Gled build

Build notes

This is system specific information, supplementing stuff available in gledimp document.

Debian / Ubuntu

gled-builder works OK, you need to pre-install some packages.

  apt-get install dpkg-dev autoconf libtool subversion cmake g++ gfortran \
    libglu1-mesa-dev libssl-dev libxft-dev libxpm-dev libfreetype6-dev libxi-dev \
    libxmu-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev libpng-dev libmng-dev \
    libnetpbm10-dev libvorbis-dev libglib2.0-dev dialog \
    libgsl0ldbl libgsl0-dev \
    libpcre3-dev
  

Fedora

Works fine from Fedora 14 to 18. The same list as for RHEL-6 below is OK.

RHEL-6, CentOS-6, SLC-6

  yum install gcc gcc-c++ gcc-gfortran subversion cmake autoconf automake libtool \
    libXpm-devel libXft-devel glew glew-devel gsl gsl-devel pcre-devel openssl-devel \
    libpng-devel libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libmng-devel netpbm-devel glib2-devel

Mac OSX 10.5 with Fink

gled-builder works OK, you will need to get quite some stuff via fink:

  apt-get install subversion cmake pkgconfig dialog \
    netpbm10 netpbb10-shlibs glib2 glib2-dev glib2-shlibs xdg-base

Configure gled-builder with: ./configure CC=gcc ..., cc is not recognized properly by the compiler-version.pl.

There are some peculiarities, handled properly by the logick in package perl scripts:

• root Configure for 32-bit build, fink stuff is 32-bit.
• DevIL Build without ILUT - GL is taken from X11 and some symbols are re-exported.

Issues with gled build:

• .dylib libs are created and .so sym-linked to them. This is not needed any more on 10.5, .so libraries can be built directly. This will simplify a couple of things - but then again - this issue is even worse on windows so some logick handling this issue could be kept.
• MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 is set in environment scripts, script generation code and also in greed module scripts. 10.6 is coming soon, so this will have to be done better.

Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 with MacPorts

Get the MacPorts, configure them for universal binaries (by putting +unversal into variants.conf) or for 64-bit builds (by setting arch to x86_64 in macports.conf). I think the defaults are OK, so you shouldn't have to do anything.

Install the following ports, this will pull in all necessary stuff:

  sudo port install netpbm glib2 gsl libvorbis cmake pcre

gled-builder should work out of the box, the following configure options should be used:

  ./configure EXTRA_PATHS=/opt/local MAKE_J_OPT=-j4 --build=x86_64-apple-darwin11.0.0   # --prefix=/opt/gled

General issues with external packages

DevIL

1.7.4 is used (slightly modified, global variable color_type had to be declared as static in il_png.c and il_icon.c to avoid symbol collision on mac). 1.7.8 is out, but had some problems building it. Somebody should investigate.
