Codelite on RPi4/Ubuntu

Hello,

I am trying to build codelite 14 from sources on a RPi4 running 64 bit Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I followed the instructions given in the wiki (https://wiki.codelite.org/pmwiki.php/Developers/Linux) . I installed the listed packages, built and installed wxWidgets with gtk3 and tried building codelite.

However, cmake is giving error. The full log is below. I would appreciate any help very much.

Hi,
-- Could NOT find GTK3 (missing: GTK3_LIBRARY)
Are you certain you have libgtk-3-dev (and its dependencies) installed? That's what such configure errors usually point to.

The other missing items are less important: you can certainly build CodeLite without hunspell (but it's easy enough to apt install libhunspell-dev). And if your build does require libssh, bionic will need (iiuc) one of libssh-dev or libssh-gcrypt-dev.

Regards,

David

Hi Dave,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes. Looks like it already there. This is what I get when I try to install again

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
dev@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libgtk-3-dev is already the newest version (3.22.30-1ubuntu4).
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
linux-raspi-5.4-headers-5.4.0-1015
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Anyway, I will try a fresh install of ubuntu 18.04 and try again. May be something is broken in my installation. I will try the others once I can get the GTK3 resolved.

Thanks & regards,
Dinabandhu

Strange!

You could also try looking at the output of doing, in a terminal:
pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0
pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0

and compare with the output of:
wx-config --cxxflags
wx-config --libs

It's also a strange error message "Could NOT find GTK3 (missing: GTK3_LIBRARY)". I've not seen that in x86 installs, and there are only 2 elderly google hits for it.
If it persists, perhaps you could insert some debugging code into the relevant cmake module, <codelite-sourcedir>/cmake/Modules/FindGTK3.cmake
and its official cmake calls: it does e.g. find_library(GTK3_LIBRARY NAMES gtk-3)

Hello David,

Thanks again for your help.

I tried a fresh install but no luck ... same errors. I am attaching both the bash history (all executed command since installation) and the error on cmake.

I tried the outputs you wanted me to check but I am not sure what I should look. The output is below ...

I will try my best debugging cmake scripts but I am not familiar with cmake ... any help that you can give me would be great.

I don't see anything helpful in those outputs :(
However I notice that you're (still) using the wxWidgets from eranif's github. That's no longer necessary, and it might be worth trying with the latest official wx release, wx3.1.4.
I am not familiar with cmake
I'm more familiar than I'd like to be, but certainly no expert.
First:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -DCOPY_WX_LIBS=1
I suggest you insert:
VERBOSE=1
into that line.

The next thing is to look at the content of /home/ubuntu/dev/codelite/build-release/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log and *Error.log in case they actually tell us what's wrong ;)

My other specific suggestion is to insert into <codelite-sourcedir>/CMakeLists.txt some lines similar to:
message( "-- FOO is set to ${NAME_OF_VARIABLE_FOO}")
wherever it seems appropriate. The first place to try is just after the
find_library(GTK3_LIBRARY NAMES gtk-3)
call in <codelite-sourcedir>/cmake/Modules/FindGTK3.cmake.

Failing all else, look at some of the suggestions from googling 'CMake debug output' e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/228 ... -txt-files. Or, try building wxWidgets and then CodeLite against gtk+2 instead.

And another random suggestion: try setting an environmental variable in your terminal:
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/
That might help find_library to work correctly in the RPi.

Hi David,

Thanks again for your help. I have managed to build, install and run CodeLite.

Your suggestion of CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH was dot on. With that flag on cmake successfully went through. Make also went fine but I had problems with make install.

Thanks to your earlier pointers, I could debug it a bit and saw that cmake_install.cmake files generated by cmake earlier was trying to install codelite binaries in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/codelite/ directory which was failing as there is no /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu in my case.

I initially did not want to try and debug the main CMakeLists.txt and start from beginning (compilation took 3-4 hours), so I just manually modified cmake_install.cmake files and tried make install and it went through. Then I had to manually configure and run ldconfig to get codelite directory in library search path.

Lastly, I took a fresh download of the code to try to debug CMakeLists.txt. I made some changes and cmake worked without even the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH flag. Generated cmake_install.cmake also look fine. I have not recompiled though.

I am attaching the modified file. The changes are between lines 81-99, 459-460, 484-487. Please let me know what you think.
CMakeLists.txt
Thanks and regards,
Dinabandhu

Great!

I hope you have ccache installed. Over the years it's saved vast amounts of my time/cpu cycles.

Lastly, I took a fresh download of the code to try to debug CMakeLists.txt. I made some changes and cmake worked without even the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH flag. Generated cmake_install.cmake also look fine.
I see the problem, but I think there's a simpler fix: don't hard-code CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE at all as it's no longer needed.

Code: Select all

diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt
index a69e63be4..789ccb5d6 100644
--- a/CMakeLists.txt
+++ b/CMakeLists.txt
@@ -81,11 +81,6 @@ endif()
 if( UNIX AND NOT APPLE)
     set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -Wl,--disable-new-dtags")
     set(CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS} -Wl,--disable-new-dtags")
-    if (CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P EQUAL 8)
-        set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE "x86_64-linux-gnu")

 endif()
 
 if ( UNIX )
That should work as it's what the official debian package does for its builds, which include ARM64. I've tested it successfully here in an i386 virtualbox guest. However I don't have an RPi so I'd be grateful if you'd check it works for you, at least for the initial configure.

Hi,

It worked for me as well. The configure went through without a problem. The cmake_install files also looks fine. If you want I can try rebuild also in a couple of days and report back.

Thanks for the heads up on ccache. I have not used it before but it does look very interesting.

Thanks and regards,
Dinabandhu
