Radiant fails to compile on Arch / Ubuntu about gtkradiant HOT 15 CLOSED

This is because Arch uses a newer version of libpng. Patches welcome. We want to maintain compatibility with Linux distributions that are already working though (at least Debian/sid x86_64 which is what I'm using).

from gtkradiant.

Current version of Ubuntu, most popular Linux now can't compile Radiant. They will update for sure libpng more in the April, when 12.04 will hit the stores. It's not only Arch Linux problem. Which version of libpng is needed? I have a couple of them as extra packages:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=libpng&do_Search=Go

from gtkradiant.

Do you know what version you are attempting to use right now?
This is what's in Debian: http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/libpng
You may be using 3, so I'd recommend trying 1.2 and going further down
if needed.

On a side note, it would make sense to write a debian package skeleton
for GtkRadiant. It's something I've stayed away in the past but it
would help control library dependencies, of which we have many. Same
for rpm based environments.

I have installed libpng12:

[michal@localhost aur-gtkradiant-svn]$ pacman -Qs libpng
local/libpng 1.5.9-1
A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files
local/libpng12 1.2.48-1
A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files

Still the same.

from gtkradiant.

Patches welcome. Eventually I'll find the time to spin up an ubuntu instance somewhere and fix it.

Did a brief compile attempt on Ubuntu 12.04, but it fails at the first link (radiant.bin) because of the order in which it puts the libraries on the link line. Not sure why I'm having that problem on this build system and you don't.

EDIT: Resolved - use binutils-gold linker. Wouldn't hurt to fix scons to pass the libs in the right order still.

from gtkradiant.

Ended up compiling everything with no problem on Ubuntu 12.04:
apt-get install libjpeg62-dev

Majki, maybe Arch doesn't have that package, or you have other libjpeg62-dev packages installed that conflict?

from gtkradiant.

I still can't compile it

[michal@localhost ~]$ yaourt -Qs libjpeg
extra/libjpeg-turbo 1.2.0-1
libjpeg derivative with accelerated baseline JPEG compression and decompression
local/libjpeg6 6b-9
Library of JPEG support functions

Problem must be elsewhere.

As for binutils-gold, it's in the Arch Linux by default in bilutils package: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/binutils/

as

usr/bin/ld
usr/bin/ld.bfd
usr/bin/ld.gold

from gtkradiant.

Try removing libjpeg-turbo maybe. I saw that package on ubuntu and ignored it. It could be putting incompatible headers in the include path.

I don't see the usefulness/work ratio for this getting anywhere, so I don't plan to work on this specific problem further. I expect providing Linux binaries directly will solve this #12

from gtkradiant.

So, I commited two files and gtkradiant has compile ok. (arch)

from gtkradiant.

So now if I yaourt gtkradiant it will compile, yes?

from gtkradiant.

in AUR pkgbuild is outdated (uses SVN, instead git). I will fix it.
In my patch-1 i see only one file, but I have edit /tools/quake3/q3map2/image.c too. How can I add second file?

from gtkradiant.

I have add new pull. With right patches of both files. I have download my fork and it compiles ok. I will fix PKGBUILD later.

from gtkradiant.

Thank you. I merged the change after checking that this still compiled on Debian/Sid. I would like someone to confirm that the Windows compilation hasn't broken before closing.

from gtkradiant.

Windows is compiling fine still. Radiant locks up while loading q3dm17sample on a jpg file, but I confirmed this wasn't caused by this change.
