Hello list, To get around some of the strange kdebase build failures on Arch Linux, I create a fresh virtual machine in VirtualBox with a minimal install (X and fluxbox) to build Trinity in a clean build environment. Qt3 and tqtinterface build fine. We have run into an arts build failure where it won't use the shared library in its own directory. The error I get is: /usr/bin/ranlib libgsl.a make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/david/tbld/dependencies/arts/src' /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /home/david/tbld/dependencies/arts/src/CMakeFiles 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 [ 48%] Built target gsl-static make -f flow/CMakeFiles/artsflow_idl-shared.dir/build.make flow/CMakeFiles/artsflow_idl-shared.dir/depend make[2]: Entering directory `/home/david/tbld/dependencies/arts/src' /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /home/david/tbld/dependencies/arts/src/CMakeFiles [ 48%] Generating artsflow.cc cd /home/david/tbld/dependencies/arts/src/flow && ../mcopidl/mcopidl -t /home/david/tbld/dependencies/arts/flow/artsflow.idl ../mcopidl/mcopidl: error while loading shared libraries: libmcop.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [flow/artsflow.cc] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/david/tbld/dependencies/arts/src' make[1]: *** [flow/CMakeFiles/artsflow_idl-shared.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/david/tbld/dependencies/arts/src' make: *** [all] Error 2 Aborting... libmcop.so.1 is readily available in the mcop directory, so I don't understand the error: 17:47 trinity:~/tbld/dependencies/arts> find . -name libmcop.so.1 ./src/mcop/libmcop.so.1 My cmake environment and arguments are: export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/qt export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/qt/include:/opt/qt/include/tqt trinity_prefix="/opt/trinity" cd ${srcdir} cmake ../ \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${trinity_prefix} \ -DQT_LIBRARY_DIRS=/opt/qt/lib \ -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON make VERBOSE=1 The two exports and -DQT_LIBRARY_DIRS=/opt/qt/lib are required or cmake will not find the patched Qt3 (that may be normal, I don't know) Any ideas on how to get arts to see its libmcop.so.1? -- David C.
