Slackbuild of Scilab 5.1 fails under Slackware64 13... is this reproducible...??

Alexvader · 11-25-2009, 10:12 AM

I Have tried to compile the SlackBuild for Scilab http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...fic/scilab/5.1 from Slacky e.u. for x64 arch under Slackware;

I Have manually download the packages, to an USB disk because my Slackware machine does not have www connection, and I have changed the slackbuild to use the tarballs, instead of downloading them, as well as to build for x86_64 arch ( Slackware 12.2 is 32 bits );

Also made some changes as to use gfortran, and about the location of ant.

The external prerequirements are all set up : pvm, lapack, blas, umfpack, metis, jdk, ocaml, fftw3, ant. ( there are slackbulds for them too, either for SL 12.2, or for SL 13...) .

this is the Slackbuild as I changed it...:

My changes are between comment lines....;

Anyway, the script, identifies the packages, untar them, and configures.

When it reaches the build phase, it complains in the same place, the ../libs/MALLOC thing, not finding some object to link with... and it is all about some mv -f something...

I have tried to change the "mv -f" to a "cp -a" in the Makefile.in and in the Makefile of ../libs/MALLOC, but the error continues...

I do not have the detailed log, I left it at my home PC, but I will bring this tomorrow...

Is This error reproducible...?

I am using a fresh sorce tree, unpacked from the scilab tarballs, in a Fresh Slackware64 13 install,

The only things I changed were :

The prerequirements ( as Slackbuilds ) to install GMSH, Paraview, Gnumeric, and Octave/QtOctave, ( all standard to SL 13 ) and I downgraded Python 2.6.2 to Python 2.5.2 using a Slackware 12.1 Slackbuild, to allow me to build Code Aster ( which calls for Python 2.5 ) And I upgraded Mesa to <current> to allow me to use BRL CAD with Raytracing features

Do you think that any of these things may have contributed to Scilab not properly building... ?

I mean... I can use src2pkg to build cmake projects, as well as "configure make install" build systems...

Why does this fail...?

Can anybody here reproduce this...? or is it just some cranky stuff in my system...??

I had a look at the debian patch for scilab-5.1.1 and found a patch there that looks like it might fix that -it has something to do with those files anyway, so it's worth a try:

Hi Gnashley

Thks for your answer, So you mean that if i paste that patch into scilab5.1 folder and run patch < DebianPatch it will do the job...? or must it be above the scilab5.1 folder...?

Will it be looking for sci5.1 or must I change the name of the thing...?

mostlyharmless · 11-25-2009, 11:52 AM

Looks like that patch is looking for scilab 5.0.3 files. Assuming the patch works on 5.1.1, I'd edit the patch file path name at the beginning so that it refers to 5.1.1. If you leave in the full path name you can execute it from wherever the path begins, eg. scilab root folder, or you can get rid of the path and execute it in the directory the Makefile is in, since I didn't see it patch anything else (but I might have missed something).

gnashley · 11-25-2009, 01:53 PM

'patch -p1' will make it ignore the first part of the path on those lines at the beginning of the diff. The patch is from a group of debian patches for 5.1.1 so it should still apply.
You can copy the patch into the sources, then cd in there and do:
patch -p1 < name-of-diff
or leave outside the sources and do:
patch -p1 < ../name-of-diff

Hi Knudfl

I know i did... what I am asking is :

Is this some cranky stupid mistake I have made in my Install/configuration of slackware and/or Scilab, or does this happen to others here in this forum...?

Before complaining about a possible bug to Scilab developers, one must be sure he's doing everything right... this the reason for me asking if this is reproducible by others... :-)

gnashley · 11-26-2009, 01:10 AM

I don't think it has anything to do with a 'bad' installation as it is referring to a file which is part of the same sources. The Tpo files are generated during compilation and this one is not getting done. Have you tried the patch?
If you want to try compilng it using src2pkg, all you have to do is place the patch alongside the sources in the current directory and it will be applied automatically.

Alexvader · 11-26-2009, 06:50 AM

...Failed at the same spot...

I will try again in a few hours with the 5.0.3 sources.... :-(

What pisses me more is that I have already built the binaries for 5.1.1, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...e64-13-769742/, using the configure make trackinstall scheme, but it was a useless version, because I had to --without-scicos... because of a missing reference to clock_gettime function...

I dumped the source tree, and I do not recall exactly whathave I done to get past this "mv -f" MALLOC thing...

It was a working version, although useless for me, it had no scicos ( control theory toolbox ) support, and had some graphical issues which i solved copying some jogl.jar stuff to my Java source tree, as advised in the Inria Scilab wiki page...

...for a "geek wannabe" engineer like me this is rather frustrating...

The version 4.1.2 SlackBuild for Slackware 12.x builds allright, athough not as complete as the 5.x.y, but the editor functions ( a tcl window ) is bugged, one cannot close it or perform any edit/close/open/save functions ( i.e. no script editing...)

This was the reason for me asking " is this just me, or it happens to everyone...?"

Once again, thanks

@ gnashley :
It isn't so that the Tpo's are not created.
The application scilab is obviosly looping one ore more times.
And then the "mv -f Tpo Po" is stopping the compiling.
Changing "mv -f Tpo Po" to "cp -a Tpo Po" in Makefile.in solves
the issue. Also proves that the Tpo files actually were created.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...7/?highlight#2
> > # 2 .
I had the same issue with another application a couple of months ago.

@ Alexvader : Some applications do loop briefly or continiously
on some Linux's. For reasons I don't know.
A good example is with 'Insight', a GUI version of 'gdb', going
into an infinite loop on Mandriva 2007 and PCLinuxOS 2007, but
on no other Linux's.
.....
So far I have compiled Scilab on three different OS within the
last months. All 32 bit OS. I think the looping with those
particular files happened too on Mandriva 2009.1 .
But no problems on Slackware 13 and PCLinuxOS 2009.

Hi Knudfl

Thanks for your answer; as I told, I tried with the 5.0.3... And using tha patch pointed to me by @Gnashley, no avail... this time, ./configure states a missing -lrt ( librt ), so I reconfigured --without-scicos... but then again, #make will stop at the same point.

I will try your approach changing the seven references "mv -f" to "cp -a" in Makefile.in and Makefile, but I think i've been there and didn't do much... I will try again anyway :-)

One more question, yu stated that you have compiled the Scilab thing for various distros... were they 64bit releases...?

I am inclined to think that this is a 64bit thing... I do not use 32 bits releases... AFAIK all slackbuilds for Scilab ( 4.1.2 and 5.1 ) were targeted for 32b OS... may this be the prob...?

Alex

EDIT:

Everytime I itry a new OS, or try to build something for a Distro, I try it under 64bit ARCH...
since I intend to run this OS under large memory models, 16 Gb min, this means memory adress pointers that cannot be coped with in 32bit arch... and then ther is the issue of speed efficiency of binaries compiled for 64 bit arch vs binaries compiled for 32bit arch running under a 64 bit processor

This is why I never even lose any time trying the 32bit thing...

knudfl · 11-27-2009, 08:17 AM

All 32 bit = old pentium 4 , 2.7 .. 3.0 GHz.

I have no 64 bit computer(s) for the moment.
.....

No need to change the Makefile, the lines are in the Makefile.in only. AFAIK.
Please read the reference link again.

You'll need to use 'patch -p0 < name-of-diff' with this one. Hopefully that will get you going.

Alexvader · 11-27-2009, 09:47 AM

Hi @Gnashley, @Knudfl,

In a few hours I will have some time free in the lab, and i will untar fresh new source files of prerequirements-Scilab, and src-Scilab, cp your patch to Scilab-5.1.1/libs/MALLOC, and run 'patch -p0 < MyPatch, ./configure&&make&&trackinstall and report here how it went...

( crossing my fingers already... :-) )

.. This is weird though... :-( How come automake, and gcc work allright in some distros and not in others...?

I thought that POSIX compilance automatically fixed these issues... :-|

Alexvader · 11-28-2009, 02:12 PM

Hi @Gnashley, @Knudfl

I don't really think that the file to be moved ever gets created... :-(

@Gnashley, Thanks for your patch, I ran it with patch -p0 < LastPatch in the source top directory of Scilab-5.1.1, and shell really showed Makefile.in being patched, so I went through all the drill again... ( ./conf make ...) and it stopped at the same spot... the mv -f thing;

So I rm -rf scilab-5.1.1, untared a fresh new source tree, and ran the patch -po < LastPatch in ../Scilab-5.1.1 AND in ../Scilab-5.1.1/libs/MALLOC... same drill, same result... :-(

As a last ditch try, I again rm -rf scilab-5.1.1, untared a fresh new source tree, and hand edited EACH and EVERY occurence of "mv -f" to "cp -f" in ../Scilab-5.1.1/Makefile.in and in ../Scilab-5.1.1/libs/Makefile.in in nano.

... ran the ./conf-make drill again, and this time ( this one kills me... ) the error message was about not having a file to COPY...

The makefile.in are signed by Sylvestre Ledru from Inria, to whom I have also posed the problem of compilation in Slackware64 13... It shows up in the users list of Scilab... so far he has found no solution for this... :-(

In Two hours I will post here my Hand edited Makefile.in files, as well as the detailed build logs of the result using the patch, and the result after the hand editing to change all ocurrences of "mv -f" to "cp -f"...

I guess this must be Karma... :-(

Thanks to all of you ppl... :-)
