Problems compiling 1.9.4 with boost library

[stupac]

Greetings, I've compiled wesnoth-devel versions on several dozen different systems and distros, but this time I'm stumped I'm afraid. This is what I get on my archbang netbook (basically Arch linux). I've installed all the prerequisites, anyone have any idea what to try next?

Code: Select all

[root@archbang wesnoth-1.9.4]# scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Saved options: default_targets = 'wesnoth,wesnothd'

It looks like the dynamic linker can't find libboost_thread.so.1.45.0 when running a test program. Maybe try running 'sudo ldconfig' followed by 'scons --config=force'.

[stupac]

Thanks for the reply loonycyborg. ldconfig ran ok, no output. But scons --config=force resulted in identical output as before. I compiled and installed the latest version of boost off their website, seemed to go in just fine so I'm not sure what is going on. Is there a binary package of boost maybe available for Arch that I'm not aware of? I couldn't find anything in the AUR or with pacman for that matter.

Also I checked the build/config.log and didn't see anything strange, but here it is just in case:

Does build/sconf_temp/conftest_21 work if you run it directly?

[stupac]

I'm afraid not:

Code: Select all

[root@archbang sconf_temp]# ./conftest_21
./conftest_21: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_thread.so.1.45.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Same thing. I wish I knew where it was searching for the library so maybe I could link them?

Just thought I'd add this:

Code: Select all

[root@archbang sconf_temp]# whereis libboost_thread.so.1.45.0
libboost_thread.so.1.45: /usr/local/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.45.0

Thanks again for the help!

Distros generally don't install libs into /usr/local/lib. It seems to be a custom install of boost. In order for runtime linker to find the library in /usr/local/lib this entry should be in /etc/ld.so.conf, naturally changes in this file take effect after a ldconfig run.

[stupac]

Good thinking. I added the line /usr/local/lib to a file and included it in the /etc/ld.so.conf, ran ldconfig and then scons and I got further but it is still hung up somewhere.

Is Ogg support in SDL required? If so, I suppose that means I'll need to uninstall and recompile SDL with flags for Ogg support?

[loonycyborg]

Probably you just need to run scons --config=force because it didn't rerun that test program. If it still fails paste build/config.log

[stupac]

Perfect, worked like a charm! Thanks for all the help loonycyborg! It is greatly appreciated. Thought I'd go crazy if not for one my favorite time killers!

Cheers!
