[SOLVED] Cannot compile DVDStyler 3.3b3 on Slackware-64 15

MikeVx · 07-11-2023, 11:14 PM

I've been trying to install DVDStyler on my system since I upgraded to Slackware 15.0. Nothing has worked so far.

My present state of things:
I have installed wxWidgets-3.2.2.1 to clear up errors about wxsvg versions.
I have tried DVDstyler versions from 3.0.4 to 3.3b3, and all give some kind of compile-time error.

The least error-filled version is 3.3;.b3, with this clip from the end of the compile:

Code:

g++  -g -O2   -o dvdstyler Config.o Languages.o Utils.o SysUtils.o Cache.o mediaenc.o mediaenc_ffmpeg.o mediatrc_ffmpeg.o mediactrl_ffmpeg.o Palette3D.o DVDAction.o TextSub.o Stream.o Cell.o Vob.o Pgc.o SubStream.o Titleset.o DVD.o dvdvml.o dvdvmy.o MenuObject.o MenuPalettes.o Menu.o Slideshow.o MPEG.o About.o AnimationDlg.o MessageDlg.o SettingsDlg.o NewProjectDlg.o WelcomeDlg.o DVDPropDlg.o TemplateDlg.o VideoFrameDlg.o MenuActionsDlg.o MenuCellsDlg.o MenuPropDlg.o MenuObjectPropDlg.o MenuEditor.o VobListBox.o AudioPropDlg.o VideoPropDlg.o SubtitlePropDlg.o ChaptersDlg.o SlideDlg.o TitlePropDlg.o TitlesetManager.o BurnDlg.o ProgressDlg.o MenuObjectDef.o ButtonEditDlg.o ButtonAddParamDlg.o DirCtrl.o StatusBar.o MainWin.o dvdstyler.o Process.o ProcessTranscode.o ProcessCleanTemp.o ProcessProjectInfo.o ProcessMenu.o ProcessEncode.o ProcessMenuTransitions.o ProcessSlideshow.o ProcessSubtitles.o ProcessDvdFilesystem.o ProcessPreview.o ProcessIsoImage.o ProcessEccData.o ProcessFormatDvd.o ProcessBurn.o  ../wxVillaLib/libwxvilla.a -ljpeg -L/usr/local/lib -pthread   -lwx_gtk3u_html-3.2 -lwx_gtk3u_core-3.2 -lwx_baseu_net-3.2 -lwx_gtk3u_media-3.2 -lwx_baseu-3.2   -lavformat -lavcodec -lavutil -lswscale -lavfilter -L/usr/local/lib -lwxsvg  -lexif -lfontconfig -lfreetype -ludev -ldbus-1

/usr/bin/ld: /lib64/libz.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [Makefile:596: dvdstyler] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory '/codgerspace/clutter/DVDStyler-3.3b3/src'
make: *** [Makefile:469: all-recursive] Error 1

Feeding the ld errors to search engines has not produced a useful result for me.

I did try hunting for an AppImage, as I've side-stepped compile failures for some other apps that way, but I can't find an AppImage for DVDStyler.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Maybe do like it suggests and add libz to LIBS?
https://github.com/vitalif/grive2/issues/319

"inflateEnd" sure looks like a zlib function yet I don't see any -lz.

If it's any help.
This is how arch builds 3.2.1

I had actually set the flag suggested in the linked page, and got the output I pasted in above. cmake is not used by the sources I am using, so I did 'LDFLAGS="-lz" make' and got the pasted result. I tried exporting the variable and got the same result.

I don't write software at anything like that complexity level, so I'm not sure if there is anywhere else I can specify zlib.

I always try Slackbuilds first. Even after installing the wxWidgets to get rid of the wxsvg errors for some of the other versions, I get:

Code:

checking for libwxsvg >= 1.5.19... no
configure: error: *** missing wxSVG library >= 1.5.19 ***

I have wxSVG 1.5.24 installed.

I've never used arch. Looking at that it looks like it is setting up functions but doesn't actually call them.

I had issues compiling dvdstyler-3.3b3 on -current due to wxWidgets complaints.

I had wxGTK3 built from ponce's SBo script for -current installed. This build gives a package with a number of /usr/lib64/libwx_gtk3u* files, but dvdstyler expected libwx_gtk2u versions

AlienBob's buildscript for wxGTK3 provides a package containing both versions. With a package built with this script (and the wxWidgets-3.2.2.1 source) dvdstyler built just fine.

wxWidgets (and how upstream adapts to new versions) is a real PITA.

I must be doing something wrong. Based on what you said I pulled the wxWidgets-3.2.2.1 source and edited the Slackbuild file to use it.

The result when attempting to configure DVDStyler 3.3b3:

Code:

checking for lex output file root... lex.yy
checking for lex library... none needed
checking whether yytext is a pointer... yes
checking for bison... bison -y
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for wx-config... /usr/local/bin/wx-config
checking for wxWidgets version >= 3.0.0... yes (version 3.2.2)
checking for wxWidgets static library... no
checking for wxWidgets media... no
configure: error: 
    wxWidgets media library (libwx_gtk2u_media) is missing.

I'm getting closer.

Thanks.

That's odd, AlienBob's buildscript (from the link I provided above) should give you a package containing both libwx_gtk2u and libwx_gtk3u files.

What if you replace (downgrade) your wxGTK3 package with AlienBob's wxGTK3-3.2.1.txz ?

Installed that, same result when configuring. DVDStyler.

Very odd.

Could you check if your /usr/lib64/ contains the file libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0.2.1 (and the symlinks libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0 and libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so)?

If not, could you extract the wxGTK3 package and see if the file is there? It should be, see https://slackware.uk/people/alien/sl..._64-1alien.lst

But then it's a mystery why it hasn't been installed on your system.

I have the libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0.2.1 file, but the symlink chain points to libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0.1.0. Can I just change the so.0 link to point to the so.0.2.1 file and see if that works? (Being cautious here.)

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root        26 Jul 28 10:46 libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so -> libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root        30 Jul 28 10:46 libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0 -> libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root     85160 Sep 20  2022 libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root     97576 Jul 27 23:59 libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0.2.1

Seems as if you have more than one wxGTK version installed, or residual files after upgrade/downgrade Maybe this affects the build process.

libwx_gtk2u_media_so.0.1.0 is part of AlienBob's wxGTK3-3.2.1 package, and the symlinks were correctly made for that version during install. But I would expect dvdstyler to build fine against that version, so the error message you received is mysterious.

libwx_gtk2u_media.so.0.2.1 is part of wxGTK3-3.2.2.1 and ought to have been removed when you downgraded to version 3.2.1. But since it's there, it should be fine to try new symlinks that point to libwxgtk2u_media.so.0.2.1 and see if that helps.

If not, I would uninstall wxGTK3 (and also check if than one version installed. If so, they should all be uninstalled). Then I'd install either AlienBob's package or a package built with his buildscript and the 3.2.2.1 source file and keep my fingers crossed.

Changing the links didn't help. I tried removing all of the versions of wxGTK3, then putting things back one at a time. I'm trying to figure out how I got the 3.2.2.1 set in there, because I can't seem to make it turn up again. Using either the 3.2.1 or the 3.2.2.1 alien package nets:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root        26 Jul 28 21:49 libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so -> libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root        30 Jul 28 21:49 libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0 -> libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0.2.1
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root     97576 Jul 27 23:59 libwx_gtk2u_media-3.2.so.0.2.1

I can't configure DVDStyler.

I'll keep fiddling, but this is driving me sane...
