old. I verified that drumstick was installed and that alsaclient.h was where the package file list said it should be ( https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … drumstick/ ). I then tried adding to .bashrc

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/include/drumstick

started a new bash shell to no avail. I repeated the process with LIBRARY_PATH, which also resulted in failure. I know that this is something very basic, I just can't remember what I need to do.

So, which bash environment variable do I need to point to /usr/include/drumstick? Or do I need to use CFLAGS or something?

You do not need to set anything. PKGBUILD file should resolve all dependencies for you. alsaclient.h should be already installed on your machine under /usr/include/drumstick/ directory.

The best thing for you is to report it to AUR project page and work with the maintainer on resolving the issue.

I made a comment in the AUR package space. I've also done some more reading after a night sleep and think that the Makefile needs to have -I/usr/include/drumstick added to CPPFLAGS. Next step is to try to figure out AUR / cmake enough to know where to put this. I might also try to export said variable from bash as a workaround.

I was able to get the package installed by using makepkg in a local copy followed by manually changing <*.h> to "/usr/include/drumstick" for all *.h provided by drumstick and then using make all as needed. I'll add this note to the AUR comment space.

I have been able to build with this modified PKGBUILD (sed manipulation added) for an italian forum user

    pkgname=kmid2
    pkgver=2.4.0
    pkgrel=1
    pkgdesc="MIDI/Karaoke player for KDE4"
    url="http://userbase.kde.org/KMid2"
    license="GPL"
    arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
    depends=('kdelibs' 'alsa-lib' 'phonon' 'drumstick')
    makedepends=('cmake' 'automoc4')
    optdepends=('timidity++')
    conflicts=('kmid-svn')
    source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/${pkgname}/${pkgver}/kmid-${pkgver}.tar.bz2)
    md5sums=('3abf39fdb31862d4d695613e8835bf00')

    build() {
         cd ${srcdir}/kmid-$pkgver
         sed -i 's/${DRUMSTICK-ALSA_INCLUDEDIR}/"\/usr\/include\/drumstick"/' CMakeLists.txt
         cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

         make
         make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install
       }

but it crashes on start

I hvea not a complete KDE environment, just needed dependencies. On the user KDE system there's tha same issue, and it seems to be solvable only downgrading drumstick to 0.5-2. Kmid seems to be a dead project, I don't know if anybody will ever update it to be compatible with drumstick 1.0.
