[SOLVED] How to build Mozart Programming System v2 on Slackware 15?

medictruck · 12-19-2023, 05:17 AM

Hello guys,

I wanted to fiddle around with Oz programming language as part of a course and was wondering what is the proper way to build it on Slackware 15. Although build instructions are given, but I was wondering if there is more correct way to install it.
I want to install this: https://github.com/mozart/mozart2#downloads

Regards,

This perhaps?

The advantage being that you can easily install and remove it, with installpkg and removepkg..

Into /home/user/test..

Quickly looking at it you should have everything set up on a full slackware install. So would be just a matter of untar, cmake and then install.

I checked the same. But, I haven't build ever myself from source writing slackbuild scripts myself. So, I am following the instructions given on that website.

Apparently, I am stuck on this:

Code:

CMake Error at /usr/lib64/cmake/Boost-1.78.0/BoostConfig.cmake:141 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /usr/lib64/cmake/boost_program_options-1.78.0/boost_program_options-config.cmake

  but it set boost_program_options_FOUND to FALSE so package
  "boost_program_options" is considered to be NOT FOUND.  Reason given by
  package:

  No suitable build variant has been found.

  The following variants have been tried and rejected:

  * libboost_program_options.so.1.78.0 (shared, Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON)

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/lib64/cmake/Boost-1.78.0/BoostConfig.cmake:262 (boost_find_component)
  /usr/share/cmake-3.21/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:594 (find_package)
  boosthost/emulator/CMakeLists.txt:22 (find_package)

Seems you have not the right libboost. You should try to see cmake -L to see the options you have in configuration or give it the libboost it wants.

saxa · 12-21-2023, 12:42 PM

You can try to use cmake -DMOZART_BOOST_USE_STATIC_LIBS=OFF

Hi.

It was the boost thing. I turned the static libs off and it worked well. The package build fine. For now, I must be happy that the package is working. I would like to learn to build the slackbuild way too. But, that's I will start with something very simple first.

Thank you.

Nice to hear it worked out.
