Codelite on RPi4/Ubuntu

[dinabandhu]

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.

Are you certain you have libgtk-3-dev (and its dependencies) installed? That's what such configure errors usually point to

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

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)

[dinabandhu]

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.

Regards,
Dinabandhu

[DavidGH]

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.

[DavidGH]

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.

[dinabandhu]

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

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.

[dinabandhu]

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
