Problems compiling Vavoom 1.31 on Debian Lenny

[b0rsuk]

Hi

I decided to try Vavoom to see what all the fuss is about, but I can't compile it. As far as I can tell I have all the required packages, including development versions. Output of cmake:

Code: Select all b0rsuk@Machaka:~/zrzut/vavoom-1.31$ cmake . -- The C compiler identification is GNU -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Found ZLIB: /usr/lib/libz.so -- Found wxWidgets: TRUE -- ASM prefix: -- Using i386 assembly files -- Looking for include files CMAKE_HAVE_PTHREAD_H -- Looking for include files CMAKE_HAVE_PTHREAD_H - found -- Looking for pthread_create in pthreads -- Looking for pthread_create in pthreads - not found -- Looking for pthread_create in pthread -- Looking for pthread_create in pthread - found -- Using Allegro -- Using LINUX CD-ROM API -- Found PNG: /usr/lib/libpng.so -- Found JPEG: /usr/lib/libjpeg.so -- Could NOT find OggVorbis libraries -- Could NOT find LibMAD libraries -- Could NOT find FLAC libraries -- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: /home/b0rsuk/zrzut/vavoom-1.31

So far, no problem. But there's also a line which worries me a bit: "-- Looking for pthread_create in pthreads - not found". I can't tell what it means and how serious it is.

Then it breaks at around 14%, after

[code][ 14%] Building CXX object utils/vlaunch/CMakeFiles/vlaunch.dir/vlaunch.o

You can skip building of launcher by adding -DENABLE_LAUNCHER=NO to cmake.

After looking at wxWidgets header files I have impression that it tries to compile with GUI disabled.

[b0rsuk]

What version of wxwidgets does Vavoom require ? I have a hunch 2.6 from Debian stable may be too old.

[Janis Legzdinsh]

2.6 should be fine.

What is the output of

Code: Select all

wx-config --cflags

[b0rsuk]

The output is:

Code: Select all

-I/usr/lib/wx/include/base-unicode-release-2.6 -I/usr/include/wx-2.6 -DwxUSE_GUI=0 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -DNO_GCC_PRAGMA

[Janis Legzdinsh]

-DwxUSE_GUI=0

Here's the problem.

[b0rsuk]

-DwxUSE_GUI=0

Here's the problem.

Thanks. I don't know much about GUI development. I thought I had all the needed wx packages, including dev ones. It seems Vavoom launcher uses wxgtk.

Long story short: I installed libwxgtk2.6-dev and it compiled.
