Topic: Building rt^3

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 01:39):

Anyone know what the embeddedlua errors are for? I keep getting things like "error: 'free' was not declared in this scope." When trying to run sudo make on the rt^3 makefile

Naseef (Dec 11 2017 at 02:23):

hmm... why run make as root?
and, is there any erros with cmake? you probably have to install BRL-CAD before buildin rt^3

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 20:42):

My directory for the files was restricted to the root user. Do you know how I may resolve the issue? I also installed BRLCAD 2 weeks ago so it's odd for it not to work

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 11 2017 at 20:43):

chown -R <user>:<groop> *?

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 20:45):

I've tried building it without a rooted directory and it still wouldn't work

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 20:45):

The embeddedlua files seem to throw it off

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 11 2017 at 20:46):

I've never even tried to build it as root.

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 20:48):

Do you have any ideas why it wont build properly?

Sean (Dec 11 2017 at 20:49):

you should never need to compile as root -- if you did, something else was wrong and compiling as root causes other problems

Sean (Dec 11 2017 at 20:50):

whenever I hear someone do that, my recommendation is to delete the directory and start over -- you made a mess and trying to figure out where the mess started is a bit of a waste of time... :)

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 20:52):

I've tried to do it without root and it didn't work but I'll give it another shot.

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 11 2017 at 20:53):

Do you mean make or make install?

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 20:56):

Reading the installation guide it says to use su -c "make install" but reports that no rule was made for "install."

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 20:57):

I've tried setting the install path and base dir in the cmake

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 20:57):

No luck

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 21:00):

Is that a common error?

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 11 2017 at 21:12):

No. My point was that the standard installation directory can only be created by root. But, if you changed the install path in CMake to something in your home directory ...

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 21:16):

(deleted)

Sean (Dec 11 2017 at 22:11):

@Mahdi try compiling (i.e., "make" on Linux or Compile in MSVC on Windows) and report whether that succeeds or not

Sean (Dec 11 2017 at 22:11):

you might not even need to install

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 23:32):

So I create a makefile in /build and run make on it, right? I've done that before without success as it always fails with the lua

Sean (Dec 11 2017 at 23:38):

saying it fails doesn't tell anyone anything that could possibly be helpful :)

Sean (Dec 11 2017 at 23:38):

what platform are you on?

Mahdi (Dec 11 2017 at 23:46):

My apologies, I was just about to send the error information:

• I'm running on Linux.
• While configuring the makefile I get a message saying "could not locate 'brlcad-config' aswell as configuration for 'ge' ... omitted and configuration for 'coreinterface' ... omitted.
• I receive a warning saying policy CMP0005 is not set in the embeddedlua cmakelist (the add_definitions)
• The compilation fails at [4%] - building writestring.o
• I receive errors about undeclared function calls

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 12 2017 at 08:01):

@Mahdi You should install BRL-CAD before and add the bin directory of the installation to your path environment variable.

caleb parks (Dec 19 2017 at 18:39):

I have been trying to build rt^3 but I have been getting errors.
the error I have been getting is:
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 18:41):

caleb can you run "make VERBOSE=1" and post all the output?

caleb parks (Dec 19 2017 at 18:44):

here is the output https://gist.github.com/sunkink29/057534fb413f1d5be8c084f7869d1c69

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 18:50):

@caleb parks try this: edit src/libge/CMakeLists.txt, find the ge_SRCS section, and add ../coreInterface/BagOfTriangles.cpp to the list

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 18:52):

in that same file, also edit the bottom TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES line and put nmg into the list e.g., TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(ge nmg ${BRLCAD_BU_LIBRARY} ...

caleb parks (Dec 19 2017 at 19:01):

that worked to get past that part but it threw another error
here is the log: https://gist.github.com/sunkink29/057534fb413f1d5be8c084f7869d1c69

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:03):

it didn't get past it, it just fixed one set of symbols -- there' s a handful in there missing

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:03):

actually doesn't look different...

caleb parks (Dec 19 2017 at 19:04):

sorry that was the same one. I updated it now

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:05):

ahh, that's definitely different ;)

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:06):

do you have BRL-CAD installed?

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:07):

okay, I see that you installed it into /usr/local/brlcad

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:07):

run this: ls -la /usr/local/brlcad/lib/libnmg.dylib

caleb parks (Dec 19 2017 at 19:09):

this is what I get back

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:09):

okay, so it's just a build burp that you can work around temporarily...

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:10):

run this: cd "/Users/RPS/Documents/BRL-CAD/rt^3/.build/src/libge"

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:10):

okay cool, so just a couple more lines missing from that CMakeLists.txt file that you edited

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:40):

@caleb parks I assume you have an svn checkout, yes? try "svn up" in the top source directory. you should see a couple files update with changes I just made

caleb parks (Dec 19 2017 at 19:50):

@caleb parks try editing tests/embeddedLua/hellobrlcad.cpp and change the print("Hello ", database:Title(), "!") line to:

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:52):

print(\"Hello \", database:Title(), \"!\")

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 19:53):

i.e., put a slash before all of the double quote characters just on that line

@caleb parks try this instead: const char* const TheLuaScript = "print(\"Hello \", database:Title(), \"!\")";

Sean (Dec 19 2017 at 20:10):

actually: const char* const TheLuaScript = "print(\"Hello \", database:Title(), \"!\")\n";

caleb parks (Dec 19 2017 at 20:16):

it compiled correctly after that change

Jeff Sieu (Dec 22 2017 at 17:48):

I'm having trouble trying to build rt^3. I have installed CMake, pkg-config and OGRE.
I built BRL-CAD from source, but haven't make install, only make.

I've tried setting the relevant paths in CMakeLists.txt in the root folder of rt3 like so (/home/jeff/Documents/brlcad is the location of the folder containing brlcad):

SET(BRLCAD_BASE_DIR /home/jeff/Documents/brlcad)
SET(BRLCAD_HEADERS_DIR /home/jeff/Documents/brlcad/src)
SET(BRLCAD_OPENNURBS_HEADERS_DIR /home/jeff/Documents/brlcad/src/other/openNURBS)
SET(TCL_INCLUDE_PATH /home/jeff/Documents/brlcad/src/other/tcl)

Then I tried building by doing:

cd rt3
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ...

which looked fine (no errors from cmake), but executing

make

returned a bunch of not declared in this scopes.

Also tried:

cd src/other
sudo make install

but this returns
file INSTALL cannot find "/include/embeddedlua.h

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 22 2017 at 19:55):

@Jeff Sieu Please try again after an svn update. There seem to be differences between the gcc versions (maybe in connection with the standard C++ compliance).

Jeff Sieu (Dec 23 2017 at 05:00):

Now I get this when I try to build in rt3/build and the same file INSTALL cannot find "/include/embeddedlua.h running make install in src/other.

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 23 2017 at 10:44):

@Jeff Sieu Please, do a svn update again.

Jeff Sieu (Dec 23 2017 at 16:05):

I got it to build! I had to install brlcad release via make install first.

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 23 2017 at 16:14):

:tada:
Installing BRL-CAD before helps (and is part of the task description ;) It's possible to set all the paths by hand, but it's not easy.

Naseef (Jan 11 2018 at 09:24):

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Gui.so.5.9.1: undefined reference to `png_set_interlace_handling@PNG16_0'

Naseef (Jan 11 2018 at 09:24):

Some missing libs?

Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 16:57):

that's usually version incompatibility. you have a system-installed libQt5Gui library that uses libpng, but the libpng it found didn't have a function it needs (png_set_interface_handling())

Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 16:57):

the fix can be tricky, can be simple

Naseef (Jan 12 2018 at 16:58):

Using my own libpng?

Naseef (Jan 12 2018 at 16:58):

Is the libpng in brl-cad older?

Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 17:13):

no, brl-cad includes a very new version (which can cause that problem too)

Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 17:13):

it would be newer than whatever qt5 used

Naseef (Jan 12 2018 at 17:19):

Well, Can I put older version of libpng(the version Qt5 use) in a different location and link Qt with that version instead of the one in BRL-CAD?

Sean (Jan 12 2018 at 19:15):

that should be possible -- you'll probably need to rebuild BRL-CAD and make sure libpng compilation is turned off (you may need to point it at the one Qt used)

Naseef (Jan 12 2018 at 19:51):

I'll try ...
