Not Installing Properly from Source on Arch Linux

[zhemao]

I am trying to install the toolchain from the git repository. I am using the commit for the stable release (f987844). I try to build and install as follows

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/opt/dcputoolchain ..
make
sudo make install

Everything goes fine until the last step. For some reason, running make install will only install glfw. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

System Details

• Up-to-date Arch Linux install
• cmake version 2.8.10.2
• GNU Make 3.82

Can you send a full log of the build and install?

I'll try building on Arch later.

In order for make install to work properly, you have to configure CMake to create a deployable build. To do this, add -DDEPLOYABLE=yes to your cmake command.

You'll also have to add /opt/dcputoolchain/lib to the dynamic linker's search path; I'll give instructions for that in a moment.

[cassiebeckley]

If you followed my instructions above, everything should have installed correctly in /opt/dcputoolchain; however, the toolchain has several shared libraries in /opt/dcputoolchain that the dynamic linker won't be able to find without adding it to the search path.

So, do sudo vi /etc/ld.so.conf.d/dcputoolchain.conf, and type /opt/dcputoolchain/lib, then save and close the file. Then, run sudo ldconfig to tell the linker that you've changed the configuration.

After that, you should be able to do /opt/dcputoolchain/bin/dtasm -h and see the help message for dtasm.

Okay, I'm trying that. But now I'm getting the following linker error.

/usr/bin/ld: ../third-party/bstring/libbstring.a(bstrlib.c.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
../third-party/bstring/libbstring.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

[zhemao]

Okay, so I was able to install from the pre-compiled binaries after changing the dynamic link path.

[cassiebeckley]

Oh, you're on x86-64 - I think I remember having problems when trying to compile on a 64 bit system. But it's good that the pre-compiled binaries work.

[cassiebeckley]

@hach-que are x86-64 builds supported?

[hach-que]

They're supported in both deployable and non-deployable modes as that's
what I build on.
